How Long Does it Take for Transitions to Darken and Clear

I know it’s been 2 years since this video but wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this and several of the other videos I watched! You were professional and objective in showing how/what the lenses do. I just bought a new pair of house glasses and chose the XtraActive Polarized so they act like sunglasses when I walk the dog or go to our local pool. It’ll help me not having to remember to change my glasses and I don’t mind the slight tint indoors. I tend to keep my glasses for many years and replace the lenses. I appreciated finding your site in case my current optometrist office won’t replace the lenses of these glasses (bought from Target as opposed to I’ve always bought my other glasses from them). My last pair of house glasses lasted me 10 years of just changing the lenses, apparently that’s ancient 😂. Glasses also work like fashion in that some styles/sizes aren’t easily available!

I love your videos! You have no idea how much you have helped me ! Thank you deeply!

This company is so great to use. I have replaced lenses with my current frames and they were frameless. Many companies will not use your current frames and when you pay so much for some of them it can get expensive. Did such a great job. I would go back to them anytime. Very responsive. It is nice to see the face I spoke to via chat. Very Knowledgable. Interesting video. For those of us who used to live in Illinois I probably would look at the first one on the left but living in Arizona the last one may work better.

Thanks for taking your time on making these helpful videos, hope you’re doing well

Good video sir! I have just been xtractive lenses for the first time today.

Thanks for the comparisons.

great video, especially the realtime and timer. Thank you! Also great explanations. Keep it up!

Thanks. Great information to the point

Sir, please make video on Leica lenses

Crizal Transition xtractive against Zeiss Photofusion Extra Grey comparison please.

Very Interesting video, sir. I just purchased new eyeglasses yesterday, and after discussing my options, I decided the XTRActive Polarized sounded the best. In your demo, it seems they aren't fully "clear" in the plastic tray even at the very beginning. I hope I'll be happy with my decision ... I guess I'll know in two weeks!

Was the transition polarized vs normal polarized video ever made? What are the main differences in polarization quality?

Looks like it takes the xtractive at least 8 minutes to get back to clear as they can get.

My question is about the polarization. I work in irrigation as a service tech. i am in the sun or rain daily. Will the polarization affect the way i can see the controller screens? I have some dark lenses that are polarized, so i will assume that these would distort the small controller screens as does the lenses i have for driving. Which are cheap wally world clip on versions. Thanks

I have a pair of photo chromatic polarized with a prescription . Will these work good in a car and can I use these for night driving ? Oakley lenses

So at a glance it seems that the Xtractive are for people looking for sunglasses you can use indoors, whereas the Gen 8 are for those looking for normal glasses that turn slightly darker outdoors. Would that be correct?

Wow thank you for this! This is so disappointing. Xtractive advertises their lenses transition in seconds when really it should say in under 10 minutes. I’m glad I didn’t waste the money

Do any of these work when you're driving OR outside IN THE SHADE on a sunny day? I have 2 year old transitions lenses that do NOT get darker AT ALL outside if I'm wearing a hat.

Although this video is somewhat old, I do have one question: I recently bought some new Essilor 1.5 Blue cut + transition (gray) and for whatever reason, they do not darken, even though there's a sunny day. They do seem to have a slight gray tint - emphasis on slight. Is there something wrong with them? Thanks!

Is the transition gen 8 polarized?
