Prescription & Designer Sunglasses in Orange County
You wear sunscreen to protect your skin; your eyes deserve the same care. Our sunglasses are hand-selected to offer quality sun protection, optical clarity, and a fit that feels custom. From everyday wear to prescription lenses for your favorite designer frames, we’ll help you find the perfect pair for coastal living in Newport Beach and beyond.
The Importance of Wearing Sunglasses
Sunglasses aren’t just about reducing glare; they’re one of the most important tools you have to protect your eye health. Quality lenses can help block harmful UV rays that increase the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and sun-related damage. In coastal areas like Newport Beach, where sunlight reflects off water and pavement year-round, that protection matters even more.
Glare reduction is just the beginning. The right pair of sunglasses can improve driving safety, reduce eye strain, and help you see clearly in bright conditions. And unlike drugstore shades, the lenses we fit are designed with optical precision, lasting durability, and all-day comfort in mind.
