See more about how we can assist you with getting sunglasses with a prescription here at our optometrist.
Do I Need to Get an Eye Exam to Get Prescription Sunglasses?
If you do not already have a prescription, then you will need to begin with a comprehensive eye exam. Starting as young as six months old we perform eye exams to check for vision and eye health issues. Once you have a vision exam, we will have the information we need to create your prescription sunglasses.
How Do I Choose the Right Style of Sunglasses at an Optometry Clinic?
When you visit our optometry clinic for sunglasses we offer onsite eyeglass fittings. You can try on sunglasses for playing sports or a more fashionable pair depending on your taste and lifestyle. Let us know what kind of sunglasses you are looking for and we will find exactly that style.
Should I Get Sunglasses That Block UV Rays?
Yes, and in fact, you want to look for prescription sunglasses that block 100 percent UV rays. Otherwise, you risk damaging your eyes and ruining your vision in the long term. When you purchase sunglasses at the corner store you never know if they are actually protecting your eyes, which is the main purpose of sunglasses.
