Choosing sunglasses

Discover the features to compare when selecting sunglasses, from the frame fit to the lens specifications.

Protection and lens specifications

Compare UV protection, light transmission, glare reduction and tint. Read the stated lens specifications and ask our team to explain what each feature means for the pair you are considering.

Fit, coverage and comfort

Compare the frame size and how it sits on your face. Try different shapes and materials to find a comfortable fit for your daily activities.

Tints and polarised options

Lens colour, darkness and polarisation describe different features. Our practices can help you compare the available options and their specifications.
