When it comes to eyewear, we have it all. From moisture-wicking lens technology to blue-light glasses and sunglass features you didn't know existed. This month we're inviting you to get to know your eyewear alphabet and uncover the unparalleled world of eyewear at Just Sunnies.
A IS FOR
Anti-Reflective
Anti-reflective lenses reduce the amount of light that is reflected off your eyes, improving how you see. Rather than acting as a mirror, anti-reflective lenses invite light through to improve your visual acuity. Found in brands like AM Eyewear, Bask and Maui Jim, sunglasses with an anti-reflective coating will have a blue, silver or gold shimmer on the inside of the lens.
B IS FOR
Bi-Gradient Mirror
Bi-gradient mirror lenses aim to reduce glare from every angle. The unique design features a mirror on both the top and the bottom of the lens. The mirror squints for you to reduce the brightest light from above and below, allowing your eyes to relax while still providing all-over protection against the sun's brightness.
C IS FOR
Cat-Eye
Cat-eye sunglasses are one of the most popular eyewear styles for their flattering shape. This look features an upsweep at the outer edges which contours cheekbones and balances bottom-heavy faces, making it flattering on many face shapes. Available in both sharp edges and soft curves, cat-eye sunglasses are a feminine style associated with glamour and fashion.
E IS FOR
Eco-Friendly
Combining on-trend designs with biodegradable materials, eco-friendly sunglasses are the best way to freshen up your look while reducing your environmental footprint. From recycled materials to biodegradable plastics, the growing number of eco-friendly sunglasses prove that fashion, function, and sustainability are not mutually exclusive.
F IS FOR
Floating
Have a habit of losing your sunnies whenever you're out on the water? This is where sunglasses with a floating frame come in. Floatable frame technology keeps your sunglasses afloat so you can focus on what matters. Perfect for fishing, kayaking and other watersports, floating sunglasses take the stress out of wearing your good sunnies on your fishing escapades.
G IS FOR
Glass
Glass lenses provide optimum visual clarity without distortion. They're also less resistant to scratches in comparison to polycarbonate lenses. While glass lenses are slightly heavier than plastic lenses, they are a popular choice amongst those who favour crystal clear vision without worrying about the lens peeling or flaking over time.
L IS FOR
Light Responsive
Light responsive, or photochromic sunglasses, filter out UV rays while adjusting to surrounding light conditions. Light responsive lenses automatically activate when exposed to UV light, meaning you never have to worry about switching between darker and lighter sunglasses when you're out and about or on the road.
N IS FOR
Nose Pads
Nose pads help your sunglasses sit comfortably on your face without slipping off. As everyone's face and features differ, nose pads come in a range of different materials and sizes to ensure you get your most comfortable shape. Either built in to the frame, metal or rubber, most nose pads can be adjusted for your perfect fit.
P IS FOR
Polarised
Polarised sunglasses are made with special lenses that reduce glare that reflects off of surfaces such as water, snow, glass and the road. Sunglasses with polarised lenses deflects glare from hitting your eyes through a filter that blocks intense light, reducing discomfort and improving visual clarity. Polarised sunglasses offer the best protection against UV rays and come in a variety of lens colours and styles to suit every need.
V IS FOR
Vision
Get the full effect of sunglasses by choosing the right lens to enhance your vision. Specific lens colours are recommended for certain environments which have the power to protect your eyes while enhancing colour and detail. For sunshine and bright light, dark or grey lenses are best, while lighter tints will brighten colour on overcast days.
X IS FOR
X-Factor
Looking for sunglasses to wow and impress? Look no further than this collection of sunglasses with the x-factor allure. These sunglasses are designed with fashion in mind, and they definitely make a statement. From trending styles that continue to sell out to high-fashion sunglasses that are unlike anything else, these are the shades that will have everyone asking where you bought them.
Z IS FOR
Zzzzz
Blue light glasses block out glare from screens, helping you sleep better while alleviating dry eyes. If you've ever found it difficult to switch off after being on your devices at night, or if you suffer from tired eyes after using your computer, you're probably feeling the effects of overexposure to digital blue light. Slip on a pair of blue light glasses when you're at your computer, watching television, or using your devices to give your eyes the rest they deserve.
