Eyecare professionals agree that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays over time is harmful to the eyes. Yet research shows that only 9% of consumers associate UV radiation with damage to their eyes - as compared to 82% who recognize the dangers that UV has on the skin.

The eyes are just as vulnerable to harmful UV as is the skin. Invisible UV rays and visible glare are present everyday, year-round, on cloudy days, in bright light, and everything in between.

It is important for everyone to protect their eyes - whether 100% UV blocking sunglasses are worn or for prescription lens wearers, ask your eyecare professional about photochromic lenses. "Photochromic" means that the lenses automatically change from clear to dark in the presence of UV radiation.

Transitions® Lenses are the #1 brand of photochromic lenses recommended by eyecare professionals worldwide. Transitions Lenses block 100% of the sun's eye-damaging rays and reduce painful, discomforting glare. Transitions Lenses are the single most convenient way to protect the eyes from UV radiation and glare all-day, every day and offer:

 • Convenient protection - Transitions Lenses help to maintain long-term eye health by providing convenient protection from the increasing risks of everyday UV exposure. Transitions Lenses block 100% of harmful UV rays.

  • Visual quality - Transitions Lenses are clear indoors until dangerous UV rays are present. Outdoors, the brighter the sun, the darker Transitions Lenses become. They turn as dark as sunglasses by automatically adjusting their level of darkness based upon the amount of UV radiation and diminish outdoor glare by allowing just the right amount of light to reach the eye improving visual contrast regardless of light conditions.

  • Visual comfort - Transitions Lenses provide visual comfort by automatically adjusting to glare intensity, reducing eye fatigue and enhancing well-being so that your eyes feel more comfortable.
