^Interesting! I think my transitions glasses look pretty normal though. :))
Since this thread has been resurrected, I'm happy to put in another report. I'm still using those same transitions glasses that I bought in 2014. So I think it was AUD$150 well spent and when I eventually need to replace them, I will probably get transitions again. The only con about them for me is that sometimes I look a bit shady indoors for a bit (if I just arrived from outside, or if the indoor area has lots of natural light). But I'm willing to put up with that because other than that it has made protecting my eyes a breeze. As a lazy person who prefers not to carry around extra items or fiddle around with changing my eyewear according to weather conditions, this appears to be the right choice for me! Hopefully I can squeeze at least another year out of them.
