Now Featuring Gen S Transition Lenses—Faster, Smarter, Better
At Not Another Eye Store, we’ve added the newest Gen S transitions lenses from the Transitions brand to our lineup.
These lenses were redesigned based on customer feedback—especially from people frustrated that it used to take too long for lenses to go clear indoors.
With Gen S, the response is quicker: Clear in under 2 minutes—even after full sun exposure.
They still offer:
- Smooth darkening when exposed to sunlight
- Reliable performance in hot temperatures
- Full UVA and UVB protection
- Blue violet light filtering
- Consistent photochromic performance
Since launching Gen S, the feedback from our clients has been overwhelmingly positive. People notice the difference right away—and love the new colors! (Now available in 8 exclusive colors)
Get yours today at Not Another Eye Store. We’ll fit them right and walk you through all the options.
What Are Transition Eyeglasses?
Transition eyeglasses use photochromic lenses that automatically adjust when exposed to sunlight and UV light. These lenses:
- Darken outdoors like sunglasses
- Return to clear indoors
- Respond to UV exposure and temperature
- Block 100% UVA and UVB rays
- Filter blue violet light for added comfort
- Perform reliably in hot temperatures
Ideal for Calgarians dealing with snow glare, harsh sun, and long daily commutes.
NEW: Gen S Transitions Lenses Fix What Older Versions Missed
Older transitions glasses had one major flaw—they took too long to return to clear indoors.
Gen S, the newest release from Transitions Optical 2024, changed that.
- Fades back to clear in under 2 minutes
- Previous lenses took up to 5 minutes
- Darkens just as fast when exposed to sunlight
- Maintains clarity and photochromic performance in hot or cold temperatures
Gen S responded to real user feedback—and we’re one of the few shops in Calgary offering them now.

Love This Place!!! Needing new glasses last year, I wanted to find a fun shop. A different shop. Not the typical big name corporate chain store. The name grabbed… read more me first – right up my alley!! Curtis now has a customer for life! Having worn glasses/contacts for 40 years, perhaps I was worn out from the “picking frames” effort. I didn’t even try! Curtis went to work – immediately presenting excellent options. With pertinent questions and thoughtful opinions, he patiently added/subtracted until I was down to 2 (completely different lol) frames. Luckily with a promotion, I was able to get both! When I said “customer for life,” I wasn’t kidding! I’m hard on my glasses. Every time I kneel or step on them, or in some other way make them unwearable, I pay a visit! I am still happy with my choices, but when I need my next eye exam, (and sunglasses and contacts,) you know I’m going to Not Another Eye Store!!
Has to be the cheapest price for an eye exam in Calgary. Also staff was great and would strongly recommend for anybody
