What exactly are Transitions Xtractive lenses and do they really help? Here’s the lowdown.
Picture this: you step out of the house and immediately feel your eyes squinting. The glaring sunlight hits your eyes like a brick, and you close your eyes momentarily for some relief. Now, rewind everything, but imagine a situation where your eyes naturally adjust to both indoor and outdoor light. Feels great, huh? It’s no magic one-solution-fix-all but, trust us, Transitions lenses might very well be your saving grace.
Firstly, what are they? These look just like normal lenses, with a cool function that allows them to respond to the light around you. They stay clear indoors but transform into dark lenses when you step out under the sun. These photochromic lenses offer dynamic light protection both indoors and outdoors.
5 reasons to try Transitions Xtractive lenses
1. They’re a godsend for light-sensitive individuals
You may not realise it, but we’re exposed to harsh light more often than we’d expect. It happens while driving, using a computer indoors, doing grocery shopping (those bright white lights in the supermarket!), and so on.
In fact, reports have shown that repeated exposure to such light has resulted in a negative impact on eye health, causing dry eyes, blurred vision, and overall eye fatigue. So, why put yourself through all that suffering when you can enjoy better eye comfort and improved vision experience all day, everyday?
Studies have shown that 9 out of 10 wearers of Transitions lenses are light-sensitive, with 3 out of 10 being very light sensitive. Curious to see how you’ll fare? Take an online light sensitivity quiz and find out.
2. They’ve got two brand new products you can try
We’re eyeing the Transitions Xtractive New Gen lenses and Transitions Xtractive Polarize. The former is designed specially for individuals living a busy modern life — it delivers the best extra darkness and best extra light protection. It even fades back from dark to clear indoors at a rate that’s 35% faster than before.
The latter is designed for more active individuals, seamlessly adjusting to different types of light. This is suitable for people who spend a lot of time exercising outdoors or driving in the day under the sunlight.
3. They offer nothing but the best protection
Transitions has been the pioneer in light protection since the 1990s, so you can be rest assured these folks know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to lenses — and it shows. Think: total protection from blue light, UV light and glare.
4. They work in cars and under hot temperatures
The Transitions XTRActive New Gen lenses are the only photochromic lenses to achieve category 2. The Transitions Xtractive Polarized also darken in the car up to category 2, so it’s a total win-win. Wear them everywhere: in the car, on the train, on the bus, indoors at work, or outdoors on walks… take your pick.
5. They make you look effortlessly stylish
And hey, they look good too! Choose from a range of three iconic colors for the two new launches, with various mirror finishes to boot.
