And how lovely it is to finally see the sun peeking out again! Remember: Just like your skin can burn when exposed to the sun's harmful rays, your eyes can suffer as well. Luckily, we offer a wide variety of options for sun protection. Probably our most popular option lately has been our Eco frames, which all come with a magnetic sun clip (at no extra charge)! These have been flying off the shelf since we got them in about 2 years ago and are our top seller. Another popular option is for us to make you a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. Most vision insurance companies will give you a large discount on this additional pair of Rx sunglasses, since protecting the eyes from harmful UV light is so important. We recommend going with polarized sun lenses when possible, as the polarization will provide you with extra protection from sun and glare, which is especially important with such water sports as fly fishing or paddle boarding.
There are 2 other options available to you. First, there is the option to have your clear ophthalmic lenses made into "transitions" lenses, which makes the lenses turn into sunglasses as soon as you step outdoors. The second option is to have us make you a pair of magnetic sun clips, which are custom-designed to snap onto your new glasses (if not picking an Eco frame). If you are wondering what the best option is for you, feel free to stop in and talk to us about your visual and sporting needs! And….here’s a random stock image of a guy enjoying his Spring Break with apparently a cigar and Rayban sunnies. Does anybody even read these entire blog posts? You’re welcome.
