Sunglasses are part of modern life for sports, driving and any outdoor activity. We guard our skin from harmful sunlight and for health and comfort. It is important that our eyes are also protected. Here at Owen Aves we stock a large range of both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses from some of the major brands including Maui Jim, Tom Ford, Rayban and more.
Not at all! Most people don’t realise it but there are many health benefits to wearing sunglasses. They can help provide visual comfort on bright days and reduce glare from the roads, water and snow.
Not by any means, our expert opticians can recommend the best sunglasses for any activity or purpose. We offer a wide range of sunglasses including wraparound sunglasses that provide clear vision, fit securely and are often available with polarised lenses to reduce glare.
They’re ideal for cyclists, runners and sports people, and also to use when fishing or driving. We also offer a wide range of prescription sunglasses available with almost any lens type – single vision, bifocal or progressive.
No, children’s eyes are actually at greatest risk of UV damage. The WHO (World Health Organisation) estimate that as much as 80 percent of a person’s lifetime UV is absorbed into the eye by the time a child turns 18. It is vital to protect eyes from a young age, to prevent problems from occurring later on, and to encourage children to get into the habit of wearing sunglasses.
