A new vision experience: ILS
In the summer sun, polarised lenses to combat intense light and glare are essential, yet often not considered until it is too late.
As technology advances, photochromic lenses become the benchmark. When UV hits, these lenses react: in sunlight, they darken, and become polarised outdoors, and in softer light, lighten.
The Transitions XTRActive Polarised lenses at Christchurch’s Independent Lens Specialists (ILS) offer this protection for high-glare situations. Designed with the wearer in mind, these lenses are clear and slightly tinted indoors, and outside achieve a polarisation efficiency of up to 90%, putting them in the same standards as polarised sunglasses. If you are light-sensitive, or frequently exposed to intense light and reflective glare, a consultation with your optometrist should be at the top of your 2025 to-do list.
You will find them available from ILS and made in a high-tech laboratory right here in Christchurch, delivered to you within a week. “The unique polarisation technology reduces glare
outdoors, providing a better vision experience with sharpness, a larger field of view and bright, vivid colours,” co-founder Glenn Bolton explains.
