Overspex Sunglasses

This spring weather! One day summer, the next winter - as one of our patients said this morning, he needed his sunglasses yesterday but to-day, no way!

And one of the best options that you might not have considered is Overspex, no longer the huge clunky glasses that take up half of your face.

I always recommend Transitions lenses for most people, which I wear, and I also have a separate pair of Drivewear as sunglasses - they're brilliant as they are Polarised (so remove glare) and photochromic as well - so they tint from a 50% tint to about 85% in bright light. Great for driving, and I do not need to take them off if I go into a shop as they lighten enough to see well.

But for people who do not want several pairs of prescription glasses, or need to read in the sun but do not want to have a separate clear and tinted pair of readers, or love Polarised lenses but find them too expensive with a script in them, consider Overspex, as they fit well over your own glasses (so you can see) and they give good protection from glare at the front and at the side. Having shields to ptotect yor eyes from glare (and wind!) is a great idea for beach-walking or for anyone who suffers from watery eyes in the breeze.

Optica, a Christchurch company - who survived the quake - supplies several different sizes of Overspex, all Polarised, and in several colours of frame and lenses. Fashionable, practical, good value - come and see our range to-day.
