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.

I have been a patient at Kirn Family Eye Care for over 20 years. Both Dr. Kirn and Dr. White are exc... ellent at their job. Screenings are done for certain conditions on a regular basis to make sure that no problems exist. They are friendly and make you feel comfortable, like you are one of their family. I highly recommend both of them.

Excellent care and service! I was able to get an appointment the same day with an eye concern!

Dr. White is one of the most caring and understanding, not just doctor, but humans I have encountere... d in my life. She listens and really hears you when you see her. As someone dealing with some not so common issues, she has helped me clear up issues ive had for over a decade and also made sure to provide a referral to the best options for things outside of her specialty. I will recommend Dr. White to every person I can. She is a life-saver!!

Went in for an eye appointment, they made me feel super comfortable, and everyone was pleasant and f... un to talk to! Dr. White listened to everything I had to say, made me feel comfortable about being there, and I wasn't as scared as I usually am. The woman who helped me pick out my glasses was wonderful and the receptionists were very friendly! Overall, great experience!
- Aug. 19, 2019
I've been a patient of Dr. White since she and her husband opened their practice together. I am one... of those people whose eye sight has to be exactly "right on" and Dr. White comes through each time. She is patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable in her field, very concerned about her patients, etc...I could go on and on. I would never trust my eyes to anyone else. I think that says it all!
- Nov. 08, 2018
Always a pleasant experience and everyone is friendly. I have been going to Kirn Family Eye Care my ... entire life. I had an emergency one time and they were able to get me in. This truly is a great family business!

Great experiences here. I've been seeing eye doctors since I was in second grade (So, like 30+ year... s). Kirn Family Eye care has met my expectations in every way. Staff is very friendly. They have ample evening hours. Lately, I've been seeing Dr. White and she's great. I had seen Dr. Kirn in the past. He was great, too. I gladly recommend them to anyone.
