Sunglasses

Quality and Choice

Our Australian climate makes for a great lifestyle but can also be harsh on our eyes. Sunlight can contribute to conditions such as cataracts, pterygia and macular degeneration, which means a quality pair of sunglasses should be an essential part of your daily life.

Sunglasses reduce glare to make your vision comfortable on even the brightest day, and of course they can look great as well.

As Bargara's only optometrist, Clear Optometry is your best choice for quality sunglasses and expert advice.

There are several reasons why wearing sunglasses is important:

• UV protection – too much sun can be harmful. Potential negative effects range from damage to the eyes right through to headaches and migraines. Sunglasses reduce your eyes’ exposure to UV, dramatically lessening the risk of health issues such as cataracts, pterygia and skin cancers on your eyelids.
• Glare protection- whether surfing, driving or playing sport, excessive glare will decrease your performance and can even increase the risk of accidents. Sunglasses improve both comfort and safety.
• A wide range of styles – protecting your eyes doesn’t mean sacrificing fashion. Choose from our extensive selection to find the sunglasses that best enhance your style.

Picking the right sunglasses is important to ensure both comfort and protection, and is not always as straightforward as it may seem. Some factors to consider include:

• UV Protection – not all sunglasses are created equal. If you frequently spend time outdoors, 100% UV filtration is definitely best to ensure maximum protection against the harsh Australian sun.
• Size and fit – wraparound styles, or those with a larger size, will help to improve eye protection against sun damage. This is because the increased coverage they provide reduces the number of UV rays coming into contact with your eyes.
• Polarised lenses – UV protection keeps you safe from the sun’s rays, while polarisation dramatically reduces glare, particularly from reflective surfaces such as water, windscreens, and roads. Uncontrolled glare reduces visual performance and increases the chance of accidents, particularly when driving.
• Face type - Our experienced team can help find the pair that's just right for your unique features, in order to provide both excellent protection and a great look.
