I don't buy brand names (that I know of). Maybe they are "brand
names" but they aren't names that rings a bell with me. My frames are
firmly in the $100 +/- category. I simply can't make myself pay more
for a frame. If I found one I couldn't live without, of course I
would pay more - but I always find something I like/love within my
self-imposed price range.

I always get the frames with springs. They last longer and don't need
adjusting.

My car is a two year old Mercedes C class with factory glass and my
transitions have no trouble transitioning.

I'm another fan of Transitions. Been wearing them for many years. I
would always leave my sunglasses on the seat of the car and then sit on
them and break them. Transitions solved that problem.

They don't solve the problem of blurry oncoming headlights. I think
that's caused by oncoming cataracts.

How did you transfer little tidbit of information over to transition
glasses? My glasses work just fine in my car. If the car's UV window
protection keeps them from turning even darker, why is that a problem?

Please do bestow your oh so uninformed opinion on the unwashed masses.

It's not my opinion - it's a fact. My Transitions - new this year-don't
darken in either of my cars. I asked the optometrist about that and he
told me about the glass in the cars. I researched it online and found
the same information and ended u buying real sunglasses.

When I get into the car, they lighten and stay that way even on a sunny
day. If I roll the driver's window down I have seen the left lens
darken and the right stay clear if the sun hits them right. This is all
over the internet and even on their own website so check it our before
you start attacking me, or anyone else.

Maybe you don't have much UV protection in your car windows. Mine don't
change, but the windshield has just enough tint to be comfortable. They
have not changed in the last five cars that I can recall.

Maybe this will help...

No, your Transition lenses are working just fine. They simply can’t
react to a light source that is not present, and in an automobile, most
of that UV light has already been taken out of the equation. You may
notice some darkening of your lenses while in your car; this is because
in typical automotive applications, only the windshield blocks a high
percentage of UV light. Side and rear glass is rarely laminated, so
while it has some UV-blocking properties, it also lets a good deal of
ultraviolet light spill through. And, of course, open windows allow in
some ambient UV light, sometimes enough for your Transitions to react.

You can't impress me with your cars because I have absolutely no idea
what they are without looking them up. Why are you blaming your
transition lenses when the real claim is the UV in your standard car
windows are working as they should?

I don't need to check the internet to decide you're weird. Your car
windows have great UV protection and you're saying your lenses don't
work. What kind of logic is that? They don't turn into sunglasses
because they don't need to. You seem to have lots of disposable
income, so if you want to wear sunglasses, buy yourself a pair and
wear them. Knock yourself out and buy designer glasses while you're
at it just so you can name the brand here.

George has been buying his glasses from Zenni for almost 9 years, he
just got a new pair of glasses and his sunshades are currently being
made right now.

Women like fashion, so it is nice to have an inexpensive place like
Zenni, where you can buy different styles of glasses to suit you.

Others are claiming they don't affect their Transitions glasses. A
2012 C-Class was mentioned so I only listed my cars for reference. I
have no desire to "impress" you or anyone else here.

You missed the point. I have sunglasses. Others are saying their
Transitions lenses work in their cars. Mine don't. They don't work in
my friends 2009 F-150 either.

I looked it up and there are different kinds of Transitions lenses. Some
are made specifically for sunglasses.

That could be why we are seeing differences?

I do remember a person telling me this when I got my glasses that they
wouldn't work in a car. I told her that mine always did. And they still
seem to. Now it could be that it is the UV protection that doesn't work but
they do get dark and that's all that matters for me. If the car has UV
protection built in... Right?

It still won't stop some people saying only they are right and everyone else

How do you know the UV protection isn't working? If they're getting
dark the UV protection is working.

I don't know about that. You can get cheap sunglasses with no UV protection
but it all seems a moot point if the car has it anyway.

I like tints and don't want them to change. I just don't like clear lenses.

That's how photochromic lenses work.

Yes to both points (especially the one about the problem being moot if
the car's UV is doing such a good job that the glasses don't
activate), but neither answers how s/he knows that the UV protection
isn't working even though they are changing color anyway.
