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.
