Great sun protection and a fabulous accessory

  • Lenses that darken in the sun

    Self-tinting lenses are a great idea for anyone who doesn’t want to change their glasses in the sun as these lenses incorporate a special technology which adapts to the sun – e.g.  PhotoFusionX by ZEISS

  • Sun protection – with stylish tints to suit your look

    It’s all about protecting your eyes from the sun and glare when you’re outdoors. A  wide selection of lens tints  – from single colours and gradient tints to bi-colour or even special tints for medical purposes – feature in the range of sunglasses from ZEISS. So your glasses, whether single vision or progressive lenses, will become your favourite accessory that also delivers first-class protection against the sun.

  • All the rage: sunglasses with a mirror coating

    Traditionally only needed when the sun was shining brightly, sunglasses with a  mirror coating  are now very much in vogue – and they’re available in your prescription! Visit our practice to see the wide range of colours and styles available for sunglass coatings.
