There are a few cons of transitions lenses:
- They don't work in a car because the windshield blocks the UV rays that are necessary to initiate the lenses' darkening mechanism. However, some manufacturers currently have car-friendly lenses in the works. If you own a convertible you can ignore this point.
- Transitions lenses aren't polarized just yet. If you wear prescription eyeglasses and you are light sensitive, the lenses won't reduce the hard glare. On a positive note, this feature should be available in approximately 6 months. Several manufacturers do make polarized non-prescription lenses.
- You may have to take off your glasses for outdoor photos. Since the lenses darken as soon as you walk outside, your eyes will be obscured in pictures. If you're trying to cultivate the rock star look, you can add this to the pro column.

We think you will find many advantages in the polycarbonate material because it is the safest material that you will find in glasses. However, we understand that you may be hesitant to purchase transition lenses in safety glasses. The technology that is being used in transition lenses continues to improve. The transition lenses are now being created using lens material that is so lightweight that they can easily adjust to any lighting condition faster than you can walk outside, walk through the parking lot, and get into your car. The transition lenses can become dark or light to the smallest change in whatever environment you are in. You will not have to worry about your lenses being too light or too dark for the type of environment you are in.

What makes transition lenses transition?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochromic_lenshotochromic lenses are lenses that darken on exposure to UV radiation. Once the UV is removed (for example by walking indoors), the lenses will gradually return to their clear state. Photochromic lenses may be made of either glass or plastic. The glass version of this type of lenses was first developed by Corning in the 1960s. More recently, plastic versions of these lenses have been commercialized. The first of these was the Photolite lens sold in the early 1980s by American Optical Corporation. The first commercially successful plastic photochromic lens was introduced by Transitions Optical in 1991.[1] The glass version of these lenses achieve their photochromic properties through the embedding of microcrystalline silver halides (usually silver chloride), or molecules in a glass substrate. Plastic photochromic lenses rely on organic photochromic molecules (for example oxazines and naphthopyrans) to achieve the reversible darkening effect. The reason these lenses darken in sunlight but not indoors under artificial light, is that room light does not contain the UV (short wavelength light) found in sunlight. Automobile windows also block UV so these lenses would darken less in a car. Lenses that darken in response to visible (rather than UV) light would avoid these issues, but they are not feasible for most applications. In order to respond to visible light, it is necessary to absorb it, thus the glass could not be made to be clear in its low-light state.
