After a lot of corporate activity on the industry side of the business in 2011 there were big expectations for 2012.
News that Bausch & Lomb's ownership may be changing got 2013 off to a rip-roaring start and just days later we hear that PPG and Essilor are talking about the future of Transitions.
The two have shared ownership of the variable tint technology for some time now but no indication has been given of why a renegotiation is needed or who may end up controlling more of the Florida-based lens dyer.
Talks may take some months say a source but perhaps this heralds some big changes ahead in 2013.
