TORRANCE, CA — Drivewear^® Activated by Transitions^® lenses are now available in single vision polycarbonate.  “Drivewear in Polycarbonate has been the number one request since Drivewear was introduced, and we are excited to announce its release,” said David Rips, President and CEO of Younger Optics. Eyecare professionals and patients can now take advantage of the high impact resistance and higher index polycarbonate offers.  Drivewear is also available in hard resin plano, single vision, Flat Top 28 bifocals and Younger’s IMAGE^® progressive.   

Drivewear lenses uniquely combine two of the most advanced technologies found in the eyeglass industry today: Transitions™ Photochromic Technology and NuPolar^® polarization.  Designed specifically to meet the unique visual demands of the driving task, Drivewear is the first polarized photochromic lens to darken behind the windshield of a car which allows Drivewear lenses to change color based on current driving conditions in order to enhance the driver’s vision.  In addition, Drivewear lenses are polarized to block blinding glare, another distinct advantage when driving a car.

Younger Optics is headquartered in Torrance, CA, and is recognized as the world leader in prescription polarized lenses with its NuPolar® brand. For more information about Younger Optics, NuPolar lenses and other products, visit the company’s web site at www.youngeroptics.com.
