Protecting Your Eyes From the Sun

It is a known fact, that our eyes require sun protection. When we wear glasses, it may feel more complicated, however, there is a solution. If you live in the Lancaster, St. Johnsbury and Montpelier area, there is an optometrist who can provide you with quality eyecare. Shippee Family Eye Care, P.C. has custom ordered prescription sunglasses, made onsite.

What Kind of Prescription Sunglasses do I Need?

We know we can get eyeglasses online these days. However, they are not nearly as accurately measured as ones are that are ordered directly from our optometrist or ophthalmologist. There are calculations involved, such as the optical centers and pupillary distance that need to be considered. The optician is the one that calculates these, not the prescriber. Getting the best sun care protection involves the prescriber and optician to work together. When you order elsewhere, the optician is interpreting a prescription without working with your eye doctor. Without measuring these accurately, there can be problems with the quality of your sight.

Warranties and Quality

When we go to a different provider to obtain prescription sunglasses, quality and warranties are not always guaranteed. Some online as well as mass production eyeglass outlets, may not have a licensed optician on staff. Proper state inspections are not always done and factory employees are not trained to the degree, the optician your optometrist sent you to. These products are often not inspected or handled by a state-licensed optician. These websites rely on mass production in order to operate. There is also no guarantee, that if they break, they will fix them. This is not the case at our official optometrists' office.
