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.

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!

I have been coming to this optical place for the past 3 years. Dr Bui is such a wonderful and caring... doctor. She is very thorough in her exams to an accurate result with my glasses. The staff is friendly and Maggie gave me such an excellent service selecting my glasses and placing my order for them. Dino is also a very excellent person. I had him before and he is great as well. I’m very happy with my results at this place and I highly recommend it!

I’ve been going to Memorial Eye Care for a couple years now. They have great customer service; fro... m the front desk to the doctors, they make you feel at ease. Dr Bui is great. She takes her time to explain everything. I’ve moved away from the area but I’ll still drive an hour away for my eye exam. She genuinely cares about you and your eye health. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new optometrist.

I had an amazing experience with Sandra Bui at Memorial Eye Center - Wilcrest. I woke up on a Saturd... ay with pain, blurry vision, redness, and light sensitivity in my left eye. I was concerned that nothing would be open, but found this place on google. I called and asked if they take walk-ins. The person on the phone was very accommodating and got me an appointment with-in the hour. I had little to no wait and was greeted by Dr. Bui. She was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and how I could fix it. She was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. I appreciated how she also explained everything to my family member and included them in the discussions. Dr. Bui even followed up on Monday to make sure I was doing better with a personal phone call. This was an easy and great experience for a not-so-fun situation. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Sandra Bui has been my optometrist for quite a few years now and her knowledge of optometry and ... rapport with patients is unmatched. I just visited her yesterday and my prescription hasn’t changed. I had a swift and seamless appointment and the office is good about reminders, sending emails, phone calls, and texts to make sure that your insurance has been verified and to know the reason behind your appointment so that you can be taken care of. I couldn’t ask for more in an office or in an eye doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Bui and her team!

I have a very pleasant experience today at my exam. Super happy with Dr. Nguyen. He took his time ... to let you ask questions. He also ask you many questions pertaining to your situation and offer suggestions. I highly recommend anyone need anything optometry, please check this Memorial Eye Center out.
