In a world where light conditions shift fast — from indoor offices to bright outdoor sunshine, from dashboards to cafés — your eyewear needs to keep up. Enter Transitions GEN S™: the latest from Transitions designed for life on the move.

Transitions GEN S™ lenses represent the newest generation of light-adaptive eyewear, designed for people who move seamlessly between different environments throughout the day. Indoors, the lenses remain perfectly clear, offering the comfort and look of regular prescription glasses. Step outside, and they respond in seconds — darkening to full sunglass-level protection in about 25 seconds, then fading back to clear in under two minutes when you head back inside.
Beyond speed, GEN S™ lenses provide complete UV protection, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays, while also filtering a significant amount of blue-violet light — up to around 32% indoors and 85% outdoors — which helps reduce eye strain from digital screens and bright sunlight. They’re available in eight vibrant colours, from classic grey and brown to more expressive tones like sapphire, amethyst, and ruby, allowing wearers to match their eyewear to their personal style without sacrificing performance.
What sets GEN S™ apart from previous Transitions generations is its balance of clarity, speed, and style. Wearers report preferring the natural appearance of these lenses both indoors and outdoors, making them a true upgrade for anyone who doesn’t want to juggle separate glasses and sunglasses. While, like all photochromic lenses, they may not darken as much behind a car windscreen, their fast response time and all-day comfort make them a standout choice for dynamic, on-the-go lifestyles.
