T is for TRANSITIONS

Whether you call them "photogray" (gross), "light adaptive" or transitions.....whatever you do, don't call them progressives! Come join us for an EARLY morning edition of Opticians Unhinged while we break down transition lenses and even bust a few myths in the process. Guys, we recorded this episode THREE times. For the love of glasses, we hope it's worth it. We're here, we're unhinged and we're keepin it real despite technical difficulties! Enjoy yourselves Nerds, we did.
