Sunglasses at John Harwood
Designer Sunglasses
Sunglasses are designed to reduce the light reaching the eye, giving comfort in bright conditions and protection against the harmful ultra-violet part of the spectrum. Long term exposure to UV can increase cataract development, and potential damage to the cornea and retina. In fact, UV light is as dangerous to the eyes as it is to your skin. All of our sunglasses give full UVA and UVB protection.
Our practices stock a range of sunglasses including Radley sunglasses, Mexx sunglasses, Calvin Klein Sunglasses and Maui Jim sunglasses.
Polarized
These lenses are particularly effective in reducing glare from below in certain conditions e.g. wet roads, near water, snow and white concrete. As well as your all round shades, they are particularly useful if you are skiing, fishing, sailing etc.
For their excellent quality, John Harwood Optometrists recommend Xperio Polarised Lenses.
Our Camberley and Woking practices also stock Maui Jim sunglasses. Created on the Hawaiian Islands to make the colours shine, Maui Jim sunglasses feature patented PolarizedPlus®2 lens technology for brilliant colour so every detail is crisper and cleaner and without glare or harmful UV. Slip on a pair and See The Brilliance! Maui Jim have a “Virtual Fit Photo” option to enable you to view how their sunglasses will look on your face. You will need to upload a photo of yourself on their website for this to work.
Light Sensitive lenses
Changing light conditions are a feature of our climate, but thankfully Photochromic lenses are the perfect solution. Photochromic lenses vary in tint: virtually clear indoors and dark outside. Hence they double up as both a clear pair and a dark pair. The latest generation Transitions lenses react faster and darker than ever before!
Sports Vision
sun specs for many sports!
Running or golfing, biking skiing or sailing, achieving personal best or just having fun, optimal vision correction is key to sports. Eye protection against the sun and elements, not to mention other players is important also.
John Harwood Optometrists stock performance eyewear from such field leaders as Adidas Sunglasses and Maui Jim sunglasses and we can advise on the optimal tint, the best fitting frame and the best impact protection for the sport you are in. Perhaps you take part in a range of sports? We can recommend wrap around sunspecs with removable prescription inserts that leaves the whole field open to you.
