Everyone likes the idea of getting more. The concept of squeezing as much as possible into or out of anything appeals to the value seeker in us all. McDonald’s® figured this out decades ago when the concept of an ordinary value meal no longer satisfied the masses. “Supersize it” became an instinctive add-on to your order of a “number 3 with a Coke.” After all, a meal’s not a meal without 32 extra ounces of soda and enough fries to fill a Fiat, right?  

But other that an extra helping of calories and a massive sugar crash two hours later, what’ do you get out of adding and adding and adding?  Often, piling on more doesn’t yield much benefit, and can do more harm than good.
​
Here’s the point where we connect a value meal to a light-reactive lens.  

Welcome to the third and final installment of our ultimate guide series on light-reactive lenses. In part one we covered standard photochromics before shifting to extra-active photochromics in part two. In part three we’re going to look at a new and exciting category of light-reactive lenses that only came into existence in October 2018.

SunSync Elite received the “Award of Excellence” in the “Lens Coating” category at July’s OMEGA=19 optical tradeshow in Australia.

If someone were to ask your professional opinion on the perfect lens to enhance with a photochromic, you wouldn’t be alone or incorrect in responding, “progressive, bifocal, or single vision.” With all the benefits of light-reactive lenses, they’re a natural fit for everyday eyewear options. But, there’s another lens type that’s so perfectly suited for a light-reactive enhancement, it’s surprising more eye care professionals don’t utilize it as a fantastic second-pair recommendation.

In part one of this three-part series, we took an in-depth look at standard light-reactive lenses . In this second installment, we’ll be covering their extra-active associates.
