  • This is a real-life comparison of Transitions Generation 8, the XtrActive Gray, and the new (2021) XtrActive Polarized optical lenses used for eyeglasses.
    *The Gen. 8 Transitions have improved upon the Gen. 7 with faster darkening times, faster time to clear, and are the most common option for most people.
    *The XtrActive are great for people looking for lenses that will partially darken in the car, as well as get darker outside than most other photochromics.
    *The newest addition to the Transitions line are the XtrActive Polarized lenses. These are best suited for who like having the benefits of the regular XtrActive, but who would like the additional advantages of having polarized lenses as well.

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  Год назад

      Thank you for your kind words! The latest generation of Transitions (Gen. 8) last even longer than previous generations, at a little over 2 years before they start losing their ability to darken/lighten. They will still darken/lighten after, they just won't get as dark/light as they did previously. This is also only an average and ultimately depends on individual usage. Thank you again! 😎

      Very true. One thing to be aware of though, if you use a polarizing filter on a camera and are wearing polarizing lenses on your glasses, they will cancel each other out. I found this out when my camera viewfinder turned black. Finally realized I had to take off the glasses to see. Thought at first something was wrong with my camera. duhhhhh

    I noticed on Transitions website there is also the option to add mirror tinting to the XTRActive New Generation lenses. Is this a good investment for glasses that will be worn pretty much all the time? Do they cause any type of reflection that would interfere with vision when not outdoors? And would this work on progressives? Thanks in advance for suggestions.🙂

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  Год назад +2

      Great question! They are a subtle mirror and suitable for indoor and night time wear, so there's very little disruption compared to regular XtrActive wear, comparatively speaking.
      They are called, "Style Mirrors" and that describes their intention really well. They are for those looking for Transitions lenses, but want to add a little extra, "style" to them and differentiate from the typical gray and brown. For the most part, you don't even notice it's there, but as they darken the mirror effect becomes more and more noticable. So you get the benefit of having a stylish pair of sunglasses that you can also wear comfortably when regular sunglasses with a mirror would be too dark. It's a stylish convenience. :)

      Yes, I keep a pair of Drivewear in my car. They're transitioning is pretty subtle and not really noticeable while wearing them driving, and that's what I like about them - I don't really have to think about it and I always have the best color lenses while driving, even if I drive through an overcase area.
      The pair I have are about 2 1/2 years old and working fine. Most Transitions have an optimal performance of between 1 1/2 and 2 years.

  • @MrMichaelMeissner
    @MrMichaelMeissner 3 года назад +17

    A couple of things. As Joshua mentioned, it would be good to see the transition from dark to clear also.
    For completeness, you should probably also do the non-Transitions branded photochromic lens as well like you did in the 2015 video.
    Rather than just a plain white tray, it may be useful to print up lines or use a newspaper so you can see through the glass and get a little context of how it would be in real world situations.
    For the XtraActive and XtrActive Polarized lenses, also show how dark they get when you are in a car and compare it to the gen 8. Presumably the gen 8 would be clear because the car windshield blocks UV rays. The advertising claim is XtrActive will get dark in a car, but the question is how dark do they get. So far, I don't recall many videos showing this.
    Please compare how much polarization XtraActive Polarized lenses are compared to a standard polarized lens. Compare both when the glasses are in the shade (and hence not dark) and when you are in sunlight. In addition to reducing glare, it would be helpful to know if the glasses suffer the usual problems with displaying certain LCDs (for example my daughter's 2012 Prius's LCD cannot be seen with polarized lenses).
    It might also be helpful to compare the effect of the optional anti-reflective coatings does to the glasses, and whether it affects the transitions between dark/light, and for the Polarized lenses whether it impacts the polarization.
    And finally, please mention that XtraActive Polarized is not available at this time in bi-focal and tri-focal glasses. I was excited to learn that XtraActive Polarized existed (and usemyframe.com seems to be the only online vendor right now), and then I was disappointed that I couldn't get it in tri-focals.

