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.

Dr. White was so kind and patient with my daughter. She also explained, diagnosed, and will treat c... oncerns that were not raised after years spent at a local ophthalmologist’s office.

Dr. White was so caring and attentive to my needs on 3/11/25. I am so appreciative for her!
- Feb. 09, 2025
Switched from another practice where I I wasn’t seen as an individual. This was by far a most enjo... yable and satisfying ye exam. Dr. White reviewed my vision results clearly so I understood what things were. She answered all my questions, and I did not feel rushed at all. I was not moved to a holding pen after dilation where I would wait for up to 30 minutes. Everything was done without interruption, and she never left the room to see another patient during my time. When the exam was complete, she even assisted with frame selection. The whole experience took much less time than previous appointments at the other practice. I’m just sorry I didn’t switch sooner! Now I look forward to my annual eye exam exams.

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.

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!!
