A ll eyes are on the hottest new lens technology as 2014 marks the release of several exciting new products. Leading the way is the highly anticipated Signature VII from Transitions featuring Chromea7 technology. The lenses are designed to react faster to changes in light and provide wearers with a better visual experience. “We know that a patient’s needs vary and that they want to have choices. One size does not fit all so we continue to focus on the family of products,” said Senior Development Engineer Mickey Matson. The Chromea7 Technology offers an exclusive dye formulation that allows lenses to be more responsive in a variety of lighting conditions. The colour hues are also more aesthetically pleasing than its predecessor the Transitions VI. The grey is a more neutral hue, offering true-to-life colour, while the brown filters out more of the blue-indigoviolet colour which is found in scattered light. It also helps better perceive reds and greens through enhanced contrast. Mat ͽ
