Wondering which color of Transitions lenses is best for you?
While both colors of transition lenses ultimately accomplish the same thing. There are some differences worth noting between transition brown vs grey.
Most notable in the differences between transition brown vs grey are the contrast, darkness, and color compatibility. If you are looking for better contrast to increase visual acuity for things like golfing and fishing, then transition brown is the color for you. If you are looking for the absolute darkest transition lens possible, you should veer towards transition gray.

Is it possible to see everything yellow through a grey xtractive with the blue mirror? My eyecare provider insists the base is grey but I am having difficulty accepting this when looking through it everything looks yellow! Should I send them to the transitions company for examination?
Hi Donna,
If you thinks they are not right, you should send them back for a examination.
I got my first pair of transitions and they were the best. They darkened very much like sunglasses while I was driving and out on the light. It was great. Wore them for 5 years even though the prescription changed, I was able to wear them with a light astigmatism. Now I got a new pair and they suck. They don’t darken like they used to. What happened? Did I have a rogue pair?
Hi Alyssa,
Did you purchase them on the same place. Probably used different coating products.

Transition lenses should darken in the sunlight.
