Sunglasses
We are often asked why sunglasses from an optical store cost more than those from a drugstore or department store. The answer is simple; the ones that cost more really are superior! The frame quality is better. The clarity of the lenses themselves is distortion free.
It is best to purchase your sunglasses from Absolutely Optical. There they are professionally fitted to each client’s unique face… a service you just cannot get at a department store or drug store. Also, after wearing them a while they almost invariably work their way loose or need some type of professional adjusting. Finally, in the event of a warranty issue Absolutely Optical is right there to help!
At Absolutely Optical we sell only the finest sunwear. The frames are made from the best materials. Our titanium and stainless steel frames will not corrode nor leave marks on your skin. Our exclusive virgin acetate plastic frames will not lose their beautiful colors and gloss. The styling is impeccable. You will never look better!
The frame is only part of the story. Today’s science and technology enable us to make sunlenses which truly protect us from UV sun damage to the delicate skin around the eyes as well as the eye’s cornea, lens, and retina. Sunlenses need to be distortion free which protects us from eye fatigue. We offer the largest selection of beautiful shades of lenses including colored mirrors. Polarized lenses can be in gray or brown. And, all are scratch resistant in either prescription or non-prescription.
Problems With Glare
There are many types of annoying glare which disturb one’s vision. A common misconception is that a tint will solve the problem. Actually, tinted lenses can help, but do not solve the problem completely. They work best in bright environments; but, remember tinted lenses make everything seem darker when indoors. You definitely should not drive at night with tinted lenses.
The most common cause of glare is UV rays from fluorescent lights, television, computer monitors, and sunlight. The best fix for this problem is a UV absorbing coating on the lenses. The coating is virtually colorless and it blocks 100% of annoying UV rays. Quality coatings are scratch resistant, invisible, and quite durable.
A second form of glare is from reflected light. This attacks us from sidewalks, beach sand, hoods of cars, open sky, bodies of water (when boating). The correct way to minimize this form of glare is by wearing a polarized lens. These are available in both prescription and non-prescription forms. But, be sure to get quality distortion free lenses… not the cheap plastic drugstore version.
