☀️ HOW IMPORTANT AT SUNGLASSES?☀️

Sunglasses are often seen as a nice summer accessory but they are far more valuable than this.

They protect your eyes from harmful UV rays from the Sun. By protecting your eyes from UV you can help decrease the risk of developing eye diseases such as Cataracts and Macular Degeneration.

Sunglasses also help prevent eye strain and headaches as they stop you from squinting in the bright sunlight.

POLARISED VS. TINTED

Polarised lenses have a special filter thet helps to block out glare caused by light reflecting off of surfaces such as roads and water.

Non-polarised rely on sunglasses tint to block light.

They both offer the same amount of protection to UV.

Polarised is great for a variety of activities such as Driving, Fishing, Beach or Water Activities, Cycling and Running.

Ask a member of staff in store for more details.

The Sun is out... time to protect your eyes 😎

Sunglasses are important as they protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays and also help reduce the risk of eye conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

Sunglasses also help improve your vision by reducing glare and enhanceing the comfort of your vision in brighter lighting.

There are lots of different options available to suit every individual whether it's with a prescription or not.

Polarised vs Tinted

Polarised: help block glare from reflective surfaces such as roads and water so are fantastic all year round especially for driving, fishing and skiing

Tinted: help reduce overall brightness but don't eliminate glare.

We have a wide range of Sunglasses available that can be used with or without prescription. However all frames can be made with your prescription and sunglass lenses.

⭐️Special offer on premium polarised varifocal available. Please ask a member of staff for information ⭐️

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that my father and founder of Spex Direct has very sadly passed away last night just after 10pm at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy in the arms of his loving family, after suffering a short illness.

This was totally unexpected and came as a complete shock leaving us utterly devastated.

The practice will remain closed until Tuesday 21st and we will share the funeral arrangements in due course.

David Jnr, Karen, Natasha and Kreisha.
