Sunglasses

Sunglasses are more than just a fashion accessory; they play a crucial role in protecting our eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to various eye conditions, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis. Sunglasses act as a shield, blocking a significant portion of UV rays and preventing potential damage to the eyes.

Beyond UV protection, sunglasses also help reduce glare, especially in bright sunlight or when surrounded by reflective surfaces like water or snow. This glare reduction enhances visibility, making activities like driving or outdoor sports safer and more comfortable. Additionally, sunglasses shield the eyes from debris, dust, and wind, preventing irritation and discomfort.

Wearing sunglasses is a proactive measure for long-term eye health, contributing to the prevention of conditions that could compromise vision. They are an essential tool for maintaining eye comfort, safeguarding against environmental hazards, and promoting overall well-being in the face of varying light conditions.

PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES

We stock lots of designer brands which can be made up to your individual prescription. They can carry single vision, bifocal or varifocal lenses. They are also available with photochromic lenses, which have a light tint indoors, yet darken in sunlight. Modern photochromic sunglasses are comfortable to wear because they are made with fast-reacting, lightweight plastic lenses.

STYLES OF SUNGLASSES

Specific situations sometime call for specific styles of sunglasses. If you are keen on sports such as golf, cycling or watersports, or do a lot of driving there are particular frames and lenses which would help you see clearer in sunlight.
