An optometrist can give you advice on the many different types of features that are now available when someone needs to buy new glasses, including transition lenses. Today’s optical technologies allow for many different features, which makes wearing eyeglasses easier and more convenient than ever. Ready to learn more about transition lenses, also known as photochromic lenses?
Learning about transition lenses, as well as new eyeglass choices, should come from an optometrist. Optometrists are eye care professionals who will thoroughly examine a patient’s eyes and if glasses are needed to improve one’s vision, any questions the patient might have should be asked at that time. Patients will need to wear the new glasses for at least one year or until the next optometry appointment. This makes it essential to find a pair of new glasses that contain all of the features that patients want to benefit from. When buying new glasses with transition lenses, people will only have to carry around one pair of glasses.
The following is a list of the pros and cons that come with choosing transition lenses when in need of new glasses.
The fact that transition lenses automatically change when someone goes inside a home or building or outside makes this eyeglass feature extremely convenient. This automatic change makes it easy for wearers to protect the eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.
Glasses with transition lenses automatically turn into sunglasses when going outside. Therefore, there is no need for someone to wear sunglasses anymore. Wearers can simply walk outside and not think twice about the need to wear sunglasses, as the transition lenses automatically change into sunglasses when walking outside. This can potentially save someone lots of money as it is no longer necessary to buy sunglasses.
Transition lenses can be added to a number of different styles of glasses. That means wearers do not have to choose from a small selection of styles in order to receive the benefits. Patients are encouraged to discuss their transition lens options with an experienced optometrist. The optometrist should be more than willing to help a patient find the right style, shade and tint.
The level of darkness will depend on the brand chosen to make the transition lenses. This will also determine the overall reaction times for the glasses to change. Patients who are concerned about the level of darkness and/or the time it takes for the transition lenses to change are encouraged to discuss their concerns with the optometrist.
Transition lenses are directly affected when the weather is colder, which means it will take longer for the lenses to change. This slower change does not pose an issue for most people. However, some people do not like the fact that it takes longer for the lenses to adjust when the weather is cold.
