Xperio UV™ Lenses Polarized Prescription Sunglasses: The best way to clean your lenses is by first rinsing your lenses under warm running water to remove any sandy/gritty debris, clean with a mild liquid dishwashing soap to remove facial oils, rinse with water, and then dry with a soft cotton cloth. Finish by polishing your lenses with the microfiber Xperio UV polarized sun lenses cleaning cloth provided to you. You can also use the Xperio UV polarized sun lenses cloth for touch-up cleaning throughout the day when it is not convenient to wash the lenses. The super hydrophobic properties of Xperio UV polarized sun lenses facilitate the removal of smudges, dust, dirt, and fingerprints easily.

Transitions^® Light Intelligent Lenses™: Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses can be cleaned like most lenses—with a lens cleaner, mild soap, or a microfiber lens cleaning cloth. Do not use window cleaner to clean your prescription eyeglasses, as it contains chemicals that could break down the coatings on your lenses. You should also be careful not to wipe your lenses with a surface that could potentially scratch your lenses, for instance, a facial tissue or paper towel.

Varilux^® Progressive Lenses: The best way to clean your lenses is by first rinsing your lenses under warm running water to remove any sandy/gritty debris, clean with a mild liquid dishwashing soap to remove facial oils, rinse with water, and then dry with a soft cotton cloth. Finish by polishing your lenses with a microfiber cleaning cloth. You can also use a cleaning cloth for touch-up cleaning throughout the day when it is not convenient to wash the lenses. And while your lenses usually incorporate a scratch-resistant coating, you should always store them in a case as a precaution. Avoid exposing your lenses to excessive heat and temperatures for long periods (like on your car's dashboard, for instance).

Crizal^® No-Glare Lenses:

1.  Rinse lenses under warm running water to remove any sandy/gritty debris.


2.  Clean with a mild liquid dishwashing soap to remove facial oils.


3.  Rinse with water.


4.  Dry with a soft cotton cloth.


5.  Polish your lenses with the microfiber Crizal lenses cleaning cloth provided to you.

You can also use the Crizal lenses cloth for touch-up cleaning throughout the day when it is not convenient to wash your lenses. While the hydrophobic properties of Crizal No-Glare lenses facilitate the removal of smudges, dust, dirt, and fingerprints more easily, the smudges and fingerprints may appear more visible on Crizal No-Glare lenses than on an uncoated lens. Watch a video on how to clean your Crizal No-Glare lenses.

Additional cleaning cloths can be purchased on this website or at any optical shop. Ask your eyecare professional about purchasing additional cleaning cloths, if needed.

Cleaning cloths can be washed on the gentle cycle in the washer or hand-washed. We recommend that you do not use any laundry additives (such as fabric softener), which could leave a residue on the cloth.

Occasional use of alcohol on Crizal No-Glare lenses will not be harmful. However, we do not recommend continuous, daily use.

If you are not able to remove hair spray or paint using the cleaning recommendations found above, we suggest taking your lenses to your eyecare professional for assistance.

Any commercially prepared lens cleaner formulated to be used with anti-reflective lenses can be used.

It is not advisable to store glasses/sunglasses in your automobile (e.g., leaving them on the dashboard of your car), especially in warmer climates. It is potentially damaging to the lenses and to the frame.

To better understand the effects of UV radiation on the eyes, it is helpful to know a little more about UV light. Visible light represents just a small portion of the light spectrum. On either side of the visible light spectrum are long-wavelength radiations (infrared) and short-wavelength radiations (UV). While infrared rays are relatively harmless, UV rays can pose serious risks to a person’s overall health and eye health.

Sunlight consists of two types of harmful rays: UVA rays and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin—leading to signs of premature aging such as wrinkling or age spots. UVB rays are the sun’s burning rays and are the primary cause of sunburn.

Excessive UV exposure is dangerous for eyes as well as your skin. It can lead to a number of serious, sight-stealing diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration down the road, making ongoing protection from UV rays a must.

Glare can be described as “extreme brightness” from the presence of excessive visible light. Glare can be distracting and even dangerous and can occur day or night in a number of ways. It can cause you to squint, resulting in eye strain and eye fatigue. In extreme cases, glare can even result in temporary blindness.

