From Viewtopia Optical
Unique Polarized Lens For Driving
With the combined benefits of fixed polarization and photochromic properties, Transitions Drivewear Lenses provide the perfect vision experience & color contrast for your driving needs, thanks to their ability to react to both UV and Visible light. The lens color and level of darkness adapt to your light conditions while driving. This makes them the perfect companion for your next drive, at any light level.
Color Adaptation Perks
The perks of color adaptation are numerous. You get enhanced red and green signals that appear more vivid, while glare from road surfaces diminishes significantly.
Your eyes experience reduced strain as colors shift to optimize contrast in changing conditions.
Light Adaptation Perks
Light adaptation means your lenses automatically darken in bright sunlight and lighten in overcast conditions or tunnels. This eliminates the need to switch between multiple pairs of glasses, ensuring optimal visibility and eye comfort throughout your entire journey without manual adjustments.
The Real Benefts
Color Varies With Light Intensity
Lenses shift from green-yellow in low light to copper-brown in bright conditions, maximizing contrast and clarity for every driving scenario you encounter.
Always-On Polarization, Reducing Reflective Glare
Constant polarization filters out horizontal glare from wet roads, windshields, and water surfaces, ensuring clear vision regardless of outdoor light conditions.
Optimal Driving Experience
Purpose-built for drivers, these lenses enhance reaction time and comfort by adapting to tunnels, highways, and changing weather throughout your trip.
Blocks 100% UVA and UVB Rays
Complete ultraviolet protection shields your eyes from harmful sun exposure during extended drives, preventing long-term damage.
The Right Color For The Right Light
The Real Benefts
Olive Green
Scientifically created to remove glare that would otherwise impact your vision in low-light environments.
Copper
This tint is made for daylight conditions, removing glare for safer driving vision.
Brown
The best color for maximizing comfort in high-light conditions, especially in summer driving conditions.
Polarization Technology
Transitions Drivewear lenses utilize advanced polarizing filters that eliminate harsh glare while maximizing light transmission. This technology blocks reflective light from roads and surfaces, allowing beneficial light to pass through.
Photochromic Technology
These lenses adapt dynamically to changing conditions using specialized dyes that respond to both UV and visible light. Unlike traditional photochromic, Transitions Drivewear activates even behind your windshield.

Frequently Asked Questions About Transition Drivewear Lenses
Can I get Transition Drivewear Lenses with my prescription?
Absolutely! Transition Drivewear Lenses work with most prescriptions, including single vision and progressive lenses. Whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or need multifocal correction, these lenses can be customized to match your exact prescription needs. During your consultation at Viewtopia Optical, our opticians will review your prescription and confirm compatibility.
How quickly do the lenses transition between light and dark?
The transition happens remarkably fast, though the exact speed depends on the intensity of the light change. When moving from dim to bright conditions, the lenses darken within 20-30 seconds. Lightening up takes slightly longer, typically 2-3 minutes when going from bright to dim environments. This gradual lightening is actually beneficial because it prevents your eyes from being shocked by sudden brightness changes. The transitions are smooth and continuous rather than abrupt, so that you won’t notice jarring shifts.
Can I wear these lenses for activities other than driving?
While Transition Drivewear Lenses are specifically designed for driving, many people enjoy wearing them for other outdoor activities too. They work great for walking, outdoor dining, or any daytime activity where you’ll encounter changing light conditions. However, they’re not ideal for all situations. Because they’re optimized for the specific light conditions encountered while driving, they may appear slightly tinted even indoors, which makes them less suitable as all-day, everyday glasses.
Will these lenses work for night driving?
Transition Drivewear Lenses are designed for daytime driving and should not be worn at night. Even at their lightest state (olive green tint), they still have some coloration that can reduce visibility in low-light conditions like nighttime driving. Wearing any tinted lenses while driving after dark is dangerous and often illegal because they reduce the amount of light reaching your eyes when you need maximum light transmission. For nighttime driving, stick with your regular prescription glasses or consider lenses with anti-reflective coating that reduces glare from oncoming headlights without reducing overall light transmission.
How long do Transition Drivewear Lenses last?
With proper care, Transition Drivewear Lenses typically last two to three years before you’ll notice any decrease in their photochromic performance. The polarization technology remains effective much longer, often for the life of the lenses. However, the photochromic molecules that enable the color-changing ability will gradually become less responsive over time with repeated exposure to light.
How do I clean and maintain my Transition Drivewear Lenses?
Caring for your Drivewear lenses is straightforward but essential for maintaining their performance. Always rinse them with lukewarm water first to remove dust and debris before wiping, which prevents scratching. Use a lens-specific cleaning solution or mild dish soap, never harsh chemicals, window cleaners, or paper towels. Dry them with a clean microfiber cloth using gentle circular motions. Avoid extreme temperatures by not leaving your glasses on the dashboard or in a hot car, as excessive heat can damage the photochromic properties. Store them in a protective case when not in use. Don’t use your shirt or tissues to clean them, as these can create tiny scratches over time.
