Transitions® GEN S™: the new generation of photochromic lenses
Designed to keep up with your lifestyle, Transitions® GEN S™ lenses go from clear indoors to dark outdoors in a flash — and quickly return to clarity once back inside. They provide 100% UVA/UVB protection, reduce glare, and add a bold style with 8 exclusive colors — including the brand-new Ruby.
At Visionet, France’s online optician, you can configure your GEN S™ lenses with authentic CE/FDA certified frames at the best price.

Who are Transitions® GEN S™ lenses for?
Urban commutes and active lifestyles — Move effortlessly from metro to street to office: GEN S™ reacts quickly to changing light, limiting glare outdoors and returning to clarity indoors.
Office and screens — Indoors, lenses remain transparent for long-lasting comfort at the computer. Step outside and they darken in seconds — no need to switch glasses.
Sports and leisure — Walking, cycling, café terraces: the tint adapts to ambient light to preserve a pleasant, contrasted perception. Choose from 8 colors to match your frame and style.
Light sensitivity — Helps reduce discomfort during sudden shade/sun transitions in the city or countryside. Your eyes work less; your vision stays stable.
Frequent driving — For stronger darkening behind the windshield, consider the Transitions XTRactive family (also available in polarized and mirrored). For a driving-dedicated solution, Transitions Drivewear combines adaptive tint with permanent polarization.
Style tip: add a fixed gradient tint (Super Style option) to your GEN S™ lenses for a fashionable urban look.
