Request an AppointmentWhy Quality Sunglasses Matter
Sunglasses do more than complete your look. Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun can damage the eyes over time and is linked to a higher risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and growths on the surface of the eye. While all tinted lenses reduce brightness, some protect your eyes much better than others. Lenses that block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays are the best option.
Features to Look For
- 100% UV protection – The most important feature for long-term eye health.
- Polarized lenses – Reduce glare from water, snow, and roads, making them ideal for driving and outdoor activities.
- Lens tint – Gray, brown, and green tints each affect contrast and color perception differently.
- Impact resistance – Important for active lifestyles and sports.
- Wraparound styles – Block light and wind from the sides, helpful for patients with dry eye.
Prescription Sunglasses
Prescription lenses can be applied to most sunglasses, so you can see clearly outdoors whether you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or need progressive lenses. If you wear contact lenses, non-prescription sunglasses add UV protection and comfort. Make sure your prescription is current with a comprehensive eye exam.
Styles for Every Face and Lifestyle
Although sunglasses can be expensive, there are many affordable brands that provide great protection from harmful sunlight. We offer a variety of options that fit your face comfortably and let you enjoy warm weather in style, and we can help you order a specific brand if we do not have it in the store. Our team will help you choose a frame shape and lens type that suits your lifestyle, just as we do with our designer frames. Sunglasses are also a smart choice after dilation or for light sensitivity from conditions like keratoconus. Check our specials for current eyewear offers.
