Summer has finally arrived and we have an array of stylish frames in beautiful colours from the popular crystal and blush through to rich red and purple hues.  However, as the sun is now hopefully firing on all cylinders, it would be remiss of me not to focus on the importance of sun protection for your eyes.

Much emphasis is placed on protecting our skin from harmful UV rays but it is just as essential to protect our eyes. A quality pair of polarised sunglasses which adhere to Australian UV standards will not only assist with glare but can also aid in avoiding or slowing the formation of harmful eye conditions. Common complaints in Australia are cataracts (clouding of the lens) and pterygiums which are a small growth on the cornea that can spread to cover the iris.

However, not all polarised lenses offer the same level of protection. Maui Jim are one of the world leaders, offering premium lenses that can eliminate 99.9% of glare and block 100% UV whilst offering exceptional clarity.  Once you’ve tried these lenses there is often no turning back and we find our customers do become loyal to this brand.

Mirrored sunglasses are the trend for this season from muted gold through to cool blues and soft rose gold.  We always ensure to stock a fabulous range of fashion sunglasses most of which can be fitted with prescription lenses.  Pop in and have some fun trying our different styles and we can discuss the most appropriate lenses to suit your lifestyle and budget.

Have fun in the sun!
