Finding the Perfect Pair of Sunglasses

Sunglasses are a stylish accessory that not only add to your outfit but also protect your eyes from the sun. However, with so many options available, finding the perfect pair can be overwhelming. In this post, Locerne Optical, a leading eye care provider in Wixom and the surrounding areas, offers tips on how to select the best sunglasses for your needs. 

Schedule an Eye Exam

Before you start shopping for sunglasses, schedule an eye exam with an eye doctor or optometrist to ensure your eyes are healthy and receive guidance on the best lenses for your vision needs. If you wear contact lenses, your eye doctor can help you choose between prescription sunglasses and daily contact lenses that protect against UV rays.

Know Your Face Shape

Different sunglasses complement different face shapes. Get professional guidance from an optometrist who can use a face shape chart to help you identify the right style for you. For instance, angular frames work well with round faces while rounder frames are best for square faces.

Consider the Lens Color

The color of your sunglasses lenses affects your visual clarity and depth perception. Gray and brown lenses are versatile and offer natural coloring. Green lenses enhance contrast and reduce glare, making them ideal for outdoor activities. Blue lenses can improve color perception and reduce eye strain in bright conditions, perfect for water activities.

Invest in Quality Frames

Designer frames may cost more upfront but offer superior comfort, style, and durability compared to bargain brands. At Locerne Optical, we stock designer frames from recognized brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Prada, and Gucci. Our expert frame stylists will help you find a frame that suits your personal style, face shape, and budget.

Care for Your Sunglasses

To make your sunglasses last longer, treat them with care. Store them in a protective case when not in use and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat. Clean them regularly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. If you have prescription sunglasses, schedule regular eye exams and update your prescription as needed.
