RAMSEY, Minn.—Vision Ease is introducing a new line of photochromic lenses that offer faster activation and fadeback in addition to providing clearer indoor and darker outdoor performances than competitor’s lenses, according to the company.

“In the past, consumers had to compromise comfort and convenience when they purchased photochromic lenses,” said Grady Lenski, chief marketing officer at Vision Ease. “However, that’s all changed now as we’ve developed a photochromic lens that outperforms the national brand at every turn.”

In internal light transmission tests conducted by Vision Ease, the new photochromic lenses are 2.5 percent clearer indoors than the national brand and 7.3 percent darker outdoors. The lenses also present a faster activation (27 percent) than the national brand as well as a quicker fadeback (44 percent).

The new Vision Ease photochromic lenses block 91 percent of blue light outdoors and 43 percent of blue light indoors. Additionally, the lenses contain an improved true gray color. Upcoming availability of numerous polycarbonate gray styles include: SFSV, A SFSV, D28 bifocal, D35 bifocal, 7x28 trifocal and a decentered Novel progressive.
