It has been a year of significant technological advances in the
eyewear industry. None more so than at Transitions Optical which
released their latest offering in lens technology, Transitions®
Signature™ VII. Featuring Chromea7™ technology, these
lenses are the most advanced
adaptive technology to date.
Officially
announced
at
Transitions Academy in January
of 2014, at Walt Disney World
in Florida, the Transitions
team made learning about
Transitions® Signature™ VII fun
and educational. Those in attendance
were quick to see the difference this new technology has
made for the Transitions wearer by enabling lenses to adapt to
lighting conditions faster and returns to a clear state in less time.
In this special issue we talk with the people who make up the Transitions®
lens family as they share their experiences in research and development and
bringing the eyewear to the customer. You will meet Senior Development Engineer
Mickey Matson who will help you understand the way this type of technology is developed.
Learn about the commitment and dedication of Transitions Optical team members as they
strive to create a new, more innovative lens experience for wearers.
Step into the kitchen of Robert Irvine as he shares how Transitions® lenses have changed
his life and why he is proud to be a Transitions ambassador for a second year.
Finally read about how this year’s Canadian Eyecare Professional of the Year Wael
Yassein has helped his patients discover the benefits of Transitions eyewear. Through
dedication and commitment to helping people see better, Yassein has transformed the lives
of countless people. Focusing on care rather than numbers, his efforts were recognized by
his peers earlier this year.
As you read this issue you will see how Transitions is more than just eyewear, but a
community of dedicated scientists, team members and opticians who want to ensure that
every customer experiences ’Life well lit™’.
