Sunglasses:
Delivering Protection and Style
Our large selection of designer sunglasses will ensure our patients have access to leading edge style as well as providing critical protections from harmful UV rays.
SUNGLASSES
Protection for the whole family. With more than 300 days per year of glorious Arizona sunshine, good UV protection is a must for everyone living in the valley. Ultraviolet radiation is as damaging to your eyes as it is to your skin and has been associated with the development of diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Just as sunscreen is necessary to prevent skin damage, 100% UV blocking sunglasses are essential to protect eye health. In Arizona, sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement – they’re sunscreen for your eyes!!
At Optics, you’ll find the latest styles by the best names in designer sunglasses including Prada, Jimmy Choo, Fendi, Ray Ban, Tom Ford and many more. You will also find a great selection of sport sunglasses by well known designers such as Maui Jim and Oakley.
And don’t forget the little people in your life – we wouldn’t send them to the pool or out onto the soccer field without their sunscreen, and good quality sunglasses are just as important. Our Kid’s selection features sunwear that is durable, colorful and specially designed to fit those little faces.
For reduced glare and increased clarity in your vision, a pair of polarized sunglasses can’t be beat. An invisible filter is built into your lenses making images appear sharper and clearer while reducing the intensity of the sun’s glare. Make sure your polarized sunglasses block 100% of the sun’s UV rays, and remember that polarized sunglasses are available with or without prescription.
Our certified opticians can help everyone in your family find the right combination of frame style, lens materials, tints and coatings for all your sunglass needs.
Lens Treatments
Enhancing the Performance of Your Lenses
Lens treatments are built into the lens during the manufacturing process and can enhance the performance and appearance of your eyeglass lenses.
Anti-Reflective
Better comfort, clearer vision, reduced glare, and greater cosmetic appeal are all benefits that are provided with anti-reflective lenses. An anti-reflective treatment applied to the front and back surface of prescription lenses will greaty reduce the light reflected by the lens surfaces. This will allow your eyes to appear clearer behind the lenses, your vision will be more defined, and glare from reflected objects, especially headlights at night, will be virtually eliminated. With reflections eliminated, lenses with AR coating provide better vision for night driving and more comfortable vision for reading and computer use. In addition, if you have a “strong” prescription, anti-reflective treatments will make your eyes appear more natural.
Carefully calibrated layers of metal oxides are applied to the front and the back of the lenses. Each of these layers are designed to block reflected light which includes glare, annoying reflections, and the hazy “halos” you often see around lights at night. Anti-reflective treatments are good for sunglasses too as they can be applied to the back side of the lens to eliminate glare reflected around the sides of the frame.
UV Protection
You wear sunscreen to protect your skin from the UV rays in sunlight. Why not do the same and protect your eyes with lenses that block 100% UV?
Eye exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause damage to your eyes. Over time, UV rays can contribute to serious age-related eye conditions or diseases. Ultraviolet rays are always present outdoors on those sunny days, cloudy days, and every day in between. Wearing lenses with maximum UV protection is crucial to maintaining good ocular health.
Unlike sunscreen that you apply and reapply, eyeglass lenses and sunglasses can have ultraviolet protection built into the lens, or applied as a lens treatment. Remember, although UV is invisible to the human eye, it is always present. Your lenses, therefore, should always provide UV protection.
The most important thing about UV glasses is to be certain your eyewear provides near or exactly 100% UV protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Anything less is not providing the help you need for the short and long-term protection of your healthy sight.
Scratch Resistant
Scratched lenses are an annoyance that can interfere with your abililty to see comfortably and clear and limit the performance of the lens. Many of today’s lenses are manufactured with a scratch resistant protection built into the lens. This treatment is specifically designed to resist scratches. Scratch resistant lenses can go a long way toward minimizing the everyday wear and tear we put on our eyewear. Even though scratch resistant treatment are very beneficial, please remember to keep your eyeglasses in a soft cushioned, sturdy case when not wearing them. Please clean them regularly with lens cleaner or warm, soapy water and dry them with a clean, soft cloth. A little extra care goes a long way!
Free Form Lenses
The New Technology of Digital High Definition Lenses
High definition lenses are designed to provide sharper vision in all conditions and reduce glare for nighttime driving.
In today’s high tech world many of you have heard the term high definition. The most popular type of high-definition eyeglass lenses are called free-form lenses. Digital lenses are synonymous with what HD stands for because they too offer a better visual picture and sharper definition throughout the entire visual surface of your lenses.
How the lens is manufactured is what sets digital lenses apart. To create these lenses an advanced digital technology is used to resurface the lens allowing for greater precision over the entire lens surface. The fabrication of some digital, free-form lenses also takes into account how the lenses are positioned in front of the wearer’s eyes when in the eyeglass frame, to provide the most accurate lens power and the sharpest vision possible. With these and possibly other factors taken into account during lens design and fabrication, high-definition eyeglass lenses offer an unprecedented degree of customization which provides you with more visual comfort, improved peripheral vision, sharper definition and less eye fatigue.
Digital lenses also allow more versatility in lens shapes in regards to prescription so you are not limited on frame styles because of your prescription needs.
