• Office: Many people earning a living in the modern-day office environment are out of office almost as much as in. Whether racing to a meeting or stepping out for a quick bite, office workers are on the go a lot throughout the day and need their eyewear to keep up. A fast-acting lens means stepping into a big presentation confidently, rather than worrying if the audience is thinking they forgot to remove their sunglasses.", "Lifestyle:

\n
\nAmbient temperature is the main influence on reaction speed, so that should be your starting point. Hotter temperatures result in slightly lighter outdoor color and faster fade-back speed, whereas colder temps slow down fade-back rates but increase outdoor darkness. From there, you can discuss other environmental factors related to temperature including:" }, { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Article", "datePublished" : "2019-08-22", "image" : "https://www.sunsynclenses.com/uploads/6/3/2/9/63296783/globe_orig.jpg", "articleBody" : "Geography: Southern states that are closer to the equator receive more UV and hotter temperatures, so these regions would enjoy the benefit of quicker fade-back speed.

Seeing one lens return to clear in less than 60 seconds while the other remains tinted for several more minutes is often all a patient needs to say yes to an ultra-fast photochromic.

\nDig into the Deeper Benefits: Pointing out the deeper benefits of ultra-fast, fade-back speed helps to transition a patient from wanting these lenses to needing them. Primarily, people are looking for four things out of life: more money, time, convenience, and confidence. Ultra-fast photochromics offer each:\n\n

\n
• Money: With a longer performance lifespan, patients won’t have to dig into their pocket as frequently for a new pair. Again, that seems like a financial hit for the practice, but in the long-term, it contributes to happier, repeat patients and referrals.
\n\n
• Also, because they’re a great multipurpose option for younger patients, parents won’t have to fork out more money when a child loses track of a second pair.", "Time: When you’re not waiting around for your lenses to clear up, you can go about your day without delays. From shopping for food to meeting with clients to grabbing a bite, having a light-reactive lens that comes as close to changing on the fly as possible puts more time back into a person’s daily life.
\n\n
• Convenience: Serving both indoor and outdoor purposes, these lenses are an exceptionally convenient offering.
\n\n
• Confidence: Let’s face it, when we look better, we feel better about ourselves. Getting stuck in that lingering, half-tinted phase doesn’t look great and doesn’t do our self-confidence any favors. By clearing up quickly indoors, your patients look great and feel more confident in their appearance whether they’re on a date, in an interview, or out with friends." ] }, { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Article", "datePublished" : "2019-08-22", "image" : "https://www.sunsynclenses.com/uploads/6/3/2/9/63296783/ultimate-guide-ultra-fast_orig.jpg", "articleSection" : "Wrapping it Up", "articleBody" : "Offering revolutionary advances in technology and performance, ultra-fast, light-reactive lenses are a perfect recommendation for current and previous photochromic wearers, as well as those who’ve been reluctant to try light-reactive lenses in the past.
