This month, 20/20, the prominent optical industry magazine, is highlighting the SunSync® Light-Reactive Lenses portfolio in a front-page feature named "Welcome to the Golden Age of Photochromics."

Since its debut, we’ve been telling you how fast SunSync Elite is. But, as the old saying goes, seeing is believing. So, we figured we’d show you exactly how much faster this revolutionary light-reactive lens fades back than the top-selling photochromic in this dramatic video comparison. 

In a recent VSP provider survey,* eye care professionals (ECP) were asked for their opinions on SunSync Drive XT, the light-reactive lenses that get darker outdoors and stay dark in the car. From ECP experience to patient satisfaction, SunSync’s extra reactive lenses earned high marks among industry pros. 

​Winter is here. That means warm mugs of cocoa, frosty window panes, early sunsets, and dreams of hibernation.

​But it also means a variety of optical challenges for your patients.  Finding one lens to meet these diverse needs of the season has historically presented challenges for eye care professionals. However, a revolutionary, new category of light-reactive lenses now offers you and your patients a single solution, with specific benefits for each season. 

SunSync Drive XT offers round-the-clock comfort, clarity, and convenience whether at home, in the office, or on the road. But when is it dark? When is it clear? And how dark and clear does it get in each environment? This infographic answers all of those questions and more.*  

​Since its debut in March, SunSync Drive XT has generated a ton of interest from patients excited to learn more about this new, extra reactive lens that works in the car. We figure, if we’re getting inquiries, you probably are too. So, we’ve pulled together five of the most common questions we've received from patients and provided ready-to-use responses for each.

The word “workplace” can mean different things to different people. A recent shift to more gig economy jobs – or the kind of short-term, contracted, “be your own boss” jobs that are ticking up gradually – means the workplace can be anywhere. Even in your car.

Photochromics are a great choice for a variety of your patients. But sometimes, picking the right frame for a light-reactive lens can be a bit tricky. As an optician, your patients look to you to put them in a pair of glasses that fit right, suit their lifestyle, and of course, help them see better.

To help you help them, we asked 20-year optical veteran Chris Nichols, ABO, for her advice on selecting the ideal frame for a photochromic.
