Sunglasses
Both Prescription and non-prescription sunglasses are available.
We recommend in most instances a Polarized lens (brown, grey and green) with depth of color 65% or 85% depending on your requirements. These may differ depending on your needs say for driving on cloudy days, out on the water or snow and also based on your ocular health – for instance macular degeneration or cataract.
