Do You Really Need Quality Sunglass Lenses?
When the days get brighter and longer, your sunglasses become more of a necessity than a luxury. You want a pair of sunglasses that is comfortable to wear all day long and that does an effective job keeping the glare away. You also want lenses that will protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays.
But did you know that not all sunglasses are created equal? In fact, some sunglass lens’ tints may still leave you squinting and trying to figure out what colors you are actually seeing. Cheap, over the counter, sunglass lenses can leave you unprotected and uncomfortable.
That’s why, when it’s time for you to pick out your next pair of sunglasses, you’ll want to head to your closest America’s Best store to make sure you are getting quality sunglass lenses. They will have many different options and tint types to choose from, but you can rest assured that every lens you are offered is ophthalmic quality and offers some level of protection for your eyes.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors or driving, than you’ll want to ask your optician about polarized sunglass lenses. These lenses will change your life. The difference between a standard sunglass lens and the polarized sunglass lens is amazing. Polarized lenses minimize glare and make the world look crisp and clear as they darken and shield the sun.
Polarized lenses also cut out 100% of the UVA and UVB rays. There will be absolutely no need to squint wearing these lenses because they do such an effective job of controlling glare and the amount of light that gets through the lens.
Often you can choose between a gray or a brown polarized treatment. There are resources online or in the store for you to compare and see which style you like best. I usually prefer to match the tint to the sunglass frame I’m choosing (i.e. a brown tint would look best with a warm toned frame, while a gray tint would look great with a black frame), but the choice is really up to you.
If you aren’t sure that polarized lenses are what you need right now, there are other coatings that your optician can put on your lenses too. Ask about anti-glare (anti-reflective) coatings, scratch-coatings and other ways you can have your sunglass lenses protected.
And, don’t worry about the price. At America’s Best you know you are getting an incredible deal on the best designer sunglass frames out there. Choose your two favorite pairs and then ask about how to make them even better through adding special lens treatments.
