The Worldwide Leader In Photochromic Eyeglass
Transitions Optical, Inc. – the worldwide leader in photochromic eyeglass lenses that adjust automatically to different lighting conditions – announces they have introduced a new, faster-changing lens that becomes clear indoors in less than half the time it takes for the tint in previous photochromic lenses to fade.
The new lens – Transitions(R) V lenses with ESP(TM) – is available in lightweight, shatter-resistant polycarbonate and Trivex(R) lens materials and in high index plastic materials, including ultra-thin 1.67 high index plastic lenses offered by lens manufacturers Essilor, Sola and Seiko.
According to Transitions Optical: Transitions V lenses with ESP fade back (become clear) indoors over twice as fast as the eye glassescompany’s previous product. The new lenses are compatible with all major anti-reflective (AR) coatings for glare-free comfort day and night. The company also says surveys of eyecare professionals and consumers indicate:
8 out of 10 eyecare professionals would recommend Transitions V Lenses with ESP to their patients.
83% of consumers prefer Transitions V Lenses with ESP to clear lenses.
As we age, we eventually lose our ability to focus on near objects. This loss of focusing ability – called Presbyopia – usually becomes apparent when we reach our cheap eyeglassesmid-forties. If you already wear eyeglasses when presbyopia occurs, your eye doctor will prescribe multifocal lenses to correct your vision. Multifocal lenses have different powers in different parts of the lens to enable you to again see clearly at all distances. Examples of multifocal lenses include bifocals, trifocals, and progressive (“no-line”) lenses.
Though conventional Bifocal lenses have an unattractive line that separates the distance and near powers in the lens, they provide a wider reading area than Progressive lenses. Bifocal lenses are also free of peripheral distortions that are present in progressive lenses. (Though these distortions are mild, they can make progressive lenses uncomfortable for some people.)
Essilor International claims it has resolved these issues with the eye glassesintroduction of Varilux Liberty(TM) – a new progressive lens designed to feel and perform more like a conventional bifocal lens than other no-line lenses.
With its Instant Reading Power(TM) technology, Varilux Liberty(TM) provides a wide, well-positioned reading area and a quicker transition between the cheap eye glassesdistance power and near power of the lens for the most comfortable reading performance possible, according to the company.
