Mike Tobia, director of
product for the premium lens
manufacturer Dragon Alliance,
says a major focus for the
company this year is on innovative lens technologies that
improve the wearers' visual
performance in changing
light and weather conditions.
“It’s a natural move to expand
our lens product availability
with Transitions Optical because our customers need the
industry leading photochromic
lens technology in order to
have a better day on the
slopes,” he says.
“Simply put, more colour
options means we are increasing state-of-the-art technology
options for our customers.”

The lenses also feature a special
snow formulation that
minimizes the temperature
sensitivity found in other
photochromic lens products,
particularly in extreme temperatures, Transitions says.
“Both skiers and snowboarders struggle with the constant
changing weather and light
conditions throughout the
day. While regular snow goggles can sometimes be too
dark or not dark enough, the
special snow formulation in
Transitions adaptive goggle
lenses allows for an optimal
visual experience on the
slopes,” says Larissa Bryan,
