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.

Friendly and professional eye care!

I highly recommend this place. I never had eye problems, but an idiotic event caused me pain and had... to find an eye doctor. I found them and booked an appt. The next day I called to ask if I can come earlier based on my discomfort and they got me in an hour earlier. The entire staff was so helpful and quick to respond to my emergency. Dr. Shan Ma was so kind, gentle and quick to help me as well. They also have a very fast setup online. Really great experience all around.

This place is next level and so wonderful! The doctors and technicians are so caring and you make yo... u feel at ease. My mom and I both go there. My mom has type 2 diabetes and eye exams weren’t easy for her. After meeting Dr Straube, the visit feels like a walk in the park. So personal and informative. She greets you with a smile and really takes her time. You never feel rushed or afraid. Today after my exam I walked away with a detailed plan I can follow right away. Compared to any previous eye docs, I’ve never felt this confident about my eye routine. With deep gratitude! I’m sending all my friends to your practice 🙂 ps: all the eye docs here are excellent and they are a great team together!
