Sun Safety Is Always in Style

Sunglasses are more than a fashion accessory. They help protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause long-term damage. Even on cloudy days, UV exposure can increase your risk of eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and corneal sunburn.

At Downtown Eye Care, we carry a curated selection of quality sunglasses that offer both protection and style. Whether you wear prescription lenses or not, we can help you find a pair that fits your needs and your lifestyle.

Visit us today to find a new pair of sunglasses to accompany you on all your outdoor adventures.

Prescription & Non-Prescription Options

Our collection includes sunglasses for all ages, face shapes, and visual needs. You can choose from:

  • Prescription or non-prescription lenses
  • Polarized lenses to reduce glare
  • Gradient, mirrored, or photochromic tints
  • Lightweight, impact-resistant materials
  • Durable frames in classic and modern styles

If you’re unsure where to start, our optical team is happy to help. We’ll work with you to find a frame and lens combination that fits your vision and fashion preferences.

Personal Attention from Our Optical Team

Shopping for sunglasses is a personalized experience, and our optical team offers 1-on-1 fittings, often by appointment, to give you the time and attention you deserve. 

UV protection matters all year long. From sunny summer afternoons to bright winter mornings, the sun’s rays can reflect off snow, water, and pavement, increasing your exposure. A good pair of sunglasses can help protect your eyes and keep you comfortable in every season.

Whether you’re commuting, vacationing, or just enjoying a walk outside, we have options to suit your lifestyle. Visit Downtown Eye Care today and let us help you find your perfect pair.
