Why Care About Vision Wear
Most people understand that the sun’s UV rays can harm their skin, and they take steps to protect it with sunscreen. Yet, many don’t realize their eyes also need protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays and glare.

Kids’ eyes are especially at risk from the effects of UV. In fact, the average child receives three times the annual UV exposure that an adult does.2

Understanding the best ways to take care of your and your children’s eyes can help enhance healthy sight today and preserve it for the future.

Transitions lenses are one of the most convenient ways to provide automatic, everyday protection for people who wear prescription eyeglasses.

Transitions lenses
  • Are clear indoors and become sunglass dark outdoors
  • Block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays
  • Reduce discomforting glare to help minimize eyestrain and fatigue
  • Are available in impact-resistant materials.
