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?

transitions eyeglasses gens

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.

Common Complaints with Other Transition Glasses

  • Don’t darken in the car
  • Take too long to fade
  • Don’t block enough UV
  • Scratch easily
  • Fit poorly or distort vision
  • Sold online without proper lens material advice

You won’t deal with any of that here.
