Torrance, Calif., June 2016 – Transitions Signature Flat Top 28 polycarbonate composite lenses are now available in both gray and brown. This means even more bifocal wearers can enjoy the unsurpassed photochromic performance of Transitions Signature VII lenses.

Why is this expansion important for eye care practices? Transitions Signature brown is the colour of choice for many patients, both for fashion and to enhance contrast. This new lens provides an opportunity for eye care professionals to significantly heighten the satisfaction of patients who wear polycarbonate bifocals. Eight out of 10 patients prefer Transitions Signature lenses to clear lenses, and now eye care professionals don’t have to find another option when bifocal wearers request a Transitions brand lens. They can dispense authentic Transitions Signature lenses in a polycarbonate composite material.

Just how significant is the market for bifocal lenses? Approximately one in five pairs of lenses sold today are segmented multi-focals, and a majority of those are bifocals.

What is unique about this product? “Younger Optics and Transitions Optical have developed a polycarbonate composite lens that incorporates a thin photochromic front surface bifocal layer made of Trivex^®—resulting in a lens delivering Transitions Signature VII performance and superb segment cosmetics in a product that is surfaced, polished, edged and dispensed just like a clear polycarbonate lens,” said David Rips, president and CEO of Younger Optics.

Transitions Signature polycarbonate composite flat top 28 lenses are now available in both gray and brown exclusively from Younger Optics.
