Transition Signature lenses are ideal for everyday use. They stay clear indoors and darken outdoors based on UV exposure. XTRActive lenses offer an extra level of protection—they get darker in bright sunlight, have a slight tint indoors, and activate behind the windshield of a car, making them better for people who are light-sensitive or frequently drive.

Yes. At RX-Safety, we specialize in prescription Transition safety glasses, offering the largest selection of lens styles available with all Transition lens color options and types, including Signature, XTRActive, and XTRActive Polarized. You can customize your lenses with single vision, digital single vision, FT-28 lined bifocals, or progressive no-line bifocals.

Standard Transition lenses may not fully activate behind a car windshield because most windshields block UV rays. However, XTRActive and XTRActive Polarized lenses are designed to activate behind the windshield, making them a better choice for drivers.

The darkest Transition lenses currently available are the Transition XTRActive lenses. These lenses are designed for extra light protection and reach the lowest visible light transmission (VLT) levels of any Transition lens type. They get darker than standard Transition Signature lenses, making them ideal for bright outdoor environments and for people who are highly light-sensitive. The XTRActive Polarized option goes a step further by combining darkness with polarization to reduce glare and enhance clarity in high-glare settings.

Yes, you can add a mirror coating to certain Transition Signature and XTRActive lenses. At RX-Safety, we offer several mirror finish options that enhance both the appearance and performance of your lenses by reducing glare and increasing light reflection. Mirror coatings are available in colors like silver, blue, red, and gold—perfect for those who want added style and functionality in their Transition safety glasses. Just select the mirror option during the lens customization process at checkout.
