I'm finding this thread very interesting. I've had two pairs of transition lenses. Both pairs have hardly darkened at all when I go outside (unless I take them off and hold them up to the sun). So I always end up taking them off and wearing proper sunglasses.

Also, my first pair of transition glasses actually started peeling .. whatever coating they use started peeling off. The first pair I purchased at Sears and the second pair at Walmart.

The posters on this thread have been very enthusiastic which makes me wonder ... are transition lenses purchased from an Optician really that different from ones purchased at an Optical Department of a department store?
