Eye Conditions
Dry eye syndrome, or dry eye disease, is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not make enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to the eyes drying out and becoming red and irritated. Dry eye syndrome is also known as 'keratoconjunctivitis sicca' or simply 'dry eyes'. Although the condition can affect people of any age, your chances of developing dry eye syndrome increase as you get older.
Staying Safe In The Sun
Transitions lenses are designed to quickly adapt from clear indoors to fully dark in bright sun, offering a distinct advantage over clear lenses every day. By adjusting to both UV and visible light, Transitions XTRActive lenses activate to a comfortable level of tint for driving, making them an everyday lens that darken behind the windscreen of a car and behind a motorbike visor.
