a transition contact lens?

Hi bhess25,
The concept has been out there for quite a while but I do not know when a manufacturer will launch a product.

Our core business is lenses and that is what we concentrate on.

It's my understanding that the absorbtion depth required for transitions is much higher than the thickness of the contact. Not to mention it's probably not a safe thing to have in the eye.

Now if they were to come up with a reverse action transition material (one that gets darker when it is darker, it sure would be a plus for artificial eye pupils as they would appear to get smaller in bright light and larger in poor light.
