Sunglasses are a great fashion item – but they are for more than just looking good! UV defence for your eyes should be an essential part of everyone’s eyewear wardrobe and we have a style to suit all. With a wide range of tints and a huge choice of frames, let us help you select the right pair for vision, comfort and protection.

We all take great care of our skin in the sun but few realise how important it is to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of UV.

Recent studies have shown that it may be even more important to protect your eyes from UV radiation in more northerly latitudes such as ours, than when holidaying in hotter climates where the sun is higher in the sky for longer in the day. When the sun is low in the sky there is no natural protection afforded by your brow and so it is more important to wear UV protection.

Luckily all our sunglasses are fully UV absorbing and conform to British and International standards for protection. So come and choose a stylish pair of designer sunglasses, performance enhancing sports sunglasses or a simple pair for your holiday and enjoy the confidence of our sunglasses price promise.

We can even provide plain and prescription sunglasses with polarised lenses, the ultimate in glare reducing technology and available in a choice of colours.
