Sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement—they’re essential for protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. At Simpson Optometrists, we offer a wide range of prescription and non-prescription sunglasses that combine style and protection, ensuring you look great and keep your eyes safe.

Why You Need Sunglasses

Sunglasses are often referred to as the “celebrity’s unofficial uniform,” but they serve a vital purpose beyond fashion. With 100% UV protection, our sunglasses shield your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun, helping to prevent long-term damage like cataracts, macular degeneration, and even skin cancer around the eyes.

From iconic Ray-Ban designs to other designer brands, our collection caters to every taste, whether you’re seeking something trendy, classic, or sporty.

Polarized Sunglasses for Driving

Driving in sunny conditions can be a challenge, especially when faced with glare from roads or water surfaces. Our Polarized Sunglasses are designed to cut glare, improve visual comfort, and enhance safety. Polarized lenses work by filtering out intense reflected light, which helps reduce squinting and eye strain—especially important when you’re behind the wheel. We also offer Anti-Reflection Coating, which allows more light to pass through the lenses, giving you clearer, sharper vision.

Whether you’re driving, cycling, or enjoying outdoor sports, polarized sunglasses provide superior comfort and clarity.

Sunglasses for Children: Protecting Young Eyes

Eye protection for children is often overlooked, but just like skin needs sunscreen, young eyes need protection from UV rays. We offer a wide range of children’s sunglasses, including Babybanz for toddlers, to ensure the youngest members of your family stay protected. Start early and make sunglasses part of your child’s outdoor essentials.
