Transition Glasses — How effective are they actually? Myths & Facts

What type of glasses is best for your eyes? The answer is — It depends.

Everyone’s preference for glasses differs. One might find one type of glasses good for them while others have a hard time adjusting to them.

It doesn’t only depend on the plus-minus power. Your glasses can depend on the type of work you do.

For instance, you work in front of computers 9-to-5 and do not go out in sun most of the time. A pair of blue light blocking glasses will work for you. If you work outdoors, you need to wear your sunglasses especially if the UV index in your place is high. If your work requires you to go in and out of places, a pair of transition glasses are what you are seeking.

Transition glasses are made of special lenses that transition to darker shades when you are in the sunlight. It transitions back to normal when you go back to the normal light setting. It also helps you in seeing in the dark without straining your eyes.

Who should use transition lenses?

You are an event coordinator, a wedding planner or any such work that requires you to stay both indoors and outdoors.

You cannot keep switching your glasses with sunglasses all the time, Can you?

Imagine yourself taking orders from the client indoors and going outdoors to fulfil the orders. And then giving instruction again indoors and moving out soon afterwards.

Crazy isn’t it?

If you think your work is as crazy as going all the places, you will need transition lenses. With transition lenses, you will not need to change your eyeglasses all the time.

Your job requires you to wear transition glasses, but some myths online are stopping you from doing so. Let’s debunk these myths.

Lenses do not fully clear indoors

Most high-quality transition lenses have cleaner lenses indoors. The transition hardly takes seconds.

If you are coming from the bright sun outside into a dark room, normally your pupils dilate to allow more lights to enter. Adjusting from bright light to normal light takes time. At first, you are blinded from the brightness, but you adjust to light soon.

However, with transition glasses, you are not straining your eyes, your glasses are adjusting to facilitate your viewing darkening or clearing up. The amount of darkening or clearing up depends on the amount of light.

There are mostly three phases of your transition lenses, one very dark, one clearer and gradual darkening. These transitions don’t take much time at all. It is much faster than you getting used to a dark room or bright room. So this fact is totally a myth in the case of high-quality lenses.

If your transition glasses take time to become clearer indoors, then return your glasses to the maker. It is not serving the purpose it is made of. You can buy glasses online for whatever type of lenses you need. You can easily browse the online catalogue of frames and choose the lenses type and coating just as easy.

Lenses do not turn dark in a car

Again a myth. Depending on the light inside the car, your glasses darken. It facilitates your viewing inside the car and also protects your eyes from the oncoming headlights, flashlights or traffic lights. You can get the optimum amount of darkness for your lenses without blocking your view inside the car.

Wearing sunglasses inside the car during the night can be dangerous since you need your vision to work properly. Sunglasses can inhibit your vision where there is no light and doesn’t adjust to the light as transition lenses do.

These can replace sunglasses

This depends on what quality of transition lenses you are using. If you are in a high UV index area, you will need an extra coating of UV 400 on your glasses or your sunglasses. In normal areas, your transition glasses are enough to ward off the sun glares and bright lights. Transition glasses are better than regular glasses. If your glasses have UV 400 coating, you can get away with harmful UV rays. Also, if your glasses have an extra coating of anti-glare, you can totally eliminate the little risk your glasses had. The direct sunlight reflected light of the hard metal surfaces or water surfaces will no longer harm your eyes.

Yes, you can use transition glasses as sunglasses. These are at least better than regular sunglasses. With an extra coating of anti-glare and UV 400, you can make your glasses even better than polarised sunglasses or mirrored sunglasses.

Glasses for the older generation

Now, this one is a blatant stereotype. It is as good as saying glasses are for nerds. Not only old generations who have demanding work, or simply fear losing their glasses, a pair of sunglasses can wear transition lenses. Its convenience doesn’t label old people’s glasses. More younger people can choose this convenience.
