They give you one contact for distance and one for near. So if you want to look far away you use one eye, if you want to read you use the other. Doesn't sound very good to me.

Also I didn't realize that they would not be tinted while in the car which is where I needed the tinting the most. Hope this helps

Guys at work say the same thing. Just get prescription polarized traditional Ray Bans your eyes change its easy to get new lenses. Best to stick to what gets the job done. It does require two sets of glasses and a lot of insurance only replaces every 2 years. If you have a pair regular glasses that you see fine wait it out and go with the prescript sunglasses.

I wear contacts and have for years when I started to not be able to read close up I got the reading glasses and what a pain. My eye Doc suggested one for reaching out and the other eye unaided as I see close up fine without contacts in. It was no problem for me the transition and was used to by the end of the day. You just dont really notice it the brain compensates.

Yes. Your situation is correctable.

This is what I have. I also have the transition lenses. These magnetic clip-ons cost $100 to replace.

Ditto.

To solve this, I have clip on sunglasses which attach to my regular glasses, which I keep in the car.

Unless I'm asleep, I'm wearing my glasses, so it's the full boat for me. Throw every advantage I can onto them, and just suck it up and pay it. :shrug:

Well that makes zero sense at all. White trash has no teeth and wears a broken pair of glasses with tape on them in Walmart while their ass is hanging halfway out of their ripped sweats that don't stay up.

Its so annoying speaking with the salesperson because they are just that. You can't get an honest answer out of them because Crizal and Transitions are the best thing ever created. LMAO

Meanwhile, I hear the everyday folk say how the crizal isn't any better than the cheap antireflective coatings.

Yea, the transitions don't get as dark as actual sunglasses or dark in the car. They still help and I still like them. I guess it depends if you are very cost conscious. I'm not regarding eye glasses. I guess I'm also past being fashion conscious about how they look.

I also like that in scenarios where I may be outside from afternoon through evening I don't have to worry about carrying a sunglass case to put my sunglasses back into when it gets dark. (I wear contacts part of the time).

I used to struggle to keep the anti-glare clean. I don't use the tiny cloth that you may get with the glasses. Get a couple of large, soft towels. The type for drying dishes. Make sure you get soft ones not the cheapo ones from WalMart/Target and laundry them frequently. A really clean towel helps prevents smears. A tiny cloth is good for one or two wipes and after that it just smears. Surprisingly enough, I found the large refill bottle from WalMart worked better than the spray from the eye doctors office and don't spray too much.

Hated the Transitions. Wouldn't get dark in the car so I had to wear sunglasses in the car. Stayed too dark when I went indoors so I had to take my glasses off for the first five minutes I was indoors. Didn't really get dark enough as sunglasses. Sometimes if the sun hit them weird I'd get weird dark/light patterns on them. When my prescription changed I dumped them and went back to plain old glasses and I just put on clip-on sunglasses, much easier.

Chief Pagan 05-02-2016 08:02 PM

Might be more than you want to spend but transition lens don't prevent you from putting clip on in the car.
