Select TD2 Super ToughNext: Step 5 · Coatings & available extras
Is this right for me?

For customers who prioritize extra scratch resistance over an anti-glare finish.

TD2 focuses on a tougher scratch-resistant surface. It does not include anti-glare coating in this package, so reflections can be more noticeable than with Standard or Crizal. All our lenses already include scratch-resistant coating; TD2 is an upgrade, not the only way to get it. No lens is scratch-proof.

Light-adaptive lenses

One pair for changing light.

Clear indoors · dark outdoors

Transitions®

Light-adaptive lenses that darken in outdoor sunlight and return toward clear indoors, so one pair can follow you through your day.

  • Automatically adjusts to outdoor light
  • Clear-to-dark photochromic lenses
  • Anti-glare coating included

Select Transitions®Next: Step 5 · Coatings & available extras
Is this right for me?

For frequent trips between indoors and outdoors, without switching glasses each time.

Photochromic lenses respond to light rather than staying permanently tinted. Their darkness and the speed of change depend on temperature, light exposure and lens material. Performance behind a car windshield varies by Transitions product. Check the available series and colours in the next step if driving performance is important to you.

Prescription sunglasses

Even colour throughout

Select Solid tintNext: Step 5 · Coatings & available extras
Is this right for me?

For a dedicated pair of everyday prescription sunglasses.

A solid tint stays tinted indoors and outdoors. Choose your preferred colour and shade from the available options in the next step. This is a straightforward sunglasses look with even shading across the lens; tint alone does not mean the lens is polarized.

Darker top · lighter bottom

Gradient tint sunglasses finish illustration

Gradient tint sunglasses

A gradual fade from a darker upper lens to a lighter lower lens for a softer sunglasses look.

  • More shading at the top
  • Lighter tint toward the bottom
  • UV protection included

Select Gradient tintNext: Step 5 · Coatings & available extras
Is this right for me?

For a softer tinted look with a lighter view through the lower part of the lens.

Gradient tint creates a fixed colour fade rather than changing with sunlight. The darker upper area shades your view while the lower area lets more light through. The colour gradient does not create or change prescription viewing zones; you keep the lens design selected in the earlier steps.

Reflective colour finish

Mirrored sunglasses

Prescription sunglasses with a reflective outer finish for a bold, distinctive look.

  • Mirror finish on the front surface
  • Colour choices available
  • UV protection included

Select MirroredNext: Step 5 · Coatings & available extras
Is this right for me?

For a statement sunglasses finish with your distance prescription.

A mirror coating adds a reflective finish to the outside of a tinted lens. The colour people see on the front can differ from the colour you look through. Review the available finishes in the next step. A mirror finish does not automatically make a lens polarized.

Pictures illustrate lens finishes. Actual colour, appearance and tint vary with the selected options and lighting.

Prices are in Canadian dollars per pair and include your selected lens index. Optional coatings and upgrades may add to the price. Review the final product and options before ordering.

A little help choosing.

How do these clear-lens options differ?

TD2 offers extra scratch resistance without anti-glare coating in this package. Crizal anti-glare and easy-clean coating is included with the Premium Varilux clear option.

Transitions or sunglasses: which suits my day?

Transitions lenses adapt to outdoor light and return toward clear indoors. Solid, gradient and mirrored sunglasses stay tinted, making them dedicated sun options. If use in the car is a priority, check the specific Transitions series and its driving performance before choosing.

What is the difference between tint, mirror and polarization?

A tint reduces brightness. A gradient changes the depth of tint from top to bottom. A mirror is a reflective outer finish. Polarization is a separate feature that reduces certain reflected glare; do not assume a lens is polarized just because it is dark or mirrored. Check the options listed on the next page.

What happens after I select a lens type?

You’ll open the matching product for your Essilor Premium Varilux lenses and selected 1.50 index. Review the available coatings, colours and extras, then complete the requested prescription and frame details. Available options depend on the lens type you choose.

What else comes with my lenses?

Each listed package includes a pair of replacement lenses, scratch-resistant coating, a hard case and a cleaning cloth. Additional included features vary by package. Review the matching product details and current shipping terms before placing your order.
