Why Wear Sunglasses

Varilux Lenses

Quick Adaptation for New Wearers

Going out in the sun is usually associated with pleasure, well being and health. We look better and healthier with a tan, don’t we? But for eyes, there is no benefit from the sun, only danger!

97% of people complain about bright light, glare and reflections on roads or shiny surfaces, and this glare slows reaction times when driving.
Glare also reduces the quality of your vision, altering colours and contrast and you lose out on seeing the world as it is.

Make Your Vision Personal

Your eyes dont go brown in the sun, they are damaged. UV light damages the retina and is a causative factor in age related macula degeneration and 20% of cataracts. So protect them.

To do this best we wear and recommend Xperio polarized lenses:- polarized lenses completely block UV rays, providing 100% UV protection so reducing potential vision damage. And unlike regular sunglasses, they also virtually eliminate glare, allowing you to see more clearly and comfortably outdoors.

Eyezen Lenses

Since the invention of single vision lenses in the 1800s, the design has barely changed; but our lifestyles have progressed significantly. Modern lifestyles involve looking down at screen displays from your mobile to kindles to PC’s and a standard lens is not optimised for this visual task. Essilor have developed Eyezen lenses that are designed to keep up with modern, digitally-driven lives, reducing and preventing visual fatigue, making sure eyes don’t have to work quite so hard through the day.

Previously, you would often have to look through the centre of the lens to see clearly, often resulting in neck and shoulder pain when looking at digital screens up close. With Eyezen’s DualOptim technology, the lens is optimised for both distance and near vision, resulting in better comfort and acuity than before.

Combined with their excellent range of glare reducing coatings, such as Prevencia, clear comfortable vision is guarenteed.
