The Benefits Of Wearing Transition Lenses

Ask anyone about transition lenses and the first thing they usually say is it's hassle free not having to carry around a separate pair of Sunglasses in addition to their everyday Glasses. Transition lens offer you freedom from this hassle. Your financial outlay is less, and you can wear the same pair of glasses all the time - Result!

Transition lenses are also known as photochromotic lenses. They contain millions and trillions of photochromotic molecules, which make it possible to adapt to changing light conditions regardless of the environment you are in. As you move from indoors to outdoors or vice versa, your glasses will automatically adapt to the change in light shades. On a bright and sunny day, they will go dark to protect you from glare and ultraviolet rays. While indoors, the lenses will be so clear that you will feel as if you’re wearing normal prescription glasses. What more would you want?

But, that is not all. Specsdirect2u recognises the great benefits attached with these lenses. 

Here are the main benefits of wearing transition lenses:

You can wear them comfortably while working on your laptop or watching TV because the darkening aspect of the lenses only responds to ultraviolet rays. Otherwise, they stay clear.

They are suitable for all ages especially, for children and elders. Both age groups have a softer and sensitive eye lens which needs the maximum protection, provided by transition lenses

People with eye problems like cataracts and diabetes can be helped. Usually these eye diseases affect night vision and transition lens will provide a better focus through increased clarity

Adaptation with the constantly changing light would protect you from squinting, eye stress and weariness.

You can even have extra active transition lenses for driving. Your vision would improve considerably.

In each of our Glasgow Optical Practices we have sample Transition lenses for you to view.  Our practice locations are Alexandra Parade, Cambuslang, Dennistoun and Tollcross. 

To further fulfill our commitment to customer needs and satisfaction, we bring the choice of having transition lenses fitted into your favourite brand and design.  The brand ranges that we sell include Ray Ban, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Boss Orange or Prada, any of the designer brands, and budget frames can be fitted with Transition lenses.  Now, you can feel proud for having a great fashion sense and health consciousness at the same time.

Consulting the Right Opticians at the Right time

Just as eyes are the windows to a person’s soul, they are also the windows to the world around you. If they’re not taken care of properly, the dirt would accumulate on them just as it would on any window in your house. The result… your vision gets murky and cloudy. Slowly, the world would start looking darker and darker until you lose your vision. 

Eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration are causing sight loss among millions every day. According to an estimate by RNIB, approximately 2 million people in UK alone are living with sight loss. While sight loss can be related to gender, genetics, over-exposure to sunlight and smoking etc., ageing is the most common cause of sight loss. The risk increases as you grow older but the good news is, it can be treated. Like any other disease, it is the right diagnosis at the right time which may help you to control loss of sight in eyes.

When you’re getting your eyes checked, make sure that you get in touch with the right opticians.

Buy Glasses at Online Prices with the Personal Touch of a Local Branch

Specsdirect2u are a different type of supplier of great value spectacles. They not only offer the fantastic savings of an online spectacle supplier but also the expertise of qualified opticians and four local branches offering eye tests and glasses in the Glasgow area. The company use qualified opticians to manufacture your lenses so you can be rest assured that your lenses will be manufactured to a high standard.

If you have bought glasses from an Optician in the past you are likely to have found that the costs just seem to keep on adding up. This is due to the incredibly high costs that can be associated with running an optical practice, and these inevitably get passed on to the customer. Specsdirect2u manage to combine the best of optical practices with the savings of online suppliers for their customers. You will not find better prices in any optical practice in the country.

Many opticians sell each element of their glasses separately, which can make a seemingly good value pair of frames turn into an expensive pair of glasses. Therefore Specsdirect2u offer a novel pricing system that includes the cost of lenses in the price that you see. The prices are quoted with single vision lenses, but if you need bifocals you simply add £30, and for varifocals you add on £60. However it is also worth noting that you can get a complete pair of glasses with single vision lenses from as little as £15.

If you need more information about lens types and coatings just contact one of the Optical Practices to enquire, a member of staff will be able to assist you.

Although there are budget options available many of you will be looking for designer frames at great prices. Specsdirect2u carry a number of lines of designer frames and offer them at very attractive prices when compared with other Opticians. If you do not live in the Glasgow area do not worry, all you need to order a pair of glasses is your current prescription and an idea of the frames that you might like. If you haven’t got specific frames in mind Specsdirect2u will send you frames to try on in the comfort of your own home so that you can make a decision about which ones you want.

There are 21 different designer lines of frames that you can choose from. The best-selling ranges are by Prada and Ray Ban, but there are also ranges by BOSS, Superdry and Gucci and the newly introduced Tom Ford and Jimmy Choo ranges. There is something for everyone, whether your preference is for rimmed or rimless glasses, budget or designer, rigid or bendable.
