Frequently Asked Questions About Sunglasses
Can I get prescription lenses in any sunglass frame?
Most sunglass frames can be fitted with prescription lenses, though some high-wrap or specialty frames may have limitations depending on your prescription strength. During your visit, our optometrist will evaluate your prescription and help you select frames that provide both clear vision and optimal comfort.
How dark should my sunglasses be?
Lens darkness does not necessarily determine UV protection. The most important factor is that your sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection (UV400). Our optical team will help you choose the right lens tint based on your activities, whether you’re driving, fishing, hiking, or spending time outdoors in East Idaho.
Do sunglasses really protect against eye damage?
Yes. Long-term exposure to UV rays can increase the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye health concerns. Wearing high-quality sunglasses with full UV protection helps protect your eyes and preserve long-term vision health.
Can I use my vision insurance for sunglasses?
Many vision insurance plans allow benefits to be applied toward prescription and non-prescription sunglasses. Our team will verify your coverage and help you maximize your benefits when purchasing eyewear.
How often should I replace my sunglasses?
If your lenses are scratched, your prescription has changed, or your sunglasses no longer provide proper UV protection, it may be time for an update.
Do you offer sunglasses for kids?
Yes. Children’s eyes are especially sensitive to UV exposure. We offer durable, comfortable sunglasses designed for kids, including prescription options if needed.
