Are These the Best Lenses for Meta Glasses Yet?
This video is a hands-on look at Lensology transition lenses for Meta glasses, with three options on the table: Gen S Grey, XTRActive Grey, and XTRActive Blue Mirror. The first thing that stood out was indoor clarity. Compared with the Apex-style photochromic lenses I had been using, these looked noticeably clearer before any UV testing even started.
The UV test focused on practical behavior: how quickly each lens darkened, how much tint they picked up after about two minutes, and how quickly they returned toward clear. The Gen S Grey seemed to clear fastest indoors, while the XTRActive options held onto tint longer, which makes sense for lenses designed to react in more lighting situations, including through a windshield.
The Blue Mirror pair ended up being the style pick for me. It did not turn the whole lens into a loud blue filter, but it added a blue-purple reflective look that gives Oakley Meta frames a little more personality. If you are choosing lenses for Meta glasses, this is the kind of comparison that matters: not just whether they get dark, but how clear they start, how fast they react, and whether the look still works when you are wearing them every day.
