What are Transitions® XTRActive® Polarized™ lenses?

Eye Health

The Transitions XTRActive Polarized combines the latest faster & darker Transitions photochromic technologies with dynamic polarization. These revolutionary lenses darken quickly when moved from indoors to outdoors protecting from blinding glare when it is needed. They lighten quickly when returned indoors. No other single product matches this performance.


What are transitions® xtractive® polarized™ lenses?


Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses are the only and best photochromic polarized lenses( compared to clear to dark photochromic lenses.) - combine photochromic technology with dynamic polarization. This means they adapt to changing light conditions, offering a protective tint indoors, darkening in the car, and reaching their darkest, most polarized state outdoors in the sun.


transitions® xtractive® polarized™ lenses


Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses use a breakthrough exclusive multi-layer matrix to combine new Transitions XTRActive broad-spectrum dyes for more darkness with ultra-fast dichroic dyes for polarization. These lenses provide unparalleled clarity and protection, no matter where you are.


What are the benefits of transitions® xtractive® polarized™ lenses?


1. Light Protection Tint Indoors


Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses offer a subtle tint that provides extra protection even indoors. These lenses block up to 45% of harmful blue light indoors and up to 90% outdoors, ensuring your eyes are always safeguarded.

2. Eye Protection While Driving


Driving often exposes eyes to harsh sunlight, but Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses darken behind the windshield, protecting eyes while driving. This feature activates in the car, making these lenses perfect for on-the-go protection.


3. Darkest Protective Tint Outdoors


The lenses are uniquely designed to darken according to the intensity of the light. The XTRActive dyes enable the lens to reach its darkest state in the brightest conditions, ensuring maximum protection when you need it most.


4. Blinding Glare Protection


Variable polarization activates in very bright conditions, reaching up to 90% polarization efficiency. This feature significantly reduces blinding glare, providing clearer vision in intense sunlight.


5. Latest Technological Developments


Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses incorporate all the latest advancements in optics and material science. From anti-reflective coatings to dynamic polarization layers, every element is designed for superior performance.

6. UV Protection


These lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, providing comprehensive protection against harmful ultraviolet light.


7. Activation in Hot Temperatures


Even in hot temperatures, Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses maintain their effectiveness. They darken rapidly and are designed to activate in the car, ensuring continuous protection.


8. Fast Fadeback


These transitions lenses fade back up to 2x faster than previous versions, providing clear vision as you transition between different environments.

Transitions XTRActive Polarized lens technology layers:


Anti-refection coating: Removes reflections from the front surface of the lens.


Hardcoat: Front surface scratch and mechanical damage protection.


Dynamic polarization layer: UV spectrum dichroic photochromic dyes generating variable polarization.


Xtractive photochromic layer: Broad spectrum dyes specially designed for rapid reaction to both UV and visible light for extra darkness.

What is dynamic polarization?


Dynamic polarization is a groundbreaking feature of Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses. These lenses are clear indoors, become polarized outdoors, and adjust polarization levels based on environmental light conditions. The photochromic dyes in these lenses align to create polarization, which varies with the darkness of the lenses, breaking the conventional polarization paradigm.


Transitions xtractive lenses  vs Transitions xtractive polarized lenses


Transitions XTRActive lenses and Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses both provide extra protection from UV and harmful blue light. Transitions XTRActive lenses are darker than Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses outdoors and in the car and have the added benefit of protection from harsh indoor light with a hint of a protective tint. They are ideal for patients who are light-sensitive or who spend a lot of time in front of screens or driving. While Transitions® XTRActive® Polarized™ lenses provide better glare reduction and enhanced clarity, making them ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those frequently moving between different lighting environments.


Transitions Signature GEN 8 vs Transitions xtractive polarized lenses


Transitions Signature Gen 8 lenses are the latest generation of Transitions lenses, providing advanced photochromic performance. These lenses are designed to quickly adapt to changing light conditions, offering optimal clarity and comfort both indoors and outdoors. They activate to a dark tint outdoors, providing excellent UV protection and reducing glare. Gen 8 lenses are also designed to have a faster fade-back speed, meaning they transition back to clear more quickly when you move from outdoors to indoors.


On the other hand, Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses combine the benefits of Transitions XTRActive technology with polarization. These lenses not only darken in response to UV light but also feature polarization technology, which helps reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, and roads. This combination of photochromic and polarized technologies provides enhanced visual comfort, clarity, and glare reduction in both outdoor and indoor environments.

Conclusion

Discover the future of eyewear with Transitions XTRActive Polarized Lenses. Whether you are hiking up a mountain, driving through the city, or enjoying a sunny beach day, Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses are designed to enhance your visual experience.
