Ultimate Review of all photochromic Transitions Lenses Technology - Need help buying eyeglasses? Watch this! 👉 • How to Buy Prescriptio...
Photochromic lenses, often referred to as adaptive or transition lenses, are a remarkable innovation in the world of eyewear. These lenses undergo a transformation when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, adapting to changing light conditions and providing optimal vision whether you're indoors or outdoors. Here, we delve into the differences between three notable variations: Transitions Generation 8, Transitions Xtractive, Transitions Xtractive Polarized and Transitions Drivewear.
This video is NOT sponsored by Transitions
There are many other brands of photochromic lenses but these are some of the most well-known and the ones I have experience with.

Are you a fan of Transitions or other brands of photochromic lenses? Which is your favorite?

[@michaelgoodman3326]

I've been a big fan of the concept of photochromic lenses over the years, but I have found that they always seem to lose the ability to transition too quickly. I often keep a pair of sunglasses for up to two years and the photochromic lenses that I've used in the past never seem to retain the ability to transition that long. When they make a lens that they guarantee will keep transitioning through at least a couple years of use, I'll go back to them.

[@trend9673]

Colorblind glasses please 🥺

[@stl4785]

I am curious to know which lens last the longest

[@bjsmind]

The Xtractive works well for me. Although I would love to have it in green G-15. What I have now is the gray with a mirror coating on it. I wonder if you could add a flash coating on the Transitions Drivewear?

[@atzinmonroy6737]

I like Zeiss better!

[@alexisowens9310]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I had had transitions before, but when I went to order new ones there were so many options. This went though all of the options perfectly and told me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you sm!!

[@vancie]

Great video! This was so helpful for me in choosing what would best suit my needs. Your explanations of the features, pros, and cons was so clear

[@GavinEarnshaw]

Good summary - thanks. I find that Serengeti photochromic lenses are even darker (if a little slower). I used to have G15 Ray-Ban but Serengeti 555nm lenses are green (and change colour filtering as they get darker). I love the restful feeling when I put the Sedonna (magenta/rose). Plus I have wraparound frames. Only problem is that the cost of prescription lenses 😮 so I also have Transitions gen 8 signature and Drivewear in my glasses. I use contacts and can use the Serengeti. I was a UK driving instructor and on a wet, slightly foggy day made one student try my Serengeti glasses. He said "these are better than my eyes!" 😃He was so amazed at the extra visibility from the blue light reduction.

[@Blacksquareable]

I had no idea there were so many! I have polaroids and it's made a significant difference. Mine can get dark indoors and also on a dull day outside which helps as I am quite sensitive to some indoor lights too.

Hi Allen, 😊 Very Happy to Follow your videos as it helps me learn and understand improving my Severe Dry Eye Care for years following your content. I wanted to ask if you can make content about doing digital work on tabs, laptops or desktops and other alternatives. Which would be an ideal choice to work? And further where should we watch movies whether it's theater screens, tv's, desktops or other sources. Bcoz it's always a challenge to view or work upon content on various mediums of channels. It helps us to save our eye energies better with less eye wear and tear. Same can be informed about playing sports , swimming, driving and more activities. How to manage them with better practices or avoiding them for Better. Thanks for yours years of effort on Eye Care and Dry eyes. Please keep Doing More.

[@DrAndrewDoan]

Over the years, photochromic transition lenses have made significant technological advancements. It is important to emphasize the use of darkened lenses or sunglasses in bright sunlight to help mitigate the progression of cataracts.

[@marydarcangelo2907]

I have the Gen 8 in purple. When I got them I was surprised that the purple color in the sun wasn’t as dark as expected. It is more of a gray with a purple undertone but I still love them.

[@airborn65]

@DoctorEyeHealth, nice info. What can you say about the new Transitions Style Mirror? Is is useful indoors without so much reflection at the back of the lenses?