There are four types of glare to be aware of:

Distracting glare

Distracting glare can be caused by car headlights or streetlights at night. It can also be as simple as light being reflected off the front of your lenses, making it difficult for others to see your eyes. Similarly, it may be from light reflected off the back—or inside—of your lenses so that you see the distracting reflection of your own eyes or objects behind you in your forward field of vision. As a result, this kind of glare may cause eye fatigue, annoyance, and distraction.

Discomforting glare

Glare can be caused by everyday, normal sunlight conditions. Depending upon one’s light sensitivity, this glare can be discomforting regardless of weather or time of day. It can be present in any level or intensity of light, or when moving from one lighting condition to another. Discomforting glare often causes squinting and eye fatigue.

Disabling glare

This type of glare comes from excessive, intense light that can occur when you face directly into the sun. Disabling glare can block vision because the intense light can cause significantly reduced contrast of the retinal image. The latent effects can last well beyond the time of exposure.

Blinding or reflected glare

This comes from light reflected off smooth, shiny surfaces such as water, sand, or snow. It can be strong enough to block vision. Reflected light is polarized and requires polarized lenses to reduce it optimally.

Transitions^® Light Intelligent Lenses™ with anti-reflective coating block distracting, discomforting, and disabling glare. For additional protection against blinding or reflected glare, try our new Transitions^® Vantage^® Light Intelligent lenses.

Our eyes are sensitive to visible light, which is actually a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Blue light is one section within the visible light spectrum, actually covering blue and violet.

The visible light spectrum includes every color of the rainbow, and each color spans a different range of wavelengths within that spectrum. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.

The main sources of blue light are:

• The sun (the most intense source of blue light)


• LED lights and compact fluorescent lamps


• Digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, and some TVs


• Metal halide lights, found mostly indoors in large commercial structures
  
  

Because blue-violet light is high-energy and close in frequency to ultraviolet (UV) light, which is known to be harmful, the consensus among the scientific community is that blue-violet light could potentially have negative effects on one’s health. For example, potential negative effects of blue light include age-related macular degeneration, poor sleep quality, and an increase of certain cancer risks.

However, some scientific literature and research also indicate that wavelengths in the “true” blue band (a different frequency than violet light) may have positive health benefits. For example, potential positive effects of blue light include improvement of visual acuity and depth of field and a lessening of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression associated with cooler seasons, which is thought to be caused by lack of exposure to light.

Essentially, while blue light is important and a necessary part of the way we see, too much of it (especially the type closest to UV) could be bad for your health, so it’s important to protect your eyes.

Sunlight is the primary source of ultraviolet radiation. UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure.

UV damage is cumulative and is often irreversible. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can damage the eye. UV light can increase the risks of certain eye conditions and diseases, such as UV-related cataracts, growths on the eye, and even certain skin cancers on the eyelids or around the eye.

Sun damage to the eyes can occur any time during the year, not just in the summer, so it is essential to wear UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats whenever you're outside. Xperio UV™ polarized prescription sunglasses offer the maximum level of protection against the invisible and often irreversible dangers of UV light on both sides of the lens. Xperio UV polarized prescription sunglasses have an E-SPF^® index of 50+. E-SPF 50 is the highest level of UV protection offered within the E-SPF index. The higher the E-SPF index, the greater the level of UV protection provided by the lens. 

The sun's rays can pass through haze and thin clouds, so be sure to wear UV-blocking sunglasses before going outside during cloudy weather.

Do not look directly at the sun. Looking directly at the sun at any time, including during an eclipse, can lead to damage to the eye's retina from solar radiation.

UV damage can happen at any age. Protect the eyes of children as well as seniors with hats and sunglasses.

Premature signs of aging, skin cancer, eye disease, wrinkles, and photokeratitis.

Over 40% of annual UV exposure is received during conditions when people are not in full sunlight and are less likely to wear protection. Complete UV protection on your sunglass lenses can help protect the long-term health of your eyes.

UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure. The back surface of ordinary sunglass lenses has been found to reflect light coming from the back and sides of the lens, increasing UV light exposure to the eyes. Some sunglasses and clear lenses made with higher-quality materials block UV light from transmitting through the front of the lens, but they do not address the UV light reflecting off the back side of the lens.

