Review of Essilor Transitions Xtractive New Generation Lenses! Looking to find the best glasses or sunglasses for you? Check out my other reviews and tips here: • Warby Parker Review - ...
In this video we review the newest generation of the Xtractive Transition lenses. Transitions are a top brand of Photochromic glasses that activate when exposed to UV light (such as going outside) and turn into sunglasses. The new “Transition Extra Active”, shortened to Xtractive, are made to be more sensitive to light than previous designs, allowing for the lenses to get darker and transition faster than any other photochromic lens.
We also review the Xtractive Transitions ability to work inside the car and how they even filter blue light both indoors and outdoors.
Key Features of the New Generation
🔹 Darker than any other photochromic lens at moderate temperatures
🔸 Transitions about 35% faster than previous generations Transitions Lenses
🔹 Blocks 100% UV light
🔸 Filters up to 34% Blue Light indoors and up to 90% outdoors (380-460nm)

Been waiting for this, especially a comparison between Xtractive New Generation vs Signature Gen 8. Just wish there was something as clear as Gen 8 indoors and as dark as Xtractive outdoors and in the car.

@mostguitarswins Год назад

I'm glad that photochromatic lens technology is being improved and hopefully it will become available in more affordable brands. Currently for the price you quoted I could get TWO pairs of photochromic prescription glasses (or prescription tinted sunglasses).

@spencereeves 2 года назад

Super informative review! I've been considering going for a transitions-style lens for my new prescription and I definitely think I am going to try the Xtractive based on their ability to tint more in a car and in warmer environments.

@keithbordlee976 2 года назад

I've been rocking the transitions regular for 14 years but got the Xtra active last year for the 1st time and I love them! Got a new pair again this year and seems they are even better than last year... I recommend them to everyone who wears glasses. I'm fixing to get them for my daughter this year for the 1st time.

Thanks for the review! I too am sensitive to light and also, I have a complicated, strong prescription that includes prism in my lenses for diplopia. I have progressive lenses with the Gen8 grey that I like, but am looking forward to trying the Xtractive. Im waiting for my over-contact prism prescription sunglass lenses to arrive, bc driving is real tough from glare and sunlight. By the end of my day, my eyes get super fatigued and I don't think some people with 'regular' bad vision understand what that is like. Anyway, thanks for what you do!!

@Skycania 2 года назад

You've done well with the comparisons here doc, we haven't even heard from the reps but have been selling this for a few months. When it comes to the residual tint when indoors we like to call it "taking the edge off" and it gets around most peoples hesitation.

@DoctorEyeHealth 2 года назад

Ah! that is a good way to say it! I find it very subtle and always expected it to be darker. If anything I am impressed by how clear the lenses are indoors.

@darrenelkins5923 Год назад

@@DoctorEyeHealth good for wathing tv? to take the edge off for light sensitive eyes? are the polarised any good for that or not recommended for tv? thanks

@tiggy4591 10 месяцев назад

@@darrenelkins5923 Its been 3 months, so I don't know if you are still searching for an answer. Transitions XTRActive Polarized are not supposed to have the polarized effect when not exposed to UV rays. Which should make them fine for watching TV. Though if they some residual polarization, you will get varying brightness of your screen as your head tilts. Though this will likely impact using your smartphone(if you have one) outdoors.

@NormanF62 2 года назад

The Transitions Drivewear speciality lens was what people in the past bought specifically for driving bur the new XtrActive for the first offers a photochromic solution people can now wear anywhere. Its a perfect all round line and I think if it would get a little darker it would be spot on for most people but it still does the job. I have dedicated sunglasses but they’re good to have when you forget them and when I bought mine last year I was happy with the product. Essilor’s lenses are highly regarded.

@macraghnaill3553 Месяц назад

Glad I saw this video about the Xtractive Transitions as I am about to order a new pair of glasses. As a [very] long time wearer of photocromic glasses I can confirm that once you are used to wearing them you don't notice the change in light to dark and back again, photochromic glasses have always had the light tint when clear, again not noticeable Today I tested 4 pair of photochromic glasses with the modern plastic lens against and old pair from the mid 90s with glass lens, the glass lens went darker

@markoshun 2 года назад

Great info, thanks. My request would be opposite, for custom option for ‘less’ dark. I rarely need full dark sunglasses. A level 2 would probably suit me best and have the added advantage of a quicker response time, which is more important to me for regular day to day, in and out of cars and buildings working, etc., and in sun and cloud.