[@mitchellkaufman4307]

Hi Dr. Allan. I enjoyed watching this video in particular because, as an Optician, I dispense Transitions 8 lenses. Greater than 50% of all orders include Transitions. I am also a Certified Specialist. While there are many outstanding attributes, I find there are instances where they don't darken enough to MY satisfaction, and I own every variety. However, those who try them for the first time are always satisfied and repeat customers wouldn't wear anything else.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thanks for sharing! I agree that I personally prefer xtractives or darker sunglasses.

[@Birdylockso]

I'm comparing ZEISS PhotoFusion X with the Transition Gen 8. I've noticed the same thing as you, i.e., the latter won't darken enough under the hot sun. Not sure why though.

[@coldlarva7819]

hey so as someone who struggles with even looking forward under the sun, would you recommend the Xtra active polarized or just the Xtra active lenses cuz I’m also sensitive to places with a lot of light bulbs like the airport and at times but not frequently, I might even be tearing up

[@coldlarva7819]

@@DoctorEyeHealth would you recommend I just go and look for a pair of very dark sunglasses lenses cuz I am very disturbed by the sun, I always walk face down, get headaches and also I ain’t fully comfortable when indoors with a lot of light. Along from a transitions lens, I’d appreciate if you can recommend a brand of sunglasses that can tackle these problems for me I already know the tips to look out for thanks to one of your videos u posted 3yrs ago I just watched🙏

[@alexwalters9343]

Dr. Allen. I would love your insight on my specific case of eye floaters. I have watched your videos on floaters and would love to hear your thoughts. I have constant eye floaters all across my field of vision. They never go away and I notice them in basically every setting 24/7. I do not experience flashes of light or the "curtain" effect you talk about in this video. I feel like you can give me good insight because like you, my eye floaters developed in my early 20's sometime around early 2020 at the age of 24. I remember looking into the sky and noticing a small floater. Around the time that my floaters developed, I was also dealing with what seemed like a constant headache. Eventually the headache went away, but the floaters - with what began as one small floater to being across my entire field of vision in months - remained and are still bothering me. I also see small little sparks of light (almost like fireflies that are most noticeable when I look at the sky). Every now and then I'll see random flashes either white dots/sparks as well as black/brown dots. Trying to figure out what is going on and why I went from zero floaters to a field of vision full of lasting, constant floaters within months. Any insight will help. Thanks.

[@dawidrozburski4174]

Gen 8 + Drivewear = perfection

[@monkeytrainer8135]

Thank you! This video was tremendously helpful. I am looking at these glasses for my daughter, who is in remission from Burkitt-type non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She is 16, and about to get her learner's permit, so will be driving soon. She really hates the color distortion on the Blokz blue light filtering lenses, so I think she would prefer the Gen 8, because they are perfectly clear indoors. However, I don't know what she's just going to have to get used to, now that she has to really be careful to protect herself following her short but extremely intense cancer treatment this past summer. What lenses would you say offer the maximum protection? Should we just get her a spare pair of polarized prescription sunglasses for when she drives?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thanks for sharing this and I wish your daughter the best. A transitions gen 8 May be the best for normal glasses wear but while driving the car, they won’t activate. So consider getting either a clip on pair of sunglasses or a dedicated sunglasses pair. Hope that helps.

[@Linda_and_Dogs]

How well do these lenses transition for those of us with higher (-12 or more) prescriptions? In the past, they were useless in sunny, cold weather as the transition back to clear would take 25-30 minutes.

[@naomiivie7000]

Thank you so much! This was so useful!

[@e-kwentotv3942]

Hi Doctor eye health i would like to ask what kind of eyeglasses that you recommended to me because i have a problem about lighting and i was working in warehouse they said transition eyeglasses is not working in indoor and i need darker eyeglasses because i’m driving forklift machine thank you.

[@aashitaarora314]

Hi doctor. I got ICL surgery done 3 months ago and now i have floaters and i also have refractive error again. I got checked and have a spherical and a cylindrical power . Will my floaters go away if i get corrective surgery to fix the refractive error?

[@sharins2265]

I think they put gen 8 for me recently and it barely gets dark . So I am going to have them change it. I have glaucoma and very sensitive. I was wondering which one to get for driving

[@CJFoxthewhitefoxden]

Thanks for the in depth look at what these lenses are. I"ve had Transition lenses for years and the new ones ( Gen 8) are way better. Not perfect, but very good. Can't wait to see what they do in the next few years.

