“They also reduce glare associated
with bright sun and harmful blue
light, allowing children to see their
best in any light condition – reducing
eye fatigue and improving visual
comfort.”
Cook adds that childhood is a critical
time in developm ent of the eye, when
good and bad eye care habits are formed.
“Regular eye care and protection habits
should begin early in life. A child’s
crystalline lenses are not fully devel-
oped to adequately filter UV rays and
harmful blue light; therefore, they are
more vulnerable to UV radiation and
increased transmission inside the eye
than an adult.”
All Transitions lenses block 100 per
cent of UV rays and help protect
against harmful blue light from digital
devices, screens and especially bright
sun. Transitions Signature VII lenses,
are the fastest-adapting and most
popular lenses. Transitions lenses are
also available in sturdy, lightweight,
shatter and impact resistant materials.
