Sunglasses FAQs

What are the benefits of photochromic sunglasses?

Photochromic lenses (with or without prescription) adjust to brightness. They darken as you step outside on a sunny day and get lighter when you go indoors. This means that you can wear the same glasses everywhere without having to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses.

Are sunglass lens coatings worth it?

While sunglasses provide plenty of protection for your eyes, lens coatings add even more benefits. You can choose anti-reflective coatings to cut down on glare and make driving safer. Tinted sunglasses can help you see colors and detail more distinctly. Scratch-resistant coatings help prevent damage so you can enjoy your shades for longer.

Is it OK to wear sunglasses with contacts?

Unless your contact lenses provide 100% UV protection — most don’t — always remember to don your sunglasses before heading outdoors. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection screen out harmful rays and winds that tend to dry out your eyes more quickly. This is good news for contact lens wearers who run the risk of developing dry eye symptoms.

How to tell if sunglasses have UV protection?

To make sure that your sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, make sure to purchase your shades from a licensed optometrist.

How Do I Choose the Right Sunglasses?

To select your perfect sunglasses, consider the following:

  • Frames

    You want your sunglasses to last, so choose durable, high-quality frames. Whether you choose plastic, acetate, aluminum, stainless steel or even wooden frames, make sure that the frames fit well, look good, and are comfortable to wear.

  • Lenses

    Lenses correct your vision, protect your eyes and enhance your style. Always choose lenses that screen out 100% of UV rays. You can also choose special features like anti-glare, polarized shades or tints. To prevent damage, select durable lenses.

  • Shape

    Sunglass shapes not only express your unique style; they provide a protective barrier against the elements. Wrap-around sunglasses shield your eyes from wind and flying debris. The right frames also complement your face and help you bring your best features forward.

  • Prescription

    Once you’ve undergone an eye exam, you can purchase sunglasses with the same prescription as your regular glasses. Wearing prescription sunglasses allows you to enjoy the outdoors while protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays.

**Amended, I was called and my situation was discussed, options were provided, and ultimately they h... ave done what they could to make it right. That is service one can appreciate. The initial exam and everything was great. The doctor who saw to me was fantastic. Everything else, not great. I went in wanting contacts. I said it every chance I could get, but mentioned I was cautious because the last time I tried them (over a decade ago), it didn't go well. This place was recommended to me by someone who experienced the same thing I did with contacts and said they were great. I was given sample packs to check out, and then that was it in terms of the contacts. No instructions on how to use them (I did my research and got them to work), no questions about going forward with them, nothing. I was, in my opinion, rushed to pick out glasses which I specified was my second choice. Then nothing was really explained in that process, all these options were chosen (if I'm being fair I probably would have chose them anyway) but nothing was discussed in terms of pricing or if I choose glasses, I won't be allowed to use my insurance against my contacts purchase, and on top of that it was nearly $700.00. I should have stopped the whole process but I haven't had an opportunity to go to an eye physician since 2017. As much as I liked the doctor, I won't be going back. When I picked up my glasses and asked about the contacts part, it seemed like the blame was being put on me. They weren't malicious per se, but very passively it seemed like they were saying it was my fault I didn't get contacts and then told me after all that about the part where I couldn't get contacts as well. Plus, I never received a contact prescription either nor was I fitted for any so it's not like I can just go buy them myself without likely having to fork over more money. I rarely ever give a negative review but this one I feel is earned.
