At Transitions Optical we help people live more vibrant lives by enhancing their vision and the way they perceive light. 

We were the first to successfully commercialise a plastic photochromic lens in 1990 and our talented people continue to make significant advances in colour science and lens materials, creating a better photochromic experience that’s available to more people. Through our partnerships with optical industry leaders, we offer adaptive solutions in the widest selection of designs and materials, covering hundreds of lens combinations. 

Our industry leading eyeglass brands are well known; Transitions® Signature®, Transitions® Vantage® and Transitions® XTRActive®. And we don’t stop there; we also make adaptive sunwear and motorcycle helmet shields.
