Transitions® SOLFX Sunwear

Whether it’s to elevate the performance of your game, express your personal style, or simply to provide enhanced vision in difficult lighting situations, Transitions® SOLFX™ sun lenses are designed to help you look great, see better and perform your best.

Using advanced photochromic technology from Transitions Optical, Transitions SOLFX sun lenses self-adjust, enhancing visual performance by automatically changing and optimizing their degree of darkness or color with the sun. 

While traditional sunglasses are fixed tint and have only one level of darkness, Transitions SOLFX sun lenses are dynamic, enhancing your visual performance while eliminating the need to put on and take off sunglasses as lighting conditions change.  Transitions SOLFX sun lenses are available in a number of distinctive colors and with performance characteristics optimized for specific needs. They can also be paired with leading frame brands and styles so you can create your own look.

If you wear prescription eyewear, Transitions SOLFX sun lenses are the perfect complement to your everyday Transitions lenses.

 

 

Activated by Transitions®
 
Because Transitions sun lenses use Transitions photochromic technology to “activate” or darken they were previously called Activated by Transitions®.  While they still use the advanced photochromic technology from Transitions to provide the right level of darkness, all Transitions sun lenses, including those previously called Activated by Transitions, will now be branded as Transitions SOLFX.

HOW atLast! LENSES WORK

atLast! Enhanced Multifocals are unlike any other multifocal lenses available today. Bifocals and trifocals use a power segment on the surface of the lens to provide the appropriate vision correction. Other lenses like progressives have gradually increasing power throughout the lens. And most multifocals provide up to three ‘zones’ of clear vision – Near, Intermediate and Distance.


Composite Lens with 4 Zones of Vision

But atLast! is a composite lens that combines a power gradient and an embedded power segment -- to provide four zones of clear vision:

  • Near vision - (from 12” to 18”)
  • Intermediate vision - (from 18” to 29”)
  • Far-Intermediate vision - (from 29” to 5 feet)
  • Distance vision - (beyond 5 feet)

Wide, Clear, Continuous Close-up to Far Intermediate Vision


Plus, atLast! Enhanced Multifocals are unique in providing Far-Intermediate vision, enabling wide, clear, continuous vision from close-up all the way out to five feet, with a soft power jump when transitioning from distance viewing to far-intermediate.


atLast! Enhanced Multifocals Provide Wide, Clear, Continuous Vision with Minimal Power Jump

Not a Progressive or a Blended Bifocal

  • The soft power jump is 70% less than that of a bifocal of equivalent add power.
  • Wearers enjoy more than 10 times the range of near and intermediate vision compared to a bifocal of comparable add power, with a viewing area that’s wider and more stable.

Together with clear, spacious distance vision, atLast! Enhanced Multifocals give you the full range of vision you need and expect, in a lens style that’s familiar.






 

Introducing Supercede & Supercede Ws Progrssive Lenses

Patented 100% Back Surface design with Advanced Aspheric Compensation
for Improved Intermediate and Near Vision

  • Patented 100% back-surface design eliminates all front curve distortion
  • Advanced Aspheric Compensation (AAC) in the intermediate and near zones optimizes the optical performance of the lens in the as-worn position
  • Intermediate and near visual fields are up to 35% larger than conventional PALs
  • Available in a variety of materials and coatings including polarized and Transitions lenses




Seiko Supercede and Supercede Ws (Wide & Short) Internal PALs use the latest and most advanced patented 100% back surface design technology. They surpass the performance of our Seiko Succeed Internal Free-Form lenses and provide features and benefits that simply cannot be achieved by conventional front-surface or split-surface progressive lens designs.


First, like previous Seiko Succeed Internal Free-Form lenses, Supercede and Supercede Ws lenses 3-dimensionally fuse the patient?s entire Rx (sphere, cylinder, axis, add power and prism) onto the back surface of the lens. This eliminates all front curve distortion factors, resulting in a tremendous reduction in total size and skew distortion, and the effective elimination of image sway and swim

In the past, clear eyewear was enough. In bright light conditions, polarized sunwear was enough. This is no longer true. Today our lives are strongly influenced by the automobile, which has changed the way we experience the outdoors. We need a third category of lenses in our modern, automobile-centered world. Drivewear. Drivewear lenses are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of the car. From bright sunlight accompanied by intense, blinding glare, to overcast inclement conditions, Drivewear lenses provide the wearer with the appropriate visual solution. Drivewear lenses provide glare protection through polarization and enhance and protect vision through photochromics which respond to both visible and UV light. By combining the strengths of two of the most important technologies in eyewear today we have developed the lens of tomorrow, Drivewear.
