Sunglasses in Murray, KY
Why Sunglasses Are Important
Sunglasses aren’t just an accessory — they’re crucial to your eye health. Harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation can wreak havoc on unprotected eyes.
Repeated, prolonged exposure to damaging light sources can cause headaches, discomfort or pain, and even lasting damage to your eyes. For example, your risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, and certain types of skin cancer around the eyes increases with long-term sun exposure. People who either are already at risk for certain eye diseases or who have had recent eye surgery have an even greater need for sun protection.
So instead of squinting, shielding your face, and feeling uncomfortable outside, take some time to invest in a nice pair of sunglasses that will keep you protected and looking great!
What to Look for in a
Pair of Sunglasses
First and foremost, make sure your sunglasses fit comfortably. If they stay stable on your nose and fully cover your eyes, they’ll provide complete coverage. This is also why you’ll likely want a larger surface area for the lenses.
You should also check for what type of protection the lenses offer. For example, polarized lenses reduce the amplified glare from reflective surfaces, such as bodies of water or fresh snow. Also look for percentage and type of UV rays blocked; we recommend finding sunglasses rated for 100% protection from UV-A and UV-B light.
Sunglasses Customization Options
We offer a number of ways to personalize your sunglasses to your needs, particularly in our lenses. We can tailor your prescription or non-prescription sunglasses with everything from polarization to sport or activity-specific tints — for example, aviators might prefer a neutral gray to reduce color distortion, while a fisherman might want a yellow or amber tint to help them see better on the water in early-morning low light.