E-SPF is an index rating the overall UV protection of a lens. E-SPF was developed by Essilor International and endorsed by third-party experts. The E-SPF index relates to lens performance only and excludes direct eye exposure that depends on external factors (wearer’s morphology, frame shape, position of wear). E-SPF 50 is the highest level of UV protection provided by the lens

Prescription sunglasses provide protection from the sun and glare and help people see clearly outdoors. Sunglasses can accommodate virtually any type of lens prescription, including progressive prescriptions for people with presbyopia. They are available in a variety of styles and materials. Prescription sunglasses provide clear vision with the added benefit of protection against UV rays. Prescription sunglasses make participating in outdoor activities much easier and safer for your eyes.

Your eyesight and vision are critical to your overall health and well-being. It is recommended that you have a comprehensive eye exam annually and consult your eyecare professional on the best lens option for you.

Presbyopia is an unavoidable age-related process that begins to gradually affect vision, usually after age 40. If you experience any of the situations below, you may be presbyopic, and it’s time to consult an eyecare professional for a comprehensive eye exam:

• You experience blurred vision when reading up close


• You find yourself holding reading material at arm's length


• You have trouble seeing in dim lighting, like reading a menu in a dark restaurant


• You experience eye strain, tired eyes, or headaches

Varilux^® progressive lenses are available in a variety of different lens materials that will reduce both thickness and weight. Your eyecare professional will consider prescription, frame size, and your individual lifestyle when helping you decide which lens material will be best for you.

We work with multiple lab and lens manufacturing partners to offer the widest availability of lenses. Individual practices and retail outlets determine the price of finished lenses—including applicable promotions or discounts—so prices may vary.

Each patient's prescription and lens needs should be evaluated in person with an eyecare professional for appropriate lens recommendations and fittings to be made.

Warranties on Varilux progressive lenses may vary among eyecare professionals. It is important to understand warranties available to you from the eyecare professional you plan to purchase your lenses from. Before you purchase your lenses, be sure to ask about the specifics of warranty coverage.

No, Varilux progressive lenses can fit virtually any frame size and shape. Your eyecare professional will assist you with selecting an appropriate frame for your prescription and fitting needs.

Your eyecare professional is an excellent source of information about Varilux progressive lenses and their specific applications to your individual prescription and lifestyle. If you have not done so within the last year, Essilor recommends having a comprehensive eye exam prior to ordering your new Varilux progressive lenses. 

The best way to clean your lenses is by first rinsing them under warm running water to remove any sandy/gritty debris, clean with a mild liquid dishwashing soap to remove facial oils, rinse with water, and then dry with a soft cotton cloth. Finish by polishing your lenses with a microfiber cleaning cloth. You can also use a cleaning cloth for touch-up cleaning throughout the day when it is not convenient to wash the lenses. And while your lenses usually incorporate a scratch-resistant coating, you should always store them in a case as a precaution. Avoid exposing your lenses to excessive heat and temperatures for long periods (like on your car's dashboard, for instance).

Most people will enjoy their Varilux progressive lenses right away, while others may take a bit longer to become completely comfortable. Let your eyecare professional know if your adjustment period is longer than two weeks, as a “fine-tuning” frame adjustment may be all that’s necessary.

Yes. Progressive lenses will introduce some changes to your peripheral vision due to power changes that occur in the periphery of the lenses. You may feel an initial difference in your peripheral vision that may require some slight changes in horizontal head and eye movements. Sensitivity to this area of the lens will diminish as you become more accustomed to the lenses. Varilux^® X Series™ lenses with Xtend™ Technology significantly reduce this head movement and also feature Nanoptix™ Technology, which further reduces distortion. 

To adjust quickly and comfortably:

• Start wearing your new glasses immediately.


• Wear your new glasses continuously.


• Wear glasses as close to your face as possible.

For most, this period of adaptation will only last a few hours. Some people may require several days or even two weeks before becoming completely comfortable. If you have been wearing your lenses for two weeks or longer and feel uncomfortable with your vision in any way, contact your eyecare professional for an evaluation.

Yes, Crizal No-Glare lenses offer our most comprehensive daily protection against the invisible and often irreversible dangers of UV reflection.

UV is a form of light/radiation that is not visible to the human eye. Sunlight is the primary source of ultraviolet radiation. UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure.

