*Tests carried out on gray lenses. Photochromic performance may vary across colors and lens materials and is influenced by temperature and UV exposure.
¹ For gray polycarbonate & CR39 lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating fading back to 70% transmission @ 23°C.
² Compared to the previous generation. Subject-masked cross-over randomized controlled investigation performed in 2023 on 10 healthy pre-trained participants (29.5 ± 4.0 years). Testing contrast sensitivity during fadeback with Transitions GEN S Gray 1.6 index lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating compared to Transitions Signature GEN 8 Gray 1.6 index lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating. Principal investigator Prof Pablo Artal. Accepted abstract at ARVO 2024. Duarte-Toledo R, Mompeán J et al., A new photochromic lens improves contrast sensitivity during fadeback.
³Clear to extra dark photochromic category. Test across polycarbonate and 1.5 grey lenses at 35°C achieving <18%T using Transitions Opticals' standard testing method.
⁴ Clear to extra dark photochromic category. Polycarbonate and 1.5 grey lenses tested at 23°C behind the windshield achieving between 18%T and 43%T.
⁵ Compared to the previous generation, across materials tested on grey lenses fading back to 70% transmission at 23°C.
⁶ Test carried out on grey CR39 and polycarbonate lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating. Blue-violet light is between 400 and 455nm (ISO TR 20772:2018)
⁷ EcoOptics Limited — Prof. Nicholas Roberts, Quantitative study evaluating the visual benefits of the polarization properties of lenses compared to similar non-polarized lenses, 2019/2020.
⁸ Based on tests across materials on grey lenses @ 23°C, using ISO 12312-1 standard.
⁹ Based on tests across materials on grey lenses, achieving transmission below 45% @ 23°C behind a standard windshield. The lens achieves a polarization efficiency of 30% behind the windshield, which is not classified as being “polarized.”
¹⁰ Filters up to 45% of blue-violet light indoors. Test carried out on grey CR39 and polycarbonate lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating. Blue-violet light is between 400 and 455nm (ISO TR 20772:2018)
