From Ordinary Lenses to Extraordinary Technology

The magic behind Transitions lenses lies in how the photochromic technology is integrated directly into the lens. This is achieved through one of two specialized processes:

Imbibing — Derived from the Latin word imbibere, meaning “to drink in.” This process uses heat to draw the photochromic dye deep into the lens material. Afterward, a durable scratch-resistant coating is applied to the surface.

Trans-Bonding™ — For lens materials that don’t easily imbibe, Transitions uses this patented method to bond the photochromic technology directly to the lens surface.

Both processes result in consistent tint color and performance across all prescriptions and lens materials. Every Transitions lens is optimized for color uniformity, durability, and compatibility with premium coatings such as anti-reflective and blue-light protection.

Behind the Windshield

Most photochromic lenses react primarily to UV light, which means they don’t darken much inside a car since modern windshields block UV rays. Transitions® solved that problem with Transitions® XTRActive® lenses, featuring molecules that respond to both UV and visible light.

That means your lenses will still darken — even behind the windshield — giving drivers adaptive comfort and clarity no standard clear lens can match.

For those seeking the ultimate driving experience, Transitions® Drivewear® lenses combine photochromic technology with NuPolar® polarization, eliminating glare from the road and car surfaces. These lenses automatically adjust color and tint depending on light conditions, ensuring crisp vision whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or anywhere in between.

Temperature and Its Effect on Photochromic Performance

Photochromic molecules react to UV light — but temperature can influence how quickly they change.

When lenses are cold, the molecules slow down, taking slightly longer to fade from dark to clear. In warm conditions, they react faster, meaning your lenses darken and fade more quickly.

Transitions continually refines its formulas to balance responsiveness with comfort in every climate. The latest Transitions® Signature® GEN 8™ lenses represent the most advanced generation yet — darker outdoors, clearer indoors, and faster to fade back than ever before.

That’s why Transitions remains the most recommended photochromic lens brand worldwide — trusted for consistent performance, cutting-edge science, and everyday convenience.
