Transition Lenses
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Eyewear remains one of the most expensive and most demanded health accessories. Big optical companies do understand that and continue to offer vast choice of vision and optical goods to the customers. Needless to say that it time is get frustrated and confusing to choose the right product s for the right eye conditions. Frames and lenses can be bough separately, then come contact lenses and all additional accessories. The final bill that arrives at your door is massive. Is there any solution to this if any (and we are not referring to coupons or any discounts)?
Realising the need for comfort and cheaper options, big vision companies came up with the idea of transition lenses. These are also called photochromic lenses. The name originates from the first company that has invented and introduced transition lenses to the market. Transition lenses represent lenses made from Photochromic plastic that gets darker when it is directly exposed to the light of the sun. It has additional feature of blocking UV rays. Many customers prefer transition lenses to average lenses, because they manage to combine two in one – normal glasses and sunglasses at the same time. According to research, around twenty percent of all lenses sold today from major optical companies are transition lenses. And the good news is that they are cheaper as well, which allows you to save on sunglasses and glasses package. Transition lenses can be directly compared to polarized lenses that are specifically manufactured to allow only a certain type of sunlight to get through the lenses. The similarity is that polarized glasses reflect the sunlight and also partially protect the eyes from the UV.
Transition lenses are offered in abundance by all major optical and vision companies. You can pick the frame of your choice with the designer touch and then order specifically transition lenses as per your prescription. Additional great to feature of transition lenses is that they are comfortable to use. If you would like to use separate sunglasses, these would mean that you would first need to purchase the set of contact lenses and only then sunglasses. For contact lenses there is a separate eye test required, that puts you through separate special procedures to test you if you can wear certain type of contact lenses. It can be time consuming and, at the end of the day, not that comfortable to use constantly switching between normal glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses. Transition lenses solve that problem.
Proclear toric contact lenses are one of the products for better vision available in the market. Its main feature is PC hydrogel material that is used to manufacture lenses. Proclear contact lenses were designed by Cooper Vision corporation and belong to the type of prescription contact lenses. Cooper Vision offers a range of lenses specifically design to a variety of specific vision conditions. PC stands for phosphorycholine Hydrogel. This is a new category of the material for lenses that is exclusively designed for wearing daily. The material itself is made from omafilcon A. This one has a feature of being highly affinitive to water and, thus, keeping contact lenses moist with the water layer on the top. It also prevents different type of deposits that result from wearing contact lenses. One of its main features is the prevention of dehydration during its wear. Material itself is very smooth and soft that makes Proclear toric contact lenses very easy and comfortable to wear.