UV damage is cumulative and often irreversible. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can increase the risk of certain eye conditions and diseases, such as UV-related cataracts, growths on the eye, and even certain skin cancers on the eyelids or around the eye area.

Premature signs of aging, skin cancer, eye disease, wrinkles, and dark circles.

Over 40% of annual UV exposure is received during conditions when people are not in full sunlight and are less likely to wear eye protection. Complete UV protection on your everyday clear lenses can help protect the long-term health of your eyes.

UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure. The back surface of everyday clear glasses has been found to reflect light coming from the back and sides of the lens, increasing UV light exposure to the eyes. Most sunglasses and clear lenses with higher-quality materials block UV light from transmitting through the front of the lens, but they do not address the UV light reflecting off the back side of the lens. Crizal No-Glare lenses provide protection against backside UV reflection. Ask your eyecare professional about the benefits of Crizal No-Glare lenses.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are the #1 eyecare professional recommended adaptive or photochromic lens worldwide. Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are equipped with patented, photochromic dyes that enable the lenses to rapidly activate, or darken, when they are exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet light. The greater the intensity of UV rays, the darker the lenses become. When UV light is no longer present, including indoors or at night, the lenses fade back to their original state. 

To meet the diverse needs of our consumers, we have different options of everyday lenses that can be worn indoors and outdoors all day long: Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses, Transitions^® XTRActive^® lenses, and Transitions^® Vantage^® lenses.

The technology that Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses utilizes is continuously improving. Transitions^® Signature^® lenses darken to just the right amount of tint outdoors depending on the light conditions, fade back to clear quickly, and are as clear as a clear lens indoors. 

In addition to Transitions Signature lenses, we have Transitions^® XTRActive^® lenses, which are uniquely designed to provide extra protection from light outdoors, indoors, and even in the car. It is our darkest everyday lens, even in the hottest climates. 

No, you do not need to worry. The technology behind our Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses ensures that the photochromic dyes are part of the lens and cannot be scratched off or peeled off and are designed to last for the life of your prescription. If you experience a problem with your lenses, we suggest you contact your eyecare professional or place of purchase.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are activated by UV light. The amount of UV light present will determine how dark your lenses get. This is what allows you to see life with just the right amount of light.

Extreme situations can sometimes cause your lenses to behave slightly differently. For instance, temperature can have an effect on the reaction time of adaptive lens technology. To learn more, visit Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses' technology page.

Original Transitions or Transitions^® Signature^® lenses are completely clear indoors.

Transitions^® XTRActive^® lenses and new Transitions^® Vantage^® lenses have a hint of tint indoors for additional protection from light.

Most wearers find they are satisfied with the level of outdoor darkness with Transitions^® Signature^® lenses. But if you spend a lot of time outdoors or behind the wheel, or find that your eyes are especially light-sensitive, you may prefer Transitions^® XTRActive^® lenses, our darkest everyday lenses ever. If you spend a lot of time outdoors near snow or water, we also offer Transitions^® Vantage^® lenses, which polarize as they darken and are ideal for situations where glare is present.

Adaptive lenses react to their environment, so the level of darkness is affected by extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and lens materials.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses darken immediately upon exposure to UV light. The level of darkness will depend on the amount of UV light present, time of day, and direction of the sun.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses begin to fade back to clear as soon as UV rays are no longer present.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are designed to last two years, which is generally the lifetime of your vision care prescription.

In order to keep your prescription lenses current, regular, comprehensive eye exams are recommended to determine any prescription changes and help prevent any other eye problems. Talk to your eyecare professional or eye doctor to find out how often you should schedule a visit to preserve your eye health.

Unlike clear lenses, which remain clear in all situations, Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses automatically adapt to changing light, providing your eyes with exactly the amount of shade they need for any situation, so you see things in the best light. They also protect your eyes from UV rays, and reduce exposure to Harmful Blue Light, both indoors from digital devices and outdoors from the sun. 

