TORRANCE, Calif.—Younger Optics has collaborated with Transitions Optical to create Transitions Signature Flat Top 28 polycarbonate composite lenses in brown, the color of choice for many patients, both for fashion and to enhance contrast.

“Despite growing demand for progressive and digital designs, there is still a significant demand in the market for segmented lenses,” said Catherine Rauscher, global director for lenscaster partners, Transitions Optical. “Offering patients a choice of color in the leading photochromic technology will allow eyecare professionals to meet this demand and enhance their patients’ satisfaction.”

David Rips, president and CEO of Younger Optics, added, “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.”

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