Graphite Green Lenses
ESSILOR AND TRANSITIONS OPTICAL UNVEIL NEW PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES IN EXCLUSIVE GRAPHITE GREEN COLOR (Patented Color Science Technology Provides Natural Vision and True Color Perception)
In a joint effort, Essilor, the world’s leading manufacturer of optical lenses, and Transitions Optical have partnered to develop an exclusive product under a color science technology that provides an enhanced color and contrast experience through photochromic lenses. The new Crizal Transitions® SignatureTM lenses in the iconic graphite green color provide more natural vision, true color perception with excellent clarity and offer superior adaptive lens technology to patients around the world.
Using a method exclusively developed and patented, in collaboration with worldwide specialists in color vision2, the special dye formulation of graphite green results in truer color perception and better vision in variable and bright light conditions. Crizal Transitions Signature lenses are more responsive to changes in light. These lenses specifically provide immediate visual relief in more situations, are more reactive to indirect light and become darker than ever before, especially in warmer outdoor conditions.
“Our exclusive graphite green Crizal Transitions Signature lenses offer a superior way to see the world in a shade of green that helps things look natural, and Essilor is proud to partner with Transitions Optical to launch the latest in photo chromic lens technology,” said Dr Kyle Galias, Essilor Philippines Commercial Manager. “ These lenses also enhance contrast and reduce eye fatigue and strain—common issues as eyes try to overcompensate for poor perception of color.”
Crizal Transitions Signature lenses in graphite green were developed using two patented technologies: Chromatic Color Adaptation technology and Chromea7TM technology.
Chromatic Color Adaptation technology is a patented method used to evaluate tinted and photochromic lenses. Studies show that tinted lenses affect the transmission of color, and when looking through tinted lenses the human brain works to re-establish true colors as part of the natural function of the human visual system. The Chromatic Color Adaptation algorithm was used to assess various lens colors and resulted in the development of the graphite green color, which provides more natural vision and truer perception of colors through photochromic lenses.
Chromea7 is a breakthrough 8-dye molecular technology which enables Transitions Signature VII lenses to be more reactive to indirect light and more responsive in higher temperatures.
