Transitions Xtractive Polarised

[Robert_S]

Have you guys seen the new press releases around this product? I'm told it isn't transitions vantage, yet it sounds the same in every way, even down to the less than ideal 90% max polarisation.

Thoughts?

I just talked to someone in my lab about this on Friday. She said it should be way better than vantage. Better polarization and better color when inside. Vantage was that yellowish color and this should be more like a normal xtra active. Anxious to see what this is really like.

I didn't find vantage too bad? I didn't notice any yellowing and the max polarisation is the same on both products.

I think the transitions vantage have only one problem: it is a slow photochromic vs transitions classic or xtractive.

I never try the nupolar infinity grey but I think is a better product (but it is never 100% clear)

I hope in this new product if this will be clear or start from max 10-20% dark

It does, even gets to about 45% in the car, enough for the polarization to work. It gets very dark outside!

I wonder if it will come in high index. Vantage had a release date for 1.67 announced, then it was pushed back, then it was pushed back some more, then canceled.

I had the vantage in a pair of motorcycle sunnies...it was convenient. I am always hesitant when they say "fully clear"...

You have to read the fine print on what they mean by "fully clear". There is usually a materiel, temperature, and residual tint level listed somewhere, and it's never what any reasonable person would call "fully clear".

Methinks Fully clear applies as closely as “accurate measurements.”

Hmmm...my sample definitely looks a little yellowish to me compared to a more gray xtra active. Maybe my sample is just junk. Idk.

That would be an important and useful difference for sure.

Hopefully they don't incorporate the technology into the Transitions contact lenses. It's hard enough for me to keep up with the demand as it is!

[Lawman Nick]

Does this imply that you'd get the anti reflective properties of a polarized lens, even when its clear?
I never dispensed or talked to anybody about the Vantage. I was under the impression it was just a differently branded photo lens.
