This is because the chemistry os the molecules that are used are temperature dependent, and the warmer it is the less dark they will go - and the less quickly they will return to clear. You may notice that if you wear them outside, they will go darker much more quickly than when you return indoors and reverse the process.

Transitions is a specific tradename of Essilor, so I would take them back if you were sold them as "Transitions" marw w - you should not have these kind of problems with real transitions lenses.

He is 44 and unable to read the book, watching Tv or to drive the car. He is depression at the moment, I want to helping out as been reading some information about floaters, most said it is harmless and unlikely cause to be blind. He felt that his life is on hold while waiting for appointment at hospital, He sound like his vision is getting worse, is that true he could be permanet vision problem or will it be fade away? His descride about lot of floater in center of his eyes mean he had great difficulty with visual. Will it ever to solve the problem and back to normal even if he get a lot less floaters?

I too have purchased photochromic lens (plastic!), the main reason for the transition lens is because my job entails a lot of driving and hoped that transition lens would tint and sooth the eyes against the bright winter sun. But to my horror as I now read these transition lens won't work behind a windscreen! The glass version works as per the comments but are too heavy so it's a no win situation. When for goodness sake is some manufacturer going design something for the driver who needs prescription lens which can tint in the sunlight and go normal when light fades without having to buy and wear silly sunglasses which are tinted permanently?? Thanks. Mat Hussain Hi, I have been reading quite a lot of comments about transition lens.

I have the impression that they darken well on cold, bright winter days, to be almost as dark as traditional sun glasses, but much less in hot sunny weather! In other words, the temperature as well as the brightness seems to be a factor in how much they darken. This can be a bit annoying when on holiday abroad in hot weather, as this is precisely when I particularly want dark glasses! Am I correct in my impression? I have never read anywhere that temperature is a factor. Thanks for any answer you can give. (Incidentally, Boots used to do a se;ection of glasses which came with their own, magnetically attached sun shades, a perfect fit of course. These were a brilliant idea. I presume they are not popular with opticians because they cut down the profits; one was not obliged to buy two pairs of specs or expensive photochromic ones!!)
