In Texas, sunshine isn’t just a season—it’s a way of life. And while we love the long, bright days, our eyes deserve just as much safeguarding as our skin. That’s where prescription sunglasses come in, and Cedar Park Vision is here to help you find the perfect pair.
“Choosing the right prescription sunglasses involves selecting the best combination of lenses, materials, and features for your vision needs and lifestyle,” says optician Koby Caldwell.
Lens types range from single vision to progressive, offering clear sight whether you’re reading by the pool or walking on the beach. As for lens materials, Cedar Park Vision often suggests Trivex, which is lightweight, durable, and works well for all frame designs.
Tint options also make a difference. Gray preserves true color perception, brown enhances contrast and depth, green provides solid contrast with minimal color distortion, and yellow improves visibility in low-light conditions. Polarized lenses and coatings go even further by minimizing strain so that your eyes stay comfortable longer.
“When it comes to features, we like to recommend polarization for its ability to reduce glare drastically, giving relief to the eyes,” says Caldwell. “Adding a mirror coating would provide the wearer with a lens that is able to minimize the amount of light entering the lenses by reflecting it back. This gives the patient the best protection, comfort, and clarity for their eyes, especially if it’s paired with a well-fitted frame.”
With turnaround times of about two weeks and no appointment necessary if you have a current and valid prescription, Cedar Park Vision makes it easy to preserve your sight as summer hits full swing.
“The sun’s ultraviolet rays are the most common form of damage that people regularly expose themselves to, which makes having sunglasses such an essential part of our lives,” says Caldwell.