@kevinho8442 2 года назад

I have just ordered a pair of progressive prescription glasses with Transitions Xtractive Polarised lenses. Also getting anti glare coating. I am sick of having to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses when out & about, so I have my fingers crossed that my new glasses will replace both of my old glasses. Average summer temperatures in the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia are around 28 degrees C (82 degrees F), so it will be interesting to see how dark these glasses get at higher temperatures. Can't wait to get my hands on my new glasses! Follow Up: Well, it took just a week from the order date to get the glasses! Only picked them up a couple of days ago & the weather has been very overcast, windy with lots of rain on the first day. Today is much better with bright sunshine, some clouds & about 27 degrees C. The actual changes in lens darkness, going from indoors to outdoors is not really noticeable from the wearer's point of view (Of course, our eyes compensate for brightness changes automatically, within limits). Same applies going from outside to indoors. This, in my opinion is the way it should be, unobtrusive technology! My new glasses, compared to my 12 month old prescription clear, anti glare coated glasses, have more contrast (yielding more detail/sharpness in bright scenes) & also more color saturation. This reminds me of the difference between a photo straight out of a camera side by side with the same photo that has been processed in Photoshop (with increased contrast, saturation & sharpening). So far, I am happy with new Transitions Xtracive polarised glasses. I still prefer my old clear glasses , when indoors & especially when working on the computer.

I have no idea if you'll see this, since it's at least a year later, but I'm curious about whether you still like these lenses. Is the permanent indoor tint really noticeable?

Good video. You mentioned XtraActive Polarized lenses in the beginning but you never commented on how good the polarization was in comparison to typical polarized glasses. From your quick showing in the video, it appears to confirm my experience that the XtraActive Polarized lenses are woefully poor at polarization. A typical polarized lens would have made the laptop screen completely dark. The added expense to make XtraActive Polarized, seems like a non starter. Thoughts?

@wendym1234 Год назад

Interesting. I ordered these and I’ll see how they work in NJ and when I go away to Aruba, where temps can be high. Recently when I came with regular prescription sunglasses into a Chinese take-out restaurant I found myself struggling to see the menu and had to search for my regular prescription as I have poor vision. I’m getting older too and need more light to see small print in general. So I’ll have to see how the time-lag of it turning from sunglasses affects me. I can be more patient than some though, even in fast paced NJ, so if it’s waiting a minute longer it’s not that big a deal. But 4-5 mins maybe too long a lag time.

@BlackBeltGamers88 2 года назад

@chrislee6650 Год назад

Just got some New Generation Xtractive lenses in Brown . In a bright conservatory I tested them sat on a white bit of paper and they start changing instantly, you can visually see them darkening. When wearing them from indoors to outdoors, they get a very nice sunglass dark even on just a bright overcast day in a matter of seconds, this is summer in the UK. I like the fact they change quick enough that I can see that change when looking through them as I step outside and so I feel the benefit really quickly without too long of being blinded by bright light. What was different to the original Xtractive I had before is that on coming indoors, I can visually tell they are getting lighter as well, it happens fast enough now to perceive it. With the original Xtractive lenses they take long enough to fade back you feel like you've been wearing sunglasses inside for too long. The new generation is faster at fading back, certainly at warmer temperatures and much more quickly get to the point of being light enough I don't feel like I'm wearing sunglasses anymore, or look like I'm wearing them indoors. Can't say I notice much of tint when they are faded back. I think a lot of the time a slight tint is visible indoors is because they are easily activated by visible light, so they take on a very slight tint quite easily.

Chris, thank you so much for sharing your experience here for others! I'm glad the transition indoors is better for you as well.

I used to get light reactive lenses for about 13 years but it effected my vision on dull days. They used to go dark on cloudy days and I had slight difficulty seeing at a distance In fact it kind of made me slightly disorientated. Like you I'm light sensitive too and on a sunny day without sunglasses I get a headache and sometimes it causes me to see purple and green spots in my eyes for up to an hour after going indoors so I must wear sunglasses. At night I use battery powered candles to light the rooms in my house but use the light if I need to and I reduce the brightness of my TV at night.

Mine were ordered yesterday. My old pair are dark-tinted all the time (permanent). They are great; however, for driving at night, it is difficult to see clearly as everything around me is darker. Hopefully, the new pair will help with that. Also, I like that the new one has a polarizing filter built into them, which will help with light glare and reflection. Hate driving a low vehicle (sedan) while everyone is blaring their high beam on their SUV into my face.

Exactly why I’m looking into these lenses, and I don’t even prescription glasses

@mguti179 11 месяцев назад

Update? How do you like the Xtravtive ones? I got glasses for the first time in my life, they came with Gen8 and they are terrible as sunglasses. Hoping to order Xtractive so I can wear them inside and as sunglasses. Do they work well?

