Sun Protection - All year round

---

Protecting our eyes from UV light is essential for maintaining long-term eye health. Prolonged exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can increase the risk of eye conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Just like we protect our skin from the sun, it’s important to shield our eyes as well. UV-blocking sunglass lenses and clear UV-blocking lenses, help to prevent damage by filtering out these harmful rays, keeping our eyes healthy and reducing the risk of future vision problems.

Polarised light is light that has been filtered so that all of its waves vibrate in a single direction, rather than scattering in multiple directions. Normally, light waves travel in various directions, but when light reflects off surfaces like water, glass, or roads, it can become polarised, meaning the light waves are aligned in one direction—usually horizontal.

This horizontally polarised light causes glare, which can make it difficult to see clearly. Polarised sunglasses are designed to block this horizontal light, reducing glare and improving visual clarity, especially in situations like driving, being near water, or on snow.

At Chris Woods Eyecare, we offer a range of high-quality sunglasses that can all be fitted with your prescription. Our collection features top brands Like Tom Ford, Ray-Ban, Oakley, Prodesign. WOOW, Cocoa Mint and Landrover, ensuring you get the perfect pair for  sun protection, UV protection and visual comfort.

Photochromatic lenses, also known as transition lenses, automatically adjust to changing light conditions. They darken when exposed to UV light, providing sun protection outdoors, and return to clear when indoors or in low-light environments. This adaptability makes them a convenient option for those who want the benefits of sunglasses without needing to switch between pairs of glasses. Photochromatic lenses offer comfort, UV protection, and versatility in one solution, making them ideal for everyday wear.
