We are here to make sure your eye health is optimal. We’re also here to advise you on the latest trends in the eyewear industry 😉

Oversized round sunglasses are in for this summer, bringing back the bold, glamorous look inspired by ‘70s fashion. We have some really beautiful options from Caroline Abram and Gucci in store right now, whether you want something oversized and dramatic or a more wearable everyday version of the trend.

Stop by Kennedy & Perkins and our team will help you find a pair that fits your style perfectly!

Miu Miu is everywhere right now… and for good reason.

The Glimpse sunglasses don’t hold back. Glossy black frames, a sleek oval shape, and oversized gold logo detailing that makes the statement for you.

Summer is coming. Your sunglasses should be ready before you are.

Everyone has their answer… but one affects everything else.

Your vision.

From reading signs to reacting quickly, even the smallest changes in your eyesight can impact how safely you drive. It’s easy to assume you’re seeing clearly until you’re not.

If it’s been a while since your last eye exam, consider this your reminder.

📍Visit us in-store to make sure everything is as clear as it should be.

You would never guess these are anything more than prescription glasses. They are customized to your vision and designed to feel just like the Ray-Ban frames you already know.

What makes them unique is how seamlessly the features are built in. You can take phone calls hands free, listen to directions or music, and capture photos or short videos without reaching for your phone. Everything is built into a lightweight frame that wears like regular prescription glasses.

Available at Kennedy & Perkins. Our experienced opticians are happy to walk you through the features and answer any questions in person. 📸👓

Polarized lenses, like these Chanel sunglasses, reduce reflected glare from snow. The result is clearer detail and softer winter light. After all the snow across Connecticut this week, protecting your eyes from harsh reflection is more important than ever. Visit any Kennedy & Perkins location in to explore our selection of designer sunglasses!