@GothicDragonX 11 месяцев назад

@@mguti179 Yes, I really like the Xtractive glasses. They definitely get darker than the Gen8 lenses. Outdoors, they can pass as sunglasses and remain dark for a few minutes even when I'm indoors (around 5 minutes or so). However, it's important to note that they don't get as dark as dedicated sunglasses. To give you an idea, they are similar to having 20% tinted car windows from someone trying to look inside. When I look through them, it feels like a 50% to 60% tint from my point of view. They are not as dark as dedicated sunglasses, but they are darker than the Gen8 transition glasses. Unfortunately, they don't get dark enough when I'm in the vehicle, especially since the windshield already has UV protection. They do darken slightly, giving a smoky grey tone. When I look downward past the glass, I can notice the tint, and it enhances the vibrancy of everything while still reducing brightness and washout. However, they may not be dark enough to fully replace proper sunglasses for a sunny drive, especially if you're highly sensitive to sunlight. For most people, the Xtractive glasses are awesome. If you enjoy walking around town, they work very well as sunglasses. When it comes to driving, they are functional, but personally, I prefer dedicated sunglasses unless you have tinted windows on your vehicle already in that case they are great.

Excellent video, thanks. Are Transitions lenses darker in thicker lenses (i.e. stronger prescriptions). My prescription is -8 in one eye and -10 in the other. Opticians have recommended that I not get Transitions lenses because they will be too dark and take too long to lighten up on cold winter days (north of Minnesota). Thank you.

@vicki7748 2 года назад

Would you recommend Crizal Sapphire 360 or Rock AR with Transitions XtraActive? Also, I'm assuming the tint indoors is just that... a very light gray tint (assuming I select gray). I wear prisms and have had posterior vitreous retinal detachments and am extremely sensitive to any reflective glare, esp in dark situations. Thank You!

Could you also review the “Mirror” versions that reflect back light (like a mirror)

@henry0513 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, does this new transition lense works with bi-focal? its so complicated to look for the right lenses. lol

@shermanchandler4432 2 года назад

I’d love to hear you make a video on the differentials of photophobia. Many of us are light sensitive, so an explanation would help.

@DoctorEyeHealth 2 года назад

That’s a good idea! I have read some good studies on it.

@lauriemichaelhoward1698 Год назад

Yes! I would love that too!

@@DoctorEyeHealth I haven't seen a video on this, but I'd love to see some studies on the differentials of photophobia if you have them off hand. Thanks!

@christinelombardi4854 2 года назад

I will NEVER have anything else on my lenses. The transition is dark and it’s funny that the lens is dark indoors but one really doesn’t notice on the vision side! Great selling point! I keep wear overs in my truck for sun emergencies. XActive IS THE BEST!!! I tried sapphire transition and cannot even wear outside 😒. And the sapphire really doesn’t look blue. Thanks 😊

@DoctorEyeHealth 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip about the sapphire. I know the mirrors are popular but I have always kind of had doubts. I imagine I may try them some day

@triniphotofan5142 8 месяцев назад

You are right, regretted my sapphire purchase, barely any blue in that lens.

I work for an Essilor optical lab and I've seen the changes in transition lenses over the years and I just got the Progressive XtrActive New Generation lenses. I think the advancement in the technology is awesome. They really transition better than the transition 8 which was geared more towards temperature than light. Usually in the morning when driving east to work and driving west going home from work, I've had had to use my mirrored eyeglasses which has a polarized lens behind it to block the sun's glare. Now, I can rely on my XtrActive lenses to block the glare without having to use my mirrored glasses. The cost is expensive but worth it and as an employee I get one free pair each year and 50% for each additional pair. Also keep in mind your expensive is partly due to your Optometrists' markup.😎🤓

Hi Andre, I get my glasses from Eyebuydirect which is owned from Essilor. The price for the xtra active starts at $140. Do you think that this price is expensive or normal? I wen to a local store and they gave me $250 for the lenses only. How is that possible? It is significant amount of money difference.

@georgekbaby Год назад

Is this lens polarized. Is it necessary

@attackerjfjfjhghgh Год назад

@@georgekbaby Yes. It is designed to be polarized. You can also get the Style Mirror in several colors. Transitions the same way. Except it changes to mirror.

@@attackerjfjfjhghgh thank you

Also these shops charge extra for additional protective layers like UV filter, while these XtrActives already have these filters built in? 5:05

@churchofmarcus 11 месяцев назад

Heat just kills the darkness on my Transition Raybans. Apparent Xtra active was not available with 1.67 lenses. Hopefully, in two years, when I go back, they'll be available.
