Tell me your thoughts on Transitions lenses

[bab]

I always assumed they were for the 72 and older crowd but someone I know purchased them for her 10 year old.

Do you have them? Would you get them for your child?

[bonquiqui]

No, i am not a fan. .

[mrsjuleshs]

My mom had them and her issue is that they didn't get darker when you were in the car. Also, they took too long to go back to clear.

I hate mine. The second my new prescription date comes around I'm getting normal glasses again.

[rhiannon]

Hated them. The lenses were inconsistent.

[Bernadine]

No, no, no.

[nahoku]

I wouldn't want them and I would not get them for my kid either! I'm not the coolest by any means, but they really are kind of Dork Central.

Don't like them. It seems like a lot of times they get stuck in that in-between stage and they kind of creep me out.

[iamgrace]

Just no.

[bab]

Totally agree on that creepy "in between" phase. LOL

[Deleted]

I have one pair and I HATE them.

[Deleted]

I feel sad for that 10-year-old.

[salimoo]

They're even worse than Talbots.

[maryjane]

they're stupid, but much cheaper than prescription sunglasses.

Even though they advertise that this doesn't happen, my mom said that hers used to get dark when oncoming car headlights shone in her direction, and then she couldn't see anything because they take so long to change back to normal. She was afraid to drive at night when she wore them.

I was in a wedding last fall and the groom INSISTED on wearing them for outdoor photographs. Which was all the photographs. So, he's essentially wearing sunglasses in every wedding photo they have. It looks terrible. He did it for the engagement shoot too, and my mom saw the save the date on my fridge and asked if he was blind. :/

[marshmallow]

NO. So creepy and dorky.

[gbck]

I'd rather have the magnet-on or less-than-horrid clip ons.
Actually, that's what I have.
