Zenni Optical Photochromics vs Transition Xtractive vs Xtractive Polarized vs Sunglasses

[@elytraxp]

Super helpful video! I was worried if the transitions would get dark enough for my sensitive eyes. Your side-by-side comparison helped a lot. Thank you for posting.

[@dant62]

Excellent comparison, the most useful on the platform. It would be nice to see if the Transitions Polarized work well enough at polarizing light to be worthwhile.

I have Blokz Photochromic from Zenni and it seems to get much darker than that generic Zenni but not as dark as Xtractive.

Is it still good after 1 year?

[@roberttrinies7698]

Seems that the Transitions Gen 8 should be in this comparison, they stay clear indoors but don't darken behind the cars windshield.

i wish this video existed sooner lol. hey, can you also compare the anti-reflective coatings between the clear glasses, xtractive, xtractive polarized and the zenni photochromic glasses? i have high end Seiko frames with Clear Zeiss lenses and when i compare the anti-reflective coating of my Seiko's to my new pair of Zenni photochromic the difference is night and day. almost as if the Zenni's don't even have anti-reflective coating at all (i mean they do have AR coating, there is a green hue to the reflections but it basically reflects everything around you where the Zeiss glasses barely show any sign of reflections at all) at first i didn't really think much about this because i figured maybe they just have to apply poor anti-reflective coatings to allow more light to go through the photochromic paint inside the lens, but since you actually have 3 different types of photochromic and a pair of clear glasses (presumably also from zenni?) that would be really nice if you could compare between them all and see which type of lens has the better anti-reflective coating

Do you have a tips box or anything like that? Would love to see gen s, drivewear, and the new "eyeqlens" and would love to help fund it!

[@UseMyFrame]

Great job Doyen! When you're ready for the new Transitions Gen S, let me know so we can have an addition to your reviews - I think you'll love them! :)

[@PJBlanco]

Is it my impression or the xtractive polarized is not as dark as the xtractive?

[@roberttrinies7698]

Maybe it's because the polarizing blocks some of the light that makes the lens darken..?

[@yogibear6084]

correct.

[@lizsusandiazcleto2969]

Súper helpful! Thank you very much!!

[@RockSleeper]

Are the generics the Bloxz option from Zenni?

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

Alright homie. Good looking out. Biggest mistake i ever made with my first pair of glasses was actually paying for Transitions. I freaking hate it. 😂 Clear is the way to go for me. LensCrafters wanted $475 and then some how it bumped up to $900. 🤣 Screw that. I can live bit time with Zenni generics if I ever wanted to go with another pair of photochromics.

[@joelf5565]

Ok, but how does Zenni’s generic compare to regular Transitions (not their XtraActive ones)?

[@lilliangarcia5984]

Which transitions gets darker outside ? Heading to Dr next week Ty

[@mikmess6129]

What is the difference between xtractive and xtractive polarized indoora and out? Is the polarized better if working on a computer

[@FeydHarkon666]

You are a savior

[@LastTrump7]

Are there any negatives to Transition’s Polarized glasses indoors?

[@doyenguy]

No, although the Xtractives always have a very slight tint indoor--they are not completely clear. You won't notice this, but other people looking at your glasses might.

[@JevgenijMisevic]

Are basic photochromic grey ore brown color?

[@bryocx]

Great video, what do you would you recommend for someone with a tight budget?

[@shaylatrice7723]

Zenni in my personal opinion. I purchased from there last year and they did really good.

[@moshethehebrew8328]

Thanks brother

[@RapidRevolver420]

Are the photocromic lenses the gen 8 Transitions ?

[@doyenguy]

The generic photochromics might be, but Zenni Optical doesn't say what they are. They don't seem to have great performance. I suspect they are not any generation of Transitions.

[@cbrophy]

They just came out with a new one called Transition Drivewear if you're so inclined to review another 😂

i am in and out a lot for work I need something that can take the brightness down just a little thoughts?
