Sunglasses FAQs

What are the benefits of photochromic sunglasses?

Photochromic lenses (with or without prescription) adjust to brightness. They darken as you step outside on a sunny day and get lighter when you go indoors. This means that you can wear the same glasses everywhere without having to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses.

Are sunglass lens coatings worth it?

While sunglasses provide plenty of protection for your eyes, lens coatings add even more benefits. You can choose anti-reflective coatings to cut down on glare and make driving safer. Tinted sunglasses can help you see colors and detail more distinctly. Scratch-resistant coatings help prevent damage so you can enjoy your shades for longer.

Is it OK to wear sunglasses with contacts?

Unless your contact lenses provide 100% UV protection — most don’t — always remember to don your sunglasses before heading outdoors. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection screen out harmful rays and winds that tend to dry out your eyes more quickly. This is good news for contact lens wearers who run the risk of developing dry eye symptoms.

How to tell if sunglasses have UV protection?

To make sure that your sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, make sure to purchase your shades from a licensed optometrist.

How Do I Choose the Right Sunglasses?

To select your perfect sunglasses, consider the following:

  • Frames

    You want your sunglasses to last, so choose durable, high-quality frames. Whether you choose plastic, acetate, aluminum, stainless steel or even wooden frames, make sure that the frames fit well, look good, and are comfortable to wear.

  • Lenses

    Lenses correct your vision, protect your eyes and enhance your style. Always choose lenses that screen out 100% of UV rays. You can also choose special features like anti-glare, polarized shades or tints. To prevent damage, select durable lenses.

  • Shape

    Sunglass shapes not only express your unique style; they provide a protective barrier against the elements. Wrap-around sunglasses shield your eyes from wind and flying debris. The right frames also complement your face and help you bring your best features forward.

  • Prescription

    Once you’ve undergone an eye exam, you can purchase sunglasses with the same prescription as your regular glasses. Wearing prescription sunglasses allows you to enjoy the outdoors while protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays.

Great customer service and high quality glasses that will last a few years.

I’ve been coming here for over 30 years! Initially with Kenneth and now with his son, Jonathan. ... The doctor and eye-care professional staff are always top notch. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about latest advancements in eye care. Most of the eye care professional staff have been there for 10+ years too.

Excellent care by Dr. Kaplan. I have been coming to him for years and will continue there.

Having been a pt here for many years I know Dr Kaplan and his staff are very professional, knowledge... able and friendly. Today I saw this taken to another level, when I called for a vision concern. Andrew had me come in immediately for an exam despite the fact that it was 10:25am and they close at 12. I was greeted with a friendly disposition and had preliminary vision test done by an equally professional yet friendly face. Dr Scarpanito took an extraordinary amount of time with me and provided me with an extremely thorough exam. With an answer and treatment in hand I went to finish up my visit and pay my copay, where I was met with Andrew, who was very gracious and kind despite it now being well past closing time. Thank you all ! You are truly a testament to your profession!
