Sunglasses have a dual purpose in life, to look good and to protect our eyes, This section explains how and why.

Style statements

For many, sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory. Worn by the rich and famous and by millions of ordinary people, sunglasses are an opportunity to break with personal traditions. Outlandish styles that would never be worn as spectacles become the norm where sunglasses are concerned and the array of shapes, colours and styles has never been so exciting.

New collections are abundant, not least from the international designer houses, for whom sunglasses are an opportunity to achieve a very high profile amongst the public. So now everyone can enjoy the trappings of comfort and style that sunglasses offer.

UV and your eyes

These days everyone has heard of UV radiation, but why is it dangerous? It's dangerous because, unlike the sun's infrared and visible rays which manifest themselves as heat and light, UV is not easy to detect. Furthermore, excessive exposure to UV light can cause permanent damage to the eyes' surface or internal structures resulting in corneal opacity or cataract. As a result, we only supply sunglasses with 100% UV protective lenses to ensure that your eyes are well protected from the sun's harmful UV rays.
