Why would I want to see my eye doctor to get Transition Lenses?

Nearly two out of three people are bothered by bright light. And over 90 percent of people who are bothered by bright light aren't even aware of their unconscious behaviors to avoid it. They squint when they go outdoors, resulting in headaches and crow's feet. They turn their heads to avoid glare and blue light. They don't even know how much of the world they don't see because they don't want to look in the direction of bright light.

Acuvue Transition Lenses reduce the amount of bright light that enters the eye, both indoors and outdoors. During the day, Acuvue Transition Lenses filter out the blue light that keeps you buzzed and makes you tired. When you have to go out into bright light and come back indoors, Transition Lenses help you make the transition about five seconds faster. At night, Acuvue transition lenses eliminate halos around bright lights and flashes from oncoming headlights. Acuvue lenses reduce the stress of bright light anytime day or night to give you easier, sharper vision.

Patients often ask:

• How will I look in Acuvue Transition Lenses? Dr. Urias advises his patients that Acuvue lenses do get darker in the presence of UV light, but they are specifically designed to minimize the change in the appearance of the wearer's eyes.

• Do Acuvue Transition Lenses block harmful rays indoors? Yes! Even when the lenses appear to be clear, they are blocking UV light.

• Are Acuvue Transition Lenses a substitute for sunglasses? No. They can be worn with sunglasses to protect the whites of your eye from the effects of harmful sunlight.
