Stop the Sun Glare
Sunglasses may be a hot fashion accessory, but their most important function is to protect your eyes from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays – even on cloudy days. Plus, harsh glare on water, snow, and even buildings can impact your vision. A good pair of sunglasses can shield your eyes and help keep them healthy. And with a wide variety of styles available, you can choose a pair that matches your personal look!
UV rays contribute to many eye health and vision problems, including cataracts and retinal damage. Quality sunglasses that screen out 100% of the sun's UV rays will offer the best protection for your eyes while enhancing your visual performance.
POLARIZED LENSES are the top pick for eliminating glare and come in several colors and densities. Polarization eases eye stress and fatigue in the sun.
TINTED LENSES come in a rainbow of color options from light to very dark. Tints can be solid through the whole lens or gradient.
MIRRORED LENSES not only look cool, they are cool. Mirrored coatings provide a reflective surface that makes the eye virtually invisible to viewers.
All of our SUNGLASSES offer 100% UV protection.
With many different lens options available, we can customize your sun lenses to meet your needs. Most people spend several hours a day driving their car to and from work. Sunglasses specifically designed to meet your visual needs behind the wheel of a car will feature polarized lenses that reduce glare and make it easier to see.
There have been a number of studies that show glare as the cause of several automobile accidents, with drivers declaring that they couldn't see the other car because of the glare coming off of the road, or the sun shining in their eyes. Polarized lenses reduce glare and make it easier to see in any situation where there may be glare.
Sunwear tinted specifically for driving, increases contrast and also makes it easier to see. Prescription eyewear for driving will include your distance prescription and should have an anti-reflective coating. This special coating will reduce the glare and starburst effect surrounding lights at night, making it easier to see. To learn more about anti-reflection lenses see the related article.
When choosing your sunglasses, don't forget about fashion! With so many fashion images to choose from, many people purchase multiple pairs of sunglasses to suit different occasions. Our optical centers offer prescription and nonprescription sunglasses in a wide variety of styles and designer brands.
