Sunglasses
We stock a variety of sunglasses from sport specific sunglasses (for golf, cycling & sailing) to well-known designer brands. We also have brands that are extremely well known for their lens technology such as Oakley and Maui Jim. 5% to 10% of skin cancer occurs around the eyes. Always wear quality, protective sunglasses when outdoors—even on overcast days. Maui Jim sunglasses have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of recommendation as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.
Sunglasses should ideally provide protection from harmful UV-B rays of wavelength 280-420nm. UV rays can lead to serious health issues including sunburn of the eyes, cataracts, macular degeneration and some types of cancer.
Everyone knows that your sunglasses must look good, feel great and be fully protective. We are able to supply non-prescription and prescription sunglasses lenses in every style.
At Orriss and Low, nearly all of our sunglass styles can be fitted with prescription lenses, these include:
Maui Jim
Rimless and full rimmed frames with unique colour enhancers, polarising lenses in brown, rose, green or grey tones. Glare washes out colours, obscures details, and fatigues your eyes.
- PolarizedPlus2® lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, allowing you to see the world at its brilliant best. Featuring the industry's most advanced production techniques, the patented processes create an amazing difference you'll see immediately.
- Their lenses block 100% of all harmful UV rays, protecting your eyes from damage and long-term health risks. Sunglasses that do not provide UV protection can actually cause more damage because they shade the eye, allowing for more UV rays to pass through the pupil.
- They infuse their lenses with a patented blend of three rare Earth elements to enhance red, green and blue light waves. These elements increase and balance the saturation of colours we need to see and filter out the colours we cannot see.
- Maui’s sunglasses have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.
- The frames also play a role, so larger frames and wraparound styles should be considered for outdoor activities.
Ray-Ban
Great style with a strong heritage of producing quality.
Ray-Ban are famous for styles such as the Wayfarer, Aviator and Clubmaster frames.
They come in plain tinted, graduated, polarising or Transitions lenses available.
We also have Oakley, Land Rover, Wolf, Jensen and non-branded sunglasses frames. You can choose sunglass quality lenses in any of our standard frames. We just need to ensure that they are big enough to cover your eyes for perfect protection. We can do varifocal, bifocal or single vision lenses in a sunglasses tint of your choice.
