Polarised and Prada: Anstice Optometrists
A question often asked is, “Should I use a particular lens for my sun wear?”
Constantly improving lens technology means there are many options available to ensure optimal vision correction and sun protection is provided, tailored to patients’ specific needs. Alastair, Dispensing Optician at Anstice Optometrists says many patients recognise the importance of bespoke sun wear, and seek recommendations for the best possible prescription sun lenses for their needs. “The difference a great lens makes will enhance the enjoyment of outdoor adventures and in addition provide so many benefits for eye health,” he says.
Polarised lenses are popular as they provide sharper vision, reduce eye strain and improve contrast sensitivity, adds Alastair.
He adds that sun tint lenses offer a level of glare reduction. The lens colour also plays an important role based on intended activities. Grey-based lenses are great for boating and driving, copper-based lenses work well for golf and target-based actions, and brown-based lenses provide excellent contrast for everyday use.
