Transitions Optical is expanding access to its Transitions Certification Program with refreshed education, updated content, and a broader range of live learning opportunities. The program enables eyecare professionals to earn or renew their Transitions Expert status through a combination of virtual and in‑person training experiences.

For 2026, eyecare professionals can participate in Transitions Certified Live event held at Vision Expo in Orlando, Florida on March 13, 2026 from 11:30 AM–1:00 PM. These sessions offer interactive education led by Transitions experts and hands‑on product demonstrations designed to deepen understanding of Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses. Participants receive a comprehensive set of benefits, including:

  • Official Transitions Expert Certificate
  • Transitions Expert lapel pin
  • One Transitions 8-lens demo box and Ruby logo plaque
  • Recognition as a Transitions Certified Provider on the Transitions.com store locator
  • Access to the Transitions Points Plus program, including merchandising tools and practice resources

Certification Options, Benefits, and What It Means for Your Practice

Professionals unable to attend in person can complete the program through the on‑demand Transitions Certification course, available at any time and accessible through Transitions.com/CertifiedLive. This option provides the same certification benefits in a flexible, self‑paced format.

Upon completion of either a live or virtual session, participants earn Transitions Expert status, valid for one year with the option to renew annually. When at least one member of an independent practice becomes a Transitions Expert, the practice receives Transitions Certified Provider designation, enhanced visibility on the Transitions.com locator, and access to additional tools and merchandising assets.

“Expanding our Certified Live events and on‑demand options allows us to bring practical, accessible education directly to eyecare professionals,” says Jasmin Johnson, Senior Marketing Manager, Transitions Optical. “Our goal is to ensure every Transitions Expert feels well‑supported and fully equipped to guide patients through the light‑intelligent lens experience.”
