In the same way that sunscreen protects our skin, sunglasses are necessary to protect our eyes from glare and damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.
If you're thinking about purchasing a new pair of sunglasses, understanding what to look for will help you to achieve the best level of sun protection, vision and comfort in the look you want.
Should you require prescription sunglasses, then your ProVision optometrist can show you a range of prescriptable options in the latest designs and styles.
Polarised sunglasses and sports eyewear options are also available in prescription or as standard non-prescription, ideal for contact lens wearers.

If you wear sunglasses while working outdoors you may be eligible to claim a tax deduction on your sunglass purchases. To determine if these deductions apply to you, visit the Australian Tax Office website.