[@Shraxie]

Hi Dr, I had my Lasik about 4 days ago. No dryness, nothing before hand. I went to my one day POST-OP and they told me that I have SPK on my left eye from dryness.

I watched your videos and can’t see that being true. Is zeuis xtractive transition polarized different somehow? I saw in other videos it is completely clear as well.

[@matt.noble05]

What frame is used with the xtractive lens??

[@atcha5735]

Just gone for the Transition XtraActive lenses from Gen 8 can't wait for them to arrive.

[@Dustin_Platt]

The only issue I've had with patients is that the Transition Mirrors is that they will hold their color even with they are clear. For example, if you get the blue mirror Transition, you'll always have a blue hue to the lens.

[@ankitbisaria]

Can you comment on Gen 8 G15 green vs Gen 8 grey? These are the two transition colors available for the Ray Ban Meta smart glasses. I think the grey are only available directly from Ray Ban where the G15 are more widely available so only the G15 can be found in stores.

I'm finding that my glasses don't get nearly dark enough outside or when I'm driving, I'm having to squint while wearing them,which is frustrating. Unfortunately, I can't return them now because it's past the return/warranty.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Sorry to hear that they are not dark enough in the car (common issue with some photochromic lenses). I just checked Warby Parker and it looks like they have their own brand of photochromic lenses and they are not the "transitions" brand. So they may not work in the car the way Xtractive ones work, maybe clip on sunglasses?

[@G.Photogirl]

[@yusufmahsan1056]

Is red light filter in device screen safe? The red light seems harmful to look at.

[@TheCowthulu]

The first tip I would have for anyone looking for Translations lenses is first look at Sunglasses that might be displayed with the frames. Not that you are going to buy them but instead to see a few sunglass styles that work for you. Next look at the frames available for eyeglasses that are close to the sunglass styles you like. Often times sunglass frames are available in an eyeglass frame as well. When you try them on as eyeglasses you can see if you would also like them clear. Doing this will give you glasses that look natural when they are outdoors but that you also like the look of when it’s indoors. Why a lot of people don’t like transitions lenses is they picked frames that would never look like sunglasses and it just looks wrong when they are outside.

[@sheridanbucket]

Transitions Vantage are the most comfortable from indoors to outdoors and back. They don't make them anymore; but, the reddish/violet tint also seems to lessen the possibility of headaches from light sensitivity. Virtually clear inside. The transition to darker is magically unnoticeable (you will have to take them off to verify that they did indeed get darker). They don't change much at all in the car, and the variable polarization is minimal; but, all around comfort in all light conditions makes for a pleasant day, go-to pair. Essilor really should reconsider and bring them back.

Looks like none of these incluidng the gen 8 go properly clear they all seem to have a fair bit of residual tint, Zeiss photofusion X is better in that respect goes totally clear and also seems to be quicker getting dark and then clear again. I think they have nicer colours too e.g. their blue really is nice vivid blue whereas transitions is more of a grey than a blue. Saying that I don't think any of these transitions style lenses get properly dark under normal use. I've only seen my Photofusion X go properly dark when held under a UV test lamp and not out in the real world!

Thanks for sharing! I would really love to test out other brands of photochromics.

Hi, Can you please make a video on meibomian gland dysfunction? I am suffering from meibomian gland dropout. It will be a great help if you can make a video on it and tell the solution for the same.

Hello doctor, for more than 3 weeks i feel mild irritation and gritty feeling ,slightly puffy when i wake up in the morning in my left eye, and very rarely mild pain behind the eyes.. i'm using eye drops for dry eye and oflaxacin oinment for nearly 5 days.. but no improvement . I saw your video about thyroid eye disease, i was hypothyroid and given 37.5 mcg thyronorm medication .. when i recently took the test on empty stomach my tsh level is 0.39.. does it affects my eye or could be some other problem ??? It will be really helpful if i get a reply from you.. also i'm 13 weeks pregnant
