Mirrored glasses, meanwhile, continue to be in style and the
new Transitions XTRActive style mirrors create an on-
trend mirror finish with a hint of colour. The new mirror
colours are: gold, silver, copper, blue violet and blue green.
Outdoors, the lenses have a mirror finish and provide
intelligent visual comfort and hassle-free protection from
UV and harmful blue light, thanks to the advanced Transitions
XTRActive technology. Indoors the mirror fades to a
light reflection with a hint of colour.
By optimizing the amount of light your eyes receive, Tran-
sitions lenses also help reduce glare, eye fatigue and strain,
for more effortless sight. All Transitions lenses block 100
per cent of UV rays and help filter harmful blue light from
digital devices, screens and especially bright sun.
The Transitions Signature style colors will be available in
a variety of materials, including 1.50, polycarbonate and
1.67 in single-vision and progressive designs. The Transitions
XTRActive style mirrors will be available in polycarbonate
in single-vision and progressive designs.
