Transitions® GEN S™ Elevates the Visual Experience in all Light Conditions!
Transitions® GEN S™ is the latest groundbreaking and revolutionary photochromic product from Transitions® engineered to meet patient demands without compromise.
Breaking the barriers of speed, style, and light protection, with Transitions GEN S you have the opportunity to upgrade prescription glasses from a must-wear to a love-wear experience!
GEN Speed™
Transitions GEN S is the fastest dark lens1* in the clear to dark photochromic category. It is ultra-responsive to light, reaching category 3 darkness in 25 seconds2* and fading back in less than two minutes3 and has improved long-lasting photochromic performance3*.
GEN Style™
Now available in eight vibrant colors, including RUBY, the newest color available in the portfolio. All colors have been optimized to be true to tone during all stages of activation and fade back. While being fully clear indoors, and beautifully colored outdoors, Transitions GEN S provides endless possibilities of pairing to complement any look.
GEN Smart™
Transitions GEN S elevates the visual experience in all light conditions. Thanks to its responsiveness to light, it provides a 39% faster vision recovery from intense lights4 versus clear lenses. During fade back, there is a 39.5% improvement in contrast sensitivity5 and 40% faster vision recovery5 versus the previous generation.
Transitions GEN S is the smart choice for freedom, comfort and style.

1Compared to gray lenses in the clear to dark (category 3) photochromic category. Transitions® GEN S™ Gray lenses fade back faster to 70% transmission while achieving less than 14% transmission when activated at @ 23°C.
2For gray polycarbonate & CR39 lenses achieving 18% transmission @ 23°C.
3For gray polycarbonate & CR39 lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating fading back to 70% transmission @ 23°C.
4Compared to clear lenses. Subject-masked cross-over randomized controlled investigation performed in 2023 on 30 healthy participants (19.2 ± 1.3 years). Testing light stress (discomfort and disability glare, photo-stress recovery) with the clear and darkest states of Transitions GEN S Gray 1.6 index lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating compared to clear 1.6 index lenses with a premium anti-reflective coating. Principal investigator Prof Billy R. Hammond.
5Compared to the previous generation. Subject-masked cross-over randomized controlled investigation performed in 2023 on 10 healthy pre-trained participants (29.5 ± 4.0 years).
