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.

Great staff, great doctor. Timely and friendly service. And received helpful advice!

All good

I have nothing but good things to say about this place after my first visit! The front desk, assista... nts and doctor were all so kind and knowledgeable. I was actually also recommended to try a new brand of astigmatism contact lenses with blue light and UV blocking. Not only did I get a 100$ rebate card, but I also am not experiencing as much light sensitivity during the day and when driving at night.

Very clean

The entire staff was super nice, friendly and very professional. I arrived a little early and they a... ttended me right away. Dr. Dixie is amazing, she is extremely knowledgeable and thorough.

From location, to parking. to check-in staff, to wait time, to organization, to attractive/organized... /clean surroundings, to Dr. Dixie Yee (who's named after a road). I couldn't have been any more pleased with my entire experience!!!

Amazing eye doctor (Dr Yee) who was whip smart, funny, and gave me a lot of insight about my eyes an... d vision that I had never known (but always wondered). Terry at the front desk and in eyeglasses was a dream, I absolutely adored her, and she helped me save hundreds of dollars by executing my insurance properly when the last several eye doctors failed to do so. I will never go to another optometry provider again!

Great service and products

I didn't have to wait and there was plenty of free parking. Terry, the assistant was pleasant and qu... ick. Dr Dixie Yee was fast, efficient, friendly and took time to explain what she observed with my eyes. No one tried to upsell me or encourage me to buy contacts or glasses from them, though they let me know they were available. The price quoted over the phone was exactly what they charged. Absolutely the best eye exam I have ever had, I'll be back and will definitely be recommending them.

Dr. Sandra and her staff were excellent! It is always a better experience when the Dr explains every... thing in detail throughout the exam in a way that I actually absorb the information. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend Dr. Sandra to anyone who typically has anxiety about going to these kind of appointments. I was at ease the whole way through, which allowed me to hear all the information I was provided.

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Dixie and their entire team.. She was incredibly thorough ... during my eye exam, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my questions. I never felt rushed, and their calm, professional demeanor made the whole process smooth and reassuring.
