Summer travel is about packing light, staying flexible, and feeling great. Whether you’re heading to a beachside getaway, a weekend up north, or just out and about enjoying long sunny days in Northern Michigan, one accessory can make your travel experience much easier, Rx transition lenses.

Here’s why transition lenses deserve a spot at the top of your summer packing list:

One Pair, Day to Night

Transition lenses automatically adjust to changing light, darkening outdoors in the sun, and returning to clear indoors. Are you stuck stacking your prescription glasses and sunglasses? Say goodbye to those days as you move from brunch to beach to bonfire. Just one pair does it all.

Lightweight Luggage

Let’s face it, overpacking is a struggle. Transition lenses save space by eliminating the need for a second pair of glasses in your bag. One sleek case, one smart solution, and more room for the fun stuff (like your favorite vacation snacks or an extra swimsuit).

Always UV-Protected

Transition lenses don’t just change tint; they protect your eyes, too. They block UVA and UVB rays, helping reduce the risk of long-term sun damage. Whether you’re sightseeing, biking the trails, or boating on the bay, your eyes are covered.

Perfect for Spontaneous Plans

When your summer days are full of surprises, sunrise hikes, late lunches, or unplanned lake stops, you don’t always have time to swap accessories. Transition lenses adapt on the go, so you’re ready no matter where the adventure takes you.

Style That Travels Well

Transition lenses work with all your favorite styles, from bold and trendy frames to classic, understated looks. At The Sunglass Shoppe, we carry an abundance of collections that pair beautifully with Rx transitions, so you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for function.
