Protecting your eyes from harsh ultraviolet rays in the summer is important to maintaining your vision throughout life. Prescription sunglasses offer protection and allow you to enjoy clear vision for the summer activities you enjoy. At Advanced Eyecare Specialists in Falmouth, MA, we offer a broad range of frames and lenses for sunglasses, to suit your individual needs.

Frame Shapes

When you are choosing frames for your prescription sunglasses, try styles that offer the most protection for your eyes. Frames should be large enough to cover the eyes effectively. People who are light sensitive may prefer frames that offer some side protection, such a wraparound frame.

Light-Adaptive Lenses

Photochromic lenses use special materials that are clear in low UV light environments such as indoors, but gradually change to a darker color when UV light levels increase. These lenses can be helpful for individuals who work in conditions that change from indoors to outdoors frequently during the day, eliminating the need to remove sunglasses or change to clear prescription glasses.

Polarized Lenses

Another type of lens, called polarized lenses, have a special coating that helps to reduce glare. These lenses filter out some specific angles of light, allowing for clearer vision in environments that produce harsh glare, such as on water or off metal surfaces. These lenses can be helpful for individuals who spend time boating, fishing, or working in certain environments.
