Sunglasses are far more than a mere fashion accessory. Although they can transform your outfit or overall look, their most important function is to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. If you’re looking for a new pair of Redding sunglasses, it’s vital that you choose a pair that not only merely look good on you, but will allow your eyes to see the world clearly, safely, and conveniently. At the optical store of Enterprise Optometry Group, we’re here to make sure your sunny days are as safe as they are fun.
To reduce exposure to UV rays and their effects, we recommend you invest in a set of sunglasses which can provide at least 98% protection from UVA and UVB rays. While other Redding sunglasses can range from poor to excellent UV protection, our sunwear lines provide the best protection from the sun. We carry a large selection of styles and colors at our optical store. For example, polarized lenses block light reflected from surfaces. Most glare comes from horizontal surfaces, so the light is "horizontally polarized." Polarized lenses feature vertically-oriented "polarizers." These polarizers block the horizontally-polarized light. The result is a glare-reduced view of the world. Polarized lenses can make a world of difference. We also offer photochromic lenses at our optical store. If you've ever felt frustrated at needing prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses to accommodate an outdoor lifestyle, you should consider photochromic lenses from our optical store. Photochromic lenses darken when exposed to UV rays. The change is caused by photochromic molecules that are found throughout the lens or in a coating on the front of the lens. When the wearer goes outside, the lenses darken or tint. When the wearer goes back inside, the glasses become clear. There are a variety of photochromic options available, with choices in color and darkness of tint.
If you are involved in outdoor activities, polarized lenses can be very helpful in reducing glare and giving a clearer view, while photochromic lenses may offer the convenience you need. Redding sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement. They should also be convenient, safe, and even improve your viewing capabilities when enjoying your favorite outdoor activities. Let the optical store and eye care center of Enterprise Optometry Group help you enjoy being out in the sun safely and fashionably.
