Prescription lenses

Most of our range of sunglasses can have your lens prescription build in. This allows you to enjoy sunny days without having to deal with loss of vision. After your eye test, our dispensing opticians will discuss this with you and help guide you on the best prescription sunglasses for your lifestyle.

Polarized lenses

For an enhanced viewing experience, speak to one of our experts about polarized lenses in your sunglasses. Polarized lenses reduce glare that you often find comes from reflections off cars, water or snow. Along with this, you get colour enhancement that fight colour washout and reduce eye strain. Polarized lenses are perfect for boaters, beach use, winter sports and driving.

Lens tints

Depending on your sport, different lens tints can make a large impact on enhancing your vision and viewing experience. Altering lens tints can balance light transmission and improve depth perception and colour recognition, which are ideal for sports such as golf, skiing, and football. Ask one of our dispensing opticians about our range of sunglasses with changeable lens tints.

Photochromic lenses

Photochromic lenses are designed to lighten and darken automatically in response to changing light. This allows you to maintain peak visual performance while tackling whatever your sport or activity throws at you. In addition, 100% of UV rays are filtered out, even when the lens colour lightens to help you see in dimmer environments where UV is still a threat. You also het the added benefit of having a lens option that won't go too dark when the sun suddenly disappears behind a cloud, or too light when it appears again.
