Photochromic lenses are mostly used by people who are mainly exposed to the UV rays of the sun. The color of the lenses changes from light to dark depending upon its exposure to the sun. Previously one could choose only among glass lenses but today one can even choose from plastic lenses. There are various names given to these Photochromic lenses such as Transitions, Reactolite, Reactions and even known as Graduations. But in totality these lenses are known as photo chromic lenses. But the name Transition is a brand name of the photochromic lenses. The photochromic lenses from Transition are the most advanced lenses but there are many lenses available in the markets which are also very advanced in technology. The photochromic lenses are made for the protection of your eyes from the UV rays of the sun and practically clear. These lenses can produce a tint effect depending upon the amount of UV rays falling on them. The tint effect is more on a bright sunny day as the UV rays present is more and similarly on a dull day these photochromic lenses can change its color to a pale tint as the UV rays present is not much. Again when you come back to your house and you are inside then these lenses again become clear. The basic idea behind these photochromic lenses are that they should provide protection against the harmful UV rays of the sun and also from the changing effect of the sunlight. But you should remember that while you are outside the car these lenses tend to tint more whereas when you are inside the car the tinted effect is not much as the windscreen of the car does provide UV protection.
The two most popular types of photochromic lenses are Transition lenses and Reactolite lenses. Transition lenses are available in various forms such as in Standard Plastic, Poly Carbonate, 1.6 and 1.67 lenses. These lenses are made from very advanced technology and are the very fast to react to the UV rays of the sun. They take not more than 30 seconds to react and it is within this short span of time that they even get clear. Reactolite is another brand name of glass photochromic lenses. These lenses take a longer time than the transition lenses to react and are much heavier than those lenses. But the plus point of these lenses is that they are much more effective when someone is driving a car. But most of the time it is seen that transition lenses are much widely used as the comfort provided by these lenses is immense.

Transition Lenses
Transitions is actually a brand name of a Photocromic Lens. Although transitions are probably the most advanced photochromic lens on the market there are many others out there.
People call Photochromic lenses by all different kinds of names such as Transitions, and I’ve even heard them called Graduations. However, they are all Photo chromic lenses.
Photochromic lenses are clear lenses that react with UV and produce a tint effect based on the amount of UV present.
When wearing Photochromic lenses even a dull day some reaction will occur producing a very pale tint and then on a very bright day where more UV is present they will turn quite dark. When wearing them indoors they will become clear.
The idea behind photochromic lenses is that they will provide the correct amount of protection for the varying light conditions you experience. However, when driving, your car windscreen will block a certain amount of UV which is required to make the lens react so they will not work as well as they would outside of the car.
Transitions Lenses
Transitions are available in Standard Plastic, Poly Carbonate, 1.6 and 1.67 Lenses. They are the fastest reacting lens on the market and will react into sunglasses within 30 seconds. However, they will take longer than that to go clear again when you go inside.
In most cases the Transitions lens is the preferred option due to the over all comfort and performance.
Photocromic lenses are ideal in the sense that they can save you having to purchase two pairs of glasses ie, Clear glasses and a pair of Sunglasses.

The hole in the ozone layer is growing bigger. Melting polar ice caps aside, it’s getting hotter and brighter all around. A person becomes hard pressed to protect oneself and one’s family from the harmful effects of the oppressive sun. Our entire bodies are vulnerable, but no body part is more vulnerable to high temperatures and direct contact with sunlight as our eyes. There are a couple of great ways to protect your eyes, such as eyedrops, visors, and of course - transition sunglasses.
Sunglasses are a staple wardrobe in sunny weather, of course, but why transition sunglasses especially? What are the additional benefits that places them a cut above other kinds of shades? Are they, in fact, better than other types of sunglasses? Actually, they are just one kind of sunglasses, with a twist - you can use them indoors and outdoors without sacrificing much of your clarity of vision.
You must have heard the song, or at least the phrase, “I wear my sunglasses at night.” In spite of the kitsch, this phrase may well have a grain of truth in it. You can, in fact, wear sunglasses at night if they happen to be transition. The term “transition” refers to the specially crafted lenses that diffuse light. This quality of the lenses allows them to regulate and equalize the amount of light that reaches your eyes, making sure your eyes aren’t strained by the glare of the lighting, in case you are outdoors or in a very well-lit indoor environment. Regarding nighttime or dimly-lit rooms, however, these special lenses do not exactly equalize the light in the room. Rather, it tones down its anti-glare properties, and enables you to see better than if you were using regular dark-tinted shades.
Sounds like magic, doesn’t it? For the kind of glare protection allowed by shades like these, they are well worth the price you pay. Indeed, transition sunglasses tend to be slightly more expensive than regular shades. But unlike other kinds of sunglasses, they can be used in a wider variety of situations and settings. And if they happen to come with wraparound frames that fit snugly on your face and physically keep your eyes safe from direct exposure to irritant lighting. This problem with the ozone layer may continue to affect us for a long time, worsening with each year, if nothing is done about it. In the meantime, it is best to be conscious about your surroundings and your health.
