How Do Sunglasses Protect My Eye Health?

In addition to making you look (and feel) cool, sunglasses help protect your eyes. The sun’s UV rays can damage your eyes, but wearing sunglasses will help maintain your eye health.

Sunglasses can help filter out harmful UV rays from the sun, shield your eyes, and reduce glare. Even on cloudy days, sunglasses can block UVA and UVB radiation. They can also provide comfort and clarity while outdoors.

At Monson Optical, we carry fun, fashionable, and functional sunglasses and frames. We want you to look and feel confident while protecting your vision.

The Benefits of Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses can be beneficial on bright, sunny days. They help to reduce glare from surfaces like water and roads, making them excellent options while working outside, driving, boating, or playing sports.

Using polarized lenses is a personal preference. Some people enjoy the enhanced colors and clarity that polarized lenses can provide, while others prefer to see colors closer to what the normal eye sees.

Maui Jim

Maui Jim is the fastest growing American maker of premium polarized sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, and ophthalmic frames in the world! It all began in Lahaina, Hawaii, with a need for sunglasses that could eliminate the harsh Hawaiian glare without distorting the colors of the island scenery. Today, Maui Jim also produces stunning, high-quality ophthalmic frames.

Ray-Ban

Ray-Ban has always been durable, comfortable, and attractive from the vintage classics to the present-day trendy American frames. From celebrities to your friends, Ray-Ban is always a favorite.

American Optical

The oldest optical company in American history, AO has been crafting eyewear since 1833. They created the first aviator and today, their products are still made in America, crafted at the company’s Chicago factory. Pilots, Presidents, and NASA space crews have worn the brand. Lasting style and carefully engineered comfort are hallmarks of AO.
