Types of Specialty Eyewear We Offer


Computer Glasses

Spending long hours in front of screens can cause digital eye strain and discomfort. Our computer glasses incorporate blue light-blocking technology and anti-glare lenses to help minimize eye fatigue and protect your vision from the effects of prolonged screen exposure. If you work on a computer or regularly use digital devices, computer glasses are a valuable tool to keep your eyes healthy.

Safety Glasses

Safety glasses are essential if you work in an environment with physical hazards, such as a construction site, laboratory, or manufacturing facility. Our safety eyewear provides durable frames and impact-resistant lenses that meet industry safety standards, offering reliable eye protection. Knowing that our safety eyewear safeguards your vision against debris, chemicals, and other workplace risks, you can work confidently.

Sports Eyewear

Sports eyewear provides stable, clear vision and added protection during physical activities for athletes and those with an active lifestyle. Our collection includes options with impact-resistant, UV-protective lenses and specialized frames suited to various sports. If you need wraparound frames for cycling or anti-fog lenses for swimming, we customize our sports eyewear to assist you in performing at your best while ensuring the safety of your eyes.

Prescription Sunglasses

Prescription sunglasses offer the best of both worlds by providing the vision correction you need and protection from the sun. With polarized lenses to reduce glare and advanced UV-blocking technology, prescription sunglasses are ideal for outdoor activities, whether you’re enjoying a sunny day at the beach or spending hours on the road. Say goodbye to switching between sunglasses and regular glasses—these lenses do it all.

Driving Glasses

Driving glasses improve visibility by using glare from reflective surfaces and oncoming headlights, making them ideal for day and night driving. With polarized lenses that enhance contrast, driving glasses help you focus on the road and see clearly in varying light conditions. They’re a great choice if you spend a lot of time driving or experience discomfort from glare while behind the wheel.
