Sunglasses FAQs

What are the benefits of photochromic sunglasses?

Photochromic lenses (with or without prescription) adjust to brightness. They darken as you step outside on a sunny day and get lighter when you go indoors. This means that you can wear the same glasses everywhere without having to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses.

Are sunglass lens coatings worth it?

While sunglasses provide plenty of protection for your eyes, lens coatings add even more benefits. You can choose anti-reflective coatings to cut down on glare and make driving safer. Tinted sunglasses can help you see colors and detail more distinctly. Scratch-resistant coatings help prevent damage so you can enjoy your shades for longer.

Is it OK to wear sunglasses with contacts?

Unless your contact lenses provide 100% UV protection — most don’t — always remember to don your sunglasses before heading outdoors. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection screen out harmful rays and winds that tend to dry out your eyes more quickly. This is good news for contact lens wearers who run the risk of developing dry eye symptoms.

How to tell if sunglasses have UV protection?

To make sure that your sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, make sure to purchase your shades from a licensed optometrist.

How Do I Choose the Right Sunglasses?

To select your perfect sunglasses, consider the following:

  • Frames

    You want your sunglasses to last, so choose durable, high-quality frames. Whether you choose plastic, acetate, aluminum, stainless steel or even wooden frames, make sure that the frames fit well, look good, and are comfortable to wear.

  • Lenses

    Lenses correct your vision, protect your eyes and enhance your style. Always choose lenses that screen out 100% of UV rays. You can also choose special features like anti-glare, polarized shades or tints. To prevent damage, select durable lenses.

  • Shape

    Sunglass shapes not only express your unique style; they provide a protective barrier against the elements. Wrap-around sunglasses shield your eyes from wind and flying debris. The right frames also complement your face and help you bring your best features forward.

  • Prescription

    Once you’ve undergone an eye exam, you can purchase sunglasses with the same prescription as your regular glasses. Wearing prescription sunglasses allows you to enjoy the outdoors while protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays.

I brought my 8 year old son in for an eye exam along with his toddler sister, and everyone was ackno... wledged and communicated with. The team was communicative, informative and gentle. They let my concerned toddler be right by her brother in case she needed to comfort him (she thought his eyes were broken after seeing his [healthy] blood vessel photos). Another thing worth noting was it didn't take forever. Office was easy to find, paperwork was easy. We'll be back to see Dr. Dakin and his team next year for our annual exam!

I’m always impressed with the Custom Eyes team. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely... caring, making each visit a positive experience. Booking appointments is easy, and I’m able to get in promptly without having to wait months, which I really appreciate. Dr. Breck is incredibly thorough and attentive, providing me with the best possible care every time. Highly recommend!

Good experience with customEyes.

This place has definitely improved ever since Dr. Brill retired. I felt like he never took my issue�... ��s seriously and would always be passive aggressive towards to me and would always make me feel less than because I’m a women 🙁 Dr. Dakin on the other hand has been the best he’s young and definitely seems more advanced and knowledgeable in dry eye! Their new team is very welcoming and bubbly!

My experience at this location was great, the staff was kind, patient and friendly. I know I walked ... in looking like a hot mess, couldn't get my insurance to cooporate, kept dropping stuff, and overall was a mess but they were all so sweet, patient, and helpful.

I came to this place (under different management/owner) for years. It's Custom Eyes now. The whole t... eam is new. No more receptionist who called me the wrong name for years, no more waiting to be seen for my appointment for 30-60 min, no more waiting for the dr. for another 30 min, no more getting push to buy products/service from them. Seems like the Custom Eyes' workers want to be there. Very quick, friendly, professional.
