The price of Transitions lenses is set by the retail store or eyecare professional's office where you purchase your lenses. Transitions lenses are only one part of your total lens and eyeglass purchase, and many practices offer discounts when you purchase Transitions lenses with other premium lens or frame options.


The final price depends on the lens material, your prescription, any features you add and which Transitions brand lens product you choose.


Check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage before your exam. Most leading vision care plans—such as Anthem, EyeMed, VSP, and Versant Health's Davis and Superior plans—cover Transitions lenses for a fixed co-pay that may vary based on your plan's details. And some offer Transitions lenses to kids for free.


Enrolling in a vision benefits plan that covers a comprehensive eye exam and premium lenses like Transitions that protect your sight is important to help maintain good eye and overall health. Annual eye exams can help to detect many common eye conditions and can also be the first step in diagnosing serious overall health conditions, like diabetes and high blood pressure.


The cost of protecting your sight is low compared to the cost of eye and health problems that can impact your life.

FACTORS INFLUENCING PRICING OF TRANSITIONS LENSES

LENS MATERIAL

Do you need impact resistant lenses or ultra-thin ones (especially if you have a high prescription)? Or do standard plastic lenses work just fine for you?

COATINGS

Do you need an anti-reflective coating for reducing reflections from the front of your lenses, reducing glare from headlights, streetlights, computers or TV screens? Do you want scratch resistance for sports?

LENS TYPE

Do you need lenses just for reading? Do you need a single distance vision correction or a multi-focus one?

TRANSITIONS SELECTION

Do you need darker lenses for extra protection? Or do you want polarization that adjusts to match the level of outdoor glare for crisper, sharper vision outdoors?

EYE EXAMS CAN HELP SAVE YOUR SIGHT

Common eye diseases that can be detected through an eye exam include:

CATARACT

The leading cause of vision impairment, cataract occurs when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. As you age, your risk for developing cataract can increase. Other risk factors include family history, ethnicity, smoking and sun exposure.

GLAUCOMA

Also commonly known as the silent thief of sight—glaucoma usually has little or no early warning signs. People with glaucoma gradually lose their peripheral (side) vision. Initial symptoms can range from blurred vision and headaches to no symptoms at all. Age, family history and ethnicity can all increase risk.

AMD

AMD painlessly destroys sharp, central vision. It is the leading cause of blindness among Caucasian Americans over the age of 40. While anyone can be affected by AMD, it is more common among women. Additionally, long term exposure to harmful blue light has been linked to increased risk of developing AMDi.