Unlike sunglasses, Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses start clear and then automatically darken when exposed to UV light. They continuously and smoothly adapt their levels of tint for enhanced visual comfort in changing lighting conditions, then return to clear in situations where no UV light is present, such as indoors and at night. Sunglasses have a set tint—no matter what situation you’re in, they’re always the same shade, and they’re rarely a good option indoors.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are an ideal everyday lens for almost all everyday situations. Sometimes there are situations in which sunglasses or polarized sunglasses are the best option, like when driving extensively or when you are out near the water. In those situations, we recommend wearing specialized sunwear. That’s why we offer Xperio UV™ polarized sun lenses.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses everyday lenses are designed to be worn all day, every day and they provide a comfortable level of shade in bright sun. However, there are times when you could benefit from sunglasses. That’s why we offer Xperio UV™ polarized sun lenses. 

Polarization filters bright sunlight that can cause glare so you can get better clarity. While Transitions^® Signature^® lenses and Transitions^® XTRActive^® lenses are not polarized, Transitions Vantage lenses do offer variable polarization.

Transitions Vantage lenses are the first adaptive lenses that allow for variable polarization. As Transitions Vantage lenses darken when exposed to light, they also polarize, creating sharper, crisper vision. This is an everyday lens option, which means they are virtually clear inside as well, so you can wear them as your regular lenses.

If you’re looking for more than an ordinary lens can offer, Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses lenses are right for you.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are designed to fit virtually every frame, style, size, and prescription. That includes designer frames, kids’ sizes, and special prescriptions.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are right for all ages. Anyone can benefit from seeing life with just the right amount of light. Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are a great option for kids of all ages because it’s never too early to start protecting your eyes from UV rays and Harmful Blue Light, both indoors and outdoors.

Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses have the widest availability of adaptive lenses on the market today. They are available in all major lens materials, including thinner, lighter polycarbonate and high-index materials. A variety of designs are available as well. Single vision lenses are prescription corrections for distance or near vision. Bifocals and progressive lenses account for distance and near vision correction in the same lens. Ask your eyecare professional for more information.

Yes, Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses work in virtually any frame and material: plastic, metal, rimless, semi-rimless, or full frames.

Yes. Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are compatible with anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings. And not only are they compatible with anti-reflective coatings (which reduce reflections off the lenses), but Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are even better in reducing distracting, discomforting, and disabling glare, both indoors and out. Check with your eyecare professional or eye doctor to see which eyewear and lens options are right for you.

Yes, Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are a great option for children. Did you know that the average child receives three times the UV exposure as an adult? Because children are constantly going from inside to outside and because their crystalline lens is not fully developed, allowing for more light to enter the eye, a lens that blocks 100% of UV rays is important to preserving their eye health now and in future years. Children are also more exposed to Harmful Blue Light than ever before with significant digital device usage and time spent out in the sun. All Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses help protect from Harmful Blue Light, both indoors and out. Additionally, Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are available in polycarbonate material, which is shatterproof and frequently recommended by eyecare professionals for children’s lenses.

Yes, original Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses and Transitions^® XTRActive^® Light Intelligent Lenses can be made without a prescription (this is called a “plano” lens) to fit in nearly any eyeglass frame. Ask your eyecare professional for more details.

Also, nonprescription Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses are also available in some of the products in the Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses performance sunwear line.

Many insurance providers offer coverage for Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses as part of their vision care plan. To find out what savings you can enjoy, it is best to contact your insurance provider.

Eyezen enhanced single vision lenses block at least 20% of Harmful Blue Light rays. Our precision-engineered lenses let beneficial Blue-Turquoise Light pass through while deflecting a significant amount of the dangerous Blue Light.

Blue Light is part of the visible light spectrum. It comes from the sun, as well as artificial light sources like digital screens and fluorescent lights. This type of light gets absorbed deep in the eye, making it one of the most intense forms of visible light to humans.

Harmful Blue Light may contribute to the development of certain eye conditions and is believed to increase the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

The small type and pixelated images on digital devices force our eyes to work harder in order to focus. This can be hard on your eyes and may cause digital eye strain—even if you don’t currently wear glasses.

Eye strain can occur when eyes get tired from intense use. One of the most common causes of eye strain is looking at a computer screen for extended periods of time—known as digital eye strain.

Although your eyes are capable of focusing on screens all day, they really weren’t designed for hours and hours of up-close focusing day after day. Eyezen enhanced single vision lenses are enhanced to do some of the work for your eyes—resulting in less eye strain.
