Sunscreen for Your Eyes - The Clinical Case for Transitions® Lenses
In Australia, UV exposure is stronger and more frequent than in many parts of the world. That matters for eye health. UVA and UVB exposure is associated with eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium, and even photokeratitis (sunburnt eye). These changes can increase light sensitivity, reduce vision quality and impact everyday comfort.
Transitions® light-intelligent lenses act like sunscreen for your eyes — providing UVA/UVB protection and reducing glare by darkening in response to UV. The technology is purpose-built for the Aussie sun: bright outdoors, variable shade, and plenty of reflective surfaces.
Why eye-care professionals recommend Transitions®
- UVA & UVB protection built into the lens material*
- Glare reduction outdoors for more comfortable vision
- Adaptive tint — clear indoors, dark outdoors, responsive in between
- High-definition optics for crisp, sharp vision
- All-day convenience — one pair for inside, outside, and everything between
Transitions® GEN S™ , our perfect everyday lenses! Now available in eight exclusive colours, including a brand-new addition: Transitions® GEN S™ Ruby.What is your favourite colour?
Built for Australian conditions
With higher UV indices, abundant beach glare, and long daylight hours, Australian eyes cop a lot. Transitions® lenses adapt to UV in the atmosphere and environmental light — from harsh midday sun to mixed shade on city streets — helping reduce squinting, eye strain and light sensitivity.
Think sunscreen for your eyes: most people remember SPF for their skin, but forget daily UV protection for their eyes. Transitions® makes it effortless — protection that’s always on.
Transitions® GEN S™ lenses are ultra-responsive to light*, offer a spectacular colour palette and an effortless vision experience.
Who benefits most?
- Anyone with light sensitivity or frequent squinting outdoors
- Drivers and commuters moving between indoor/outdoor light
- Patients concerned about UV-related eye disease risk
- Kids and adults who want fewer lens swaps day to day

Tip: If you spend a lot of time near water or bright pavements, a darker outdoor state and neutral lens colour (like grey) can help manage glare without altering colour perception.
