Beat the sun with our prescription sunglasses range

Not only can you look stylishly good, but sunglasses serve as eye disease protection.

Did you know:

• UV radiation increases your odds of getting cataracts, or clouding over the lens of one’s eye. This makes the use of sunglasses an important factor for prevention of cataracts.
• Glaucoma, a chronic eye condition in which pressure can cause damage to the optic nerve, can make eyes highly sensitive to light. This makes sunglasses a go-to for people who suffer from Glaucoma.
• Like glaucoma, people with Macular Degeneration (AMD) are also very sensitive to light. While providing sun protection, sunglasses can also help prevent the acceleration of this disease.

Enjoy the sun throughout the year by following these 3 easy steps:

Step 1:  Choose your designer sunglasses from the range.

Step 2:  Select your tinted prescription lenses. Single vision from $299, progressive lenses from $529.

Step 3:  Optional lens upgrade to polarised plus for $120.
