Sunglasses

Mau Jim SunglassesGood sunglasses are so important to protect your eyes and to be comfortable in bright conditions. We can help you enjoy the sun in different ways.

Whatever your prescription, it is important to protect the eyes against excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Protection is needed to avoid reflected light from sand and snow or if you spend long periods out of doors, particularly in the summer.

Prescription sunglasses

We have teamed up with several manufacturers to offer to our patients an excellent range of prescription sunglasses from only £89. These offer the same standard of protection as non-prescription sunglasses.
There are lots of styles and shapes to choose from – you are sure to find a style you like!

We can even offer bifocal or varifocals as well – just what you need when out in the sun – or when you are reading and relaxing outside.

Photochromic lenses

Photochromic lenses are lenses that change their colour according to light conditions. When exposed to sunlight they darken quickly to eliminate glare and to protect the eyes against UV. These lenses are generally nearly clear when it is dark.

Why wear photochromic lenses?

Many people wear these lenses and find them convenient, as they automatically darken in the sunshine and can avoid the need for you to carry prescription sunglasses. Modern photochromic materials react and fade quickly, suit most prescriptions and are now more likely to be made in lightweight plastic than glass.

Why not have your spectacles made in Transitions® - the latest in photochromic technology. Great for outside but also great for normal every day wear. They now change from light to dark in approx 20 seconds.

Polarised lenses

Polarising lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare from horizontal surfaces such as roads, water and snow. They give improved vision and comfort with 100% UV protection and are ideal for driving, water sports and fishing. More information.
