• Work with virtually all prescriptions in single vision, progressive and bifocal designs and materials.
• They are appropriate for children, adults and especially for those with a heightened sensitivity to light.
• Transitions lenses are compatible with all anti-reflective (AR) coatings, and perform even better when combined with AR.
• Two most common types are Transitions and Drivewear which is a polarized photosensitive lens.

Polarizing:

• Polarised lenses eliminate glare from horizontal surfaces such as water, roads, pavements, snow, sand and reflective surfaces such as car exteriors.
• A polarised film built into the lens acts like a venetian blind, blocking out light traveling in certain directions that would otherwise result in glare.

Polarizing Transitions: 

• These lenses have the Polarizing benefits of reducing glare from horizontal surfaces combined with the ability to tint from light to dark.
• Great for active lifestyles and performance enhancing sports sunglasses.

Polycarbonate Lenses Children and Safety

• Polycarbonate lenses are 10 times more impact resistant than ordinary plastic lenses, and they're inherently scratch-resistant.
• The durability of polycarbonate lenses provides greater in-built protection against eye injury, making them perfect for children and Safety eyewear.
• Children who wear glasses will appreciate the incredible lightness that polycarbonate lenses offer, with no more red marks on their noses and no pressure points behind the ears
• Lighter, thinner, flatter, tougher, and with UV protection built in, polycarbonate lenses provide a host of benefits to children and adults alike.
• Polycarbonate lenses provide in-built protection against 100% of UVA rays and 99.9% of UVB rays. Wearers don't have to choose UV protection as an added extra; with polycarbonate lenses UV protection is inherent in the lens material.
