Not only are they convenient and cost-effective, but their ability to adapt to different lighting can also benefit your eyesight too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See below for our top 4 reasons to try transitions lenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyebuydirect.com\/prescription-lens\/transitions\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12098 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-4.png\" alt=\"A man wearing glasses with dark transition lenses\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-4.png 900w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-4-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-4-768x597.png 768w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-4-669x520.png 669w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-4-321x250.png 321w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are Transitions Lenses Good for?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, transitions lenses are extremely convenient. Picture this: You\u2019re cruisin\u2019 in your car and the sun comes shining through your windshield. What do you do? With transitions lenses, you can just keep driving. The lenses will adjust to the light and make it easier for you to see the road \u2014 way better (and way safer) than trying to reach around for your sunglasses. And speaking of trying to find glasses, one pair of eyewear is much easier to keep track of than two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Do Transitions Block UV Rays?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transitions lenses work well to protect your eyes from the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays, and not only that \u2014 they do it in seconds. Step outside and enjoy the sun safely, and stylishly. With light-adjusting technology more advanced than ever, you no longer have to worry about that awkward adjustment period lingering on your lenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Do Transitions Lenses Filter Blue Light?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light adaptive transitions lenses filter blue light, they\u2019re actually great for computer work. Along with blocking 100% of UVA &amp; UVB light both indoors and outdoors, they also shield your eyes from harmful blue light exposure caused by excessive screen time. So go ahead, wear your transitions lenses while working on the computer or scrolling through your phone! They can only help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyebuydirect.com\/prescription-lens\/transitions\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-10.png\" alt=\"A woman smiling wearing glasses with transition lenses\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-10.png 900w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-10-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-10-768x597.png 768w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-10-669x520.png 669w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SECTION-option1a-desktop-10-321x250.png 321w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Are Transitions Lenses Good for Night Driving?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyebuydirect.com\/prescription-lens\/transitions\">Transitions lenses<\/a> have come a long way.
