Course Description

Different types of light create challenges to our vision. In very demanding light situations, such as very bright light or reflective glare, our vision can be compromised, creating a poor experience. Exposure to these types of light conditions can also amplify daily eye fatigue, contributing to associated symptoms such as dry eyes, itchy eyes, headache, and eye strain. In the long term, repetitive exposure to intense light can create a cumulative effect and could have an impact on eye health. Transitions® XTRActive® Polarized™ lenses are uniquely designed to provide extra light protection for eyeglass wearers who are frequently exposed to bright light and reflective glare.