      Awesome question Thomas, and thank you! We've shipped overseas (and Canada) before! Go through our lens order page and when you're at the checkout page, you should see an option for delivery to you (in the UK), as long as you have created an account and submitted your address (the postal rates are determined accordingly). I'll follow up via email following this comment. Thank you again for watching! :)

    Do the extractive ones look like tinted glasses when you are inside ? Not very clear ?

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  Год назад

      Yes, there's a notable tint indoors with the XtrActive (maybe a 5 to 10%). Wearing them you wouldn't usually notice, nor if someone is looking at you would they notice; but much more noticeable when placed on a white background like in this video. Some who are very light sensitive actually prefer this.

    Do transition gen 8 have bluelight filters?

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  2 года назад

      Yes, that’s another improvement of the Gen 8 over the 7, is they help reduce blue light. They’re not as effective as a dedicated blue light coating, but certainly helpful nonetheless.

    Can Anti-Reflective coating be added to Axtraactive polarized?

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  Год назад

      Yes, the ar coating can safely be added to any lenses and the lenses will still darken, but maybe only a couple percent less dark as lenses without the ar coating.

    How do the polarized lens compare to high quality fishing glasses.?

    • @UseMyFrame

      High quality fishing glasses are usually polarized. The polarization helps reduce the surface glare on the surface of the water so you can see below.

    Good evening, sir, can you tell me the difference between prescription sunglasses and the XtrACTIVE Polarized lenses? I had polarized lenses before but did not block out the sun, and I am sensitive to light. Any feedback will be much appreciated. Thank you

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  10 месяцев назад

      Sunglasses will be dark all the time and are usually polarized or just tinted. The XtrActive polarized lenses will be clear outdoors and darken and polarize outside.
      I would recommend the XtrActive polarized lenses to those wanting a convenient option of polarized sunglasses that can also be used inside; however, for those that are very light sensitive and want very dark sunglasses, the regular polarized sunglasses would be a better option. Also, for those wanting sunglasses while driving, I'd recommend polarized sunglasses even though the XtrActive polar partially darkens, it's not nearly as much as the dedicated polarized lenses).

      You are right as the polarization will interfere with your screens. The Transitions XtrActive Polarized is only polarized as it darkens so that wouldn’t be an issue if indoors.

  • @DavidTretheweydtreth
    @DavidTretheweydtreth 5 месяцев назад

    Here's my question: was the polarized Xtractive as dark as the regular Xtractive to the naked eye? In the video it looks lighter but I am somewhat assuming that's because of the nature of polarization on a digital sensor.

    Do XtrActive Polarized interfere with LCD screens? Can you still use your phone outside when they darken?

    • @UseMyFrame
      @UseMyFrame  Год назад

      These actually polarize as they darken. So in their clear state they won’t affect computer screens at all, but as they darken and polarize, yes they can affect how you perceive screens; though in my experience, not as much as regular polarized lenses.

    • @JimFarrand
      @JimFarrand Год назад

      ​@@UseMyFrame Thanks! I did a bit of Googling since yesterday, and I think this might actually be less of a problem than it was, maybe because modern screens are a built a bit differently? I've avoided polarised glasses for years, because - many years ago - I bought a pair and then discovered that it made everything on my phone invisible - literally the screen went dark.
      When inside using a computer I could generally switch to another pair of glasses, I guess my concern is being outside with just a pair of XTRAactive and not being able to read the notifications on my phone when I need to. I'm basically blind without my glasses and don't want to need to take my glasses off and hold my phone right up close to my face, thus looking like a bit of a twit.
      "Affect how you perceive screens" makes it sound more like, things might go a bit funny but are still usable?

      Yes, great question! Even though it started getting cloudy while making that video, they had equal sunlight. So while both will get darker than shown in that video, the XtrActive was darker than the XtrActive Polarized.
