Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, but their most important job is to protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are not only harmful to your skin, but also to your eyes, and extended exposure has been linked to cataracts and macular degeneration. The ideal pair of sunglasses is made from high quality materials that can block 99-100 percent of UV rays. Many drugstore and knock-off sunglasses lack full UV protection and won’t fully protect your eyes. In addition to blocking UV, you may also want a pair of sunglasses that have polarized lenses. Polarized lenses reduce reflections from surfaces such as water and snow, helping to eliminate glare and improve comfort.

Prescription sunglasses….

Even if you are a contact lens wearer, you should still wear sunglasses when you’re outdoors. Some contact lenses do offer UV protection, however, they only shield the area covered by the contact. This leaves other delicate tissues in and around the eye exposed. Being a contact lens wearer gives you the flexibility to choose from all non-prescription sunglasses.

We offer quality frames and authentic sunglass lenses personalized to your prescription from top brands. Our opticians can help you choose the lenses best suited to your needs.
