Should you BUY Transitions lenses in 2024? 

Nice choice!

😅 I love that they are inspiring you

You are so welcome!

@@mohammedparacha7029 how was your expeeience !?

Happy to help!

That's a point I really should have made - that they are temperature sensitive. I did discuss that previously here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oKfIhUrOGBs.htmlsi=osjnh5MsnaU6e6wI

Thanks for that!

it’s the reasons why you see the pictures of truck drivers with wrinkles worse on one side of their face, as encouragement to wear broad spectrum sunscreen!

Thanks. That's exactly what this channel is for

I already did! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oKfIhUrOGBs.htmlsi=osjnh5MsnaU6e6wI

Have you tried online retailers?

@@TheHi-T yes I’ve been looking into online retailers.😃

Definitely PFX!

Blue.?pfx's blue much more vibrant, cool and nice to be seen by others compare to the transition's sapphire..to me the sapphire got hints of grey tone in it..but if u're talking about which one is darker I would say the transition at about 5-10% darker than pfx blue..just my 2 cents..

Yeah!

Yes sure am -8 but I have them😮

@@zawadix9574 Ooh nice, thanks for letting me know!

Yes, as mentioned in the video 👍

Very nice!

A tint isn't illegal for driving anywhere in the world.

@@thespectaclefactory It was in an article I came across a few years ago. it stuck with me because I have had tinted photochromic lenses.I thought that maybe the lenses became too dark for night driving. I did drive at night whilst wearing mine without any problems

Did u try hoya sensity2 ?

@@STR-ENGNR I didn’t end up getting them in my glasses, but I have seen an oceanic blue lens Sensity 2 blank in person from my optometrist! Thankfully, they ended up letting me time them and although they darkened relatively fast, it took around 5-7 minutes to transition back to clear. In all honesty, I would compare them more closely to the Transitions Generation 7 lenses in performance. In some ways, it was a bummer because I liked the color a lot!! I also found that they hold a little more tint indoors than what Transitions do, closer to an Xtractive lens. With that said, I ordered the Gen S lenses since they claim to reach clear in approximately 2 minutes or less and have improved hues among their style color lenses. The biggest deciding factor for me personally was that the outgoing Generation 8 lenses are already faster than the Sensity 2, so I’d be downgrading from what I had 😁

@@nobothehoboyt in your opinion translation gen 8 desereve the money ?!

@@STR-ENGNR I would say so!! I just got to take a peek at the Sensity 2 lenses again and they took over 12 minutes to fully lose their tint, so I would take the Gen 8 or Gen S lenses over them any day! 😁

...have both in one! Best 24h a day solution for me without ever stop moving!

@@ELISAFLORIDIA-x4c I do a lot of driving - currently have prescription sunglasses but like the idea of the JF Rey clips

Pros and cons of both

😉

Thanks for sharing!

Try to avoid the (useless) "blue light filter" on your indoor lenses - only that way you will have 99% natural colour vision. Photochromics are great for when we aren't at home/indoors, and, well, mostly good indoors.

Thanks for your support!

Thank you! I won't

Stay tuned...

I've got the same question, can't find an answer anywhere.

@@zoomx4760 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-euZCiq8-WoM.html

Around 12% residual tint - definitely less than Xtractive

Thanks for the tip 👍

@@thespectaclefactory No problem I’ve learned a lot from your channel. I had a pair of Ray Ban’s ordered. Now I have 2 pairs of Barton Perreira’s.

🙏

Hmmm, don't think there's a way around that

They are both really good. You can always order Maui Jim sunglasses in prescription through us

Thank you!!

Yeah, we can do it! Email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com

I did the appointment and ended up getting two pairs, one was Nike FreeFly with clear lenses and sunglasses. Also got Lucas de Stael with 25% blue tint for aesthetics. I have a third pair he’s working on making which is Alvar with sweet violet tint at 25%. Prior to Robert I never bought glasses from outside my home country. I recommend you start with an appointment and discuss your concerns and go from there. I don’t regret my purchases at all. Very satisfied with his work and plan to use him whenever I need more eyewear.

If your on a budget I was able to send my frames to his shop in UK and then u just pay for the lenses and its shipped back for free. 400 uk pounds for custom lenses with photochromic, tint and flash coating. Not sure what pricing for glass would be but worth asking about

@@topspin1715 I have no doubt that The Spectacle Factory is the best in the industry. ♥

@@strictlykev311 ♥

I'm on a budget, so I buy online from ZENNI. These videos allowed me to know there are so many color options that ZENNI has.

Photochromic covers the whole spectrum of lenses that darken with UV light, photofusion is the name Zeiss uses for their version of photochromic lenses. Likewise Transitions is the name used by essilor for their photochromics.

Correct!

In this video u are wearing photofusionX ?​@@thespectaclefactory

I plan on getting two pairs of glasses, both progressives. One pair with clear anti-reflective glass for indoor precise details at home. The other pair with Zeiss PhotoFusion and 40% green gradient. The bottom will be clear for when reading on the subway and the robust polymer material is for outdoor use like cycling. Seems to me if you just want one pair of glasses, get the Photofusion with no tint. Robert is the expert though. Good luck.

Yes, the lens reduces sunlight into your eyes, which is a good thing for your eye health. That's the purpose of this technology.

@@thespectaclefactory okay. Thanks for the response. But i wear them all day and sometimes wonder if need to take them off to get optimal amount of sunlight (in context of optimising sunlight exposure for proper circadian rhythm)

@@prithvij9411it’s tough, my sleep doctor tells me not to constantly wear sunglasses (he is at least happy that i do not have “blue light blocking” lenses) for my circadian rhythm disorder , but my eye doctor says to wear them to prevent sun damage! i think the quality of the natural light matters most… can still protect from uv rays, and being outside in sunlight with sunnies on is waaaay different from being indoors under artificial light

And I can't wait for you to get them!

Only the xtractive have a slight tint all the time. Transitions gen 8 or gen z now go completely clear indoors.

I just got a new pair of glasses about a month ago and can confirm they do go clear. I've been wearing transitions for years and the newer versions are better. That being said, as the video states, they are not a replacement for sunglasses. The newest version that I have in a standard gray does not get as dark as a cheap pair of sunglasses off of the shelf. That's why having a prescription pair is nice for really sunny days.

@@brent942 I'm glad I ordered the xtractive in that case, not sure I would like my lenses to not be slightly tinted indoors after 50 years of photochromic indoor tinted lenses

Check this video to see how clear PhotoFusion is indoors: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yoNiUB7zNQg.htmlsi=YaaQE6sPNp_tpyZ4

​@@agnesolsvikare yours photofusion x or trans xtractive ?
