Sunglasses

Whether you are looking for an all-inclusive prescription sunglass package or simply top designer shades, Benjamin’s offer the advice and selection you need.

We are all becoming more aware of the long term damage that excessive exposure to the sun’s ultra violet rays can cause to our skin and eyes. Whether you view sunglasses as necessary sun protection or a high fashion accessory, at Benjamin’s we aim to combine the two to offer advice on ultra-violet protection whilst giving a feel good look of style and satisfaction.

Ray Ban Sunglasses at Benjamin Opticians

Sunglasses for work and play….

Many sports and hobbies can benefit from polarised sun protection. Polarised lenses not only help with the problem of sensitivity but also reduce glare. This can be of benefit when driving, golfing, sailing, fishing, skiing, shooting and many other activities. Lenses and frames can be supplied which have been designed specifically for these individual requirements. Our private dispensing room are the perfect place to try out our extensive range of sunglasses.

Ultra-violet protection

Not all sunglasses provide adequate UV protection, meaning wearing them can be worse for your eyes than not wearing them at all.

All our sunglass lenses contain ultra-violet protection and colours can be tailored to your particular taste and depth of colour required.

If you require prescription sunglasses for distance, reading or both combined, we offer an all-inclusive range with prices starting from just £89.00.

Lenses for style and comfort….

A lens with an ultra violet filter is essential for protection combined with a wide choice of tints to reduce the amount of light entering the eyes, making your vision more comfortable.

Transitions – the world’s most well know light activated lenses – can be fitted into the frame of your choice, offering prescription clarity and vision which will tint automatically as light conditions vary.

We also offer Experio polarised lenses for the ultimate protection from the sun. Perfect for driving or when in bright constant holiday sunshine.

Our range includes designer names such as:
