A wide range of sunglasses are available including such brands as Moschino, Ray Ban, Calvin Klein, Police, CK, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana and Nina Ricci. All of these offer 100% UVA and UVB absorption. Even more essential nowadays with the gradual depletion of the ozone layer, which used to filter out a lot of the harmful rays.

The lenses are made from toughened glass, plastic or polycarbonate. Some also have Anti Reflection coatings which help create a clearer sharper image by reducing ghost images. Although not held in stock we can obtain sunglasses from Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Killer Loop, Zeiss, Serengeti, Lacoste, Adidas and Randolph. Sunglasses can be made to your prescription as well as plano (no power).

Plano are useful if you do not normally where spectacles or if you wish to wear sunglasses over your contact lenses. Bausch & Lomb (manufacture of contact lenses and Ray Bans) often run promotions featuring contact lenses and Ray Bans or Killer Loop. As well as fixed tint lenses, there are variable lenses. These are called Photochromatic and they adjust to the amount of UV light present.

The more UV (Sunny) they go darker. These are available in glass from such companies as Zeiss, and Pilkington (Reactolite Rapide) and plastic Transitions material. Care should always be taken with selection of sunglasses. As cheaper sunglasses which don't absorb UV will actually offer less protection than not wearing any sunglasses at all. As the dark lenses will cause the pupil to dilate and offer the harmful rays a larger window in which to penetrate the eyeball.
