Sunglasses FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.

I went to this office because of the good reviews on Google and because a neighbor had recommended i... Show Moret. I live in oak Forest and had never noticed that this was located across the street from the Krogers I go to. Since I have a newborn, it was easy to leave home and go to the office quickly. From the moment I got to the office I was greeted professionally and received a packet that was transparent about prices. Even with my baby crying I felt comfortable nursing. My baby in the waiting room and the staff were kind. Jasmine took me to the back room and watched me through a series of exams and used the various machines to scan my eyes. She prepared me and answered any questions about each of the testing processes. She was very cordial and professional. Then I saw Dr. Turner. She was also very thorough and understanding to let me take my time if the baby cried or needed a diaper change during the exam. She answered any questions and thoroughly explained my retinal scans. When I was done. I wasn't pressured into buying glasses. My prescription hadn't changed in the past 1 to 2 years. Roberto, help check me out and I was pleased that the price was exactly what I expected and very reasonable. Roberto asked what I would like to do for glasses and left it at that. No sales pitch. Just a question and then he made sure that I was comfortable and I could easily get to my car from the office with my baby in tow. I'll definitely come back to this office again in the future. Thank you! Great service, thorough exams, and convenient location!

Dr. Turner and her team are top-notch! They were relaxed, professional, and knowledgeable; I felt ve... Show Morery comfortable. The long wait made it a slightly negative experience. As an MA, I understand running behind. However, I selected the first visit of the day, not realizing my appointment was scheduled before clinic started. Although I arrived nearly 30 minutes early, I checked in late and received a text to reschedule. I got to keep my appointment, but I’d recommend removing any visits outside of your business hours. And perhaps the first spots should be reserved for existing patients who don’t have to fill out new patient paperwork. Even though I was there from opening to lunchtime, I was very happy with the care.
