Women's Sunglasses

FYidoctors optometrists explain that polarized lenses cut glare, while UV protection blocks harmful rays, so the two aren't the same thing. Polarization reduces reflected glare from water, snow and roads. UV protection shields your eyes from ultraviolet light. Whether or not a pair is polarized, look for a label stating 100% UVA/UVB protection or UV400.

Yes, FYidoctors offers both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses, so you can get clear vision and sun protection in one pair. If your prescription is out of date, book an eye exam first. The clinic team can then help you choose lens options, such as tints or polarization, that suit your prescription and daily routine.

The FYidoctors team recommends frames that contrast with your face shape, and can help you compare styles in clinic. Round faces often suit angular square or cat eye frames. Square faces tend to suit softer round or aviator styles, while oval faces suit most shapes. Good fit matters too: frames should sit comfortably without pinching or sliding.

FYidoctors suggests choosing a lens tint based on where you'll wear your sunglasses most. Grey lenses keep colours true and suit everyday wear in bright sun. Brown and amber tints boost contrast, which can help when driving. Darker lenses don't mean more UV protection, so check for 100% UVA/UVB protection on any tint.
