Bright Eyes offers both non prescription and prescription sunwear; there are many great styles from which to choose. You may select a pair to purchase and take with you that day or you may decide to customize your sunglasses with a prescription or specific lens color or mirror. Our optical staff can discuss what would be most beneficial for your unique vision, performance and comfort needs.

In addition to providing more comfortable vision and complimenting your individual style, sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation, which is present even on cloudy days. Quality sunwear provides 100% UV protection and can significantly reduce the risk of vision problems caused by sunlight such as corneal sunburns, cancer of the eye or skin surrounding the eye, cataracts and more. In many instances sunglasses you may find at other retailers do not have adequate filters to protect your eyes. This can occur because sunglass lenses are not regulated by the FDA. By wearing good sunglasses you reduce the risks of immediate and long term term harm.

We often hear that in addition to bright light, glare is also an concern for our patients. Polarized sunglasses block light glare from flat surfaces such as roadways, vehicles and water. Looking at a scene with polarized lenses, you’ll notice the colors are deeper, richer and bolder, and details are clearer and more distinct. Eliminating glare helps reduce squinting, which, in turn, reduces eye fatigue, tension and eyestrain.
