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.

Just wanted to say thanks to Kristin and the team at Eyes for going above and beyond to help me with... my glasses needs. They are fantastic!

Shout out to my girl Athena who helped me pick and order the perfect pair of glasses over my many an... d sporadic visits to narrow down my choices. She also helped me get the best price possible and reminded me that I could use my FSA to help pay! Phew! So glad Athena was there to help. Best service I've ever had.

Since I moved to Denver, I have been going to EOTW Wash Park. I have received excellent care from t... he doctors, and astounding customer service from Roman, a member of the management team. Most recently, he communicated with me outside of business hours and helped me get a pair of new RX sunglasses ordered through my insurance company when my beloved pair of shades were tragically destroyed. Total life saver!!!

I always look forward going to the eye doctor at eyes of the world! They make the exam quick and eas... y but still take the time to get to know you on a personal level, it feels like visiting with old family friends they always remember a face when you walk in the door. And when it comes time to choose your glasses you can put your full trust into the gang upstairs! They will tell you what looks good and what doesn’t suit you it’s like playing dress up. It turns an experience that can be stressful and overwhelming into a time of laughing having fun and finding your perfect fit. As long as I have an option to go to this location I will. They’re incredible!

Athena and Roman: This is what good customer service is about; I take that back, this is ol' school ... service from back in the day! Period! You are NOT a number. I just love this place. Athena and Roman, of course the whole team, is amazing. This is what local business is all about, knowing your customer, and delivering. Please come here instead of chain business. It's a friendship customer service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Love you guys!
