Sunglasses
Eye Care 1 carries a fine assortment of designer and sport
sunglasses. Some of our sunglasses have innovative features such as adjustable
cables, thermo-grip® nose pads and temples to ensure snugger, no-slip fit.
Polycarbonate sunglass lenses continue to be strong sellers due to their
shatterproof properties. They are also more fog-resistant than glass or plastic
lenses.
To provide optimal eye protection, your sunglasses should:
- Block out 99-100% of both UV-A and UV-B radiation
- Screen out 75-90% of visible light
- Be perfectly matched in color and be free of distortion
- Be able to protect the eyes from impact injury
The principal danger posed by the sun is in the form of ultraviolet radiation
(in short UV radiation). UV is a component of solar energy, but it can also be
given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers.
Every frame in our stock can be made to prescription sunglasses with all
protective lens and coating options including UV filters. Our Professional staff
of dispensing opticians will assist you in choosing the best options for your
sunglass frames.
Solid Tints: Plastic lenses bathed
in specialty lens tints can take on any color shade and density. The lens
actually absorbs the tint color into the lens material, so there is no risk of
fading or wash out. Tint density is defined as a percentage, where 0% is
completely clear, and 100% permits no light to pass through. A 10% to 20% tint
is used for a “fashion” tint, and a 50% to 80% tint is used for outdoor
protection from the sun. You may choose your own lens color, and customize your
sunglass lenses to your specific needs and applications. Choose from blue,
Green, Grey, Brown, Yellow and Amber colors.
Photochromic Plastic Lenses: The original plastic photochromic was
introduced in 1991 and has since become very popular. This lens isn't designed
to take the place of sunglasses. They are designed for people who normally like
a tint in their lenses and prefer the light weight of plastic lenses. The added
advantage is that they do change to existing light conditions giving more of a
tint enhancement. All plastic photochromic lenses come with scratch resistance
coating, 100% UVA and 99.8 % UVB protection. They are continually becoming
available in more lens styles. Please ask us for a demo.
Polarized Lenses: Polarized lenses have the benefit of filtering out
reflected light and glare off water, pavement and snow. This type of lens works
great for fishing, boating, driving or any other glare intensive activity.
Polarized lenses are the best way to eliminate both glare and UV light. Many
polarized lenses feature Anti-Reflective coating on the back of the lens for
even better clarity and reduced back glare.
