Are you wondering if you should purchase transition lenses or sunglasses this summer? With all the available eyewear options, it can be difficult to choose the best lens for your needs. In this article, we’ll go through the pros and cons of traditional and regular sunglasses so that you can make an informed decision.
When you think about going outside in the sun and protecting your eyes, you probably first think of standard sunglasses. They protect your eyes against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and help prevent glare so that you can see clearly. When choosing a pair of sunglasses, you should always pick ones that offer 100 percent protection against UVA and UVB rays. Secondly, it’s important to make sure the lenses completely cover your eyes. This can mean picking a pair with a larger lens size. Lastly, choose the right lens tint. Lenses with gray tints offer the best depth perception with the least amount of color distortion, but amber or slightly yellow-tinted lenses offer the best view in lower lighting situations.
Transition lenses are a newer and more advanced product than traditional sunglasses. So rather than having to put on and take off your sunglasses all day while you shop, enjoy the sites, or spend time in your own backyard, you can leave your trendy transitional lenses on your face. This is because the lenses automatically adjust to various lighting levels, hence the name “transition.” Transitional lenses can also be purchased with or without vision correction.
When it comes to choosing the right type of eye protection this summer, it depends on your specific needs. If you wear contacts, a basic pair of sunglasses may be right for you. If you wear glasses, you may want to consider transitional lenses so that you can reduce your risk of losing your sunglasses and keep your eyes protected in multiple lighting conditions.
