Transitions Lenses questions - Page 3

Q4u · ‎03-17-2010

I get the darkest they can possibly do (at WalMart) and I get the top of the line lenses they offer and my glasses get very dark outside but I'll often use a pair of darker glasses over them, sometimes not and mine clear to almost nothing when indoors.

I honestly think the quality of the lenses is important in getting the lense to co-operate in getting really dark and in lightening up. I used to have glasses that would not get as light as I wanted them indoors but the last couple of glasses I have ordered, I've upped the quality of the lenses and it has made a big difference IMHO....

WalMart (both where I used to live and now here across the country) have done an excellent job with my glasses. They really do want to make the customer happy!

I hated them. When I was driving and the sun wasn't hitting the lenses, they didn't transition so I had to use sunglasses anyway. Big waste of money for driving anyway.

The main reason I'd been considering them was to try, since the cost was reasonable with insurance, and I've been less than thrilled with my fit-over types that don't get dark enough - I thought that with BOTH of them...but clearly, no.

Technology has changed - and one would think, grown and improved. The lenses are based on UV rays detection to work. When they were invented, car windshields didn't routinely have UV-blocking glass but now most cars do, making Transitions useless in the car.

The company has to have been aware of this for at least a few years. Why haven't they developed another process, another "trigger"? I don't understand that.

Clearly they know people are dissatisfied, with many "returning" their purchase, and for the company itself, and the opticians' offices, to tell people not to buy based on ordinary needs. If they're not working on new technology, I'm thinking the company is going to be visibly shrinking.
