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.

Efficient and friendly service and appear to have latest technology for understanding vision issues.... This was my first time at this location. Dr Khong is very thorough and what I really appreciate is determining a balance between vision needs the patient lifestyle. Offered numerous options and ultimately let the patient choose. I no longer will miss any future appointments.

Tl;dr: Good pricing, great service, excellent people. I very rarely give five stars, but they earn i... t! I went to a different Memorial Eye location, and found that my appointment didn't go through. The nice fellow there called over to Wilcrest and got me in last minute. Yvette greeted me and took my intake information. She was friendly and helpful; and patient as she administered the initial testing. Dr. Bui was great! She was so patient, and explained everything I asked about. She's a warm and friendly person, she clearly does this for the right reasons. My optician was Madji, and she was just lovely! Helpful and charming, she generously stayed late to make sure that I had everything I needed taken care of. When I came back to pick up my glasses, she took the time to adjust them properly (my ears are uneven, and most opticians just shrug off how my glasses sit crooked). I will definitely keep Memorial Eye Wilcrest as my preferred eye care! Thank you, all!
