Sunglasses at Woodbine Optometry

Protect Your Eyes in Style – Prescription and Non-Prescription Options Available

At Woodbine Optometry, we believe that sunglasses should do more than just look good. They play a vital role in protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays, reducing glare, and enhancing visual clarity—whether you’re enjoying a sunny day or driving in bright conditions. And with Calgary being one of the sunniest cities in Canada, sun protection is important all year round. We offer a full range of prescription and non-prescription sunglasses designed to suit your lifestyle, your look, and your eye care needs.

Complete UV Protection

Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can increase your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and other serious eye conditions. That’s why all our sunglasses come with 100% UVA and UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful radiation—no matter the season.

Prescription and Non-Prescription Options

Whether you need vision correction or not, we have sunglasses to fit your needs:

• Prescription sunglasses tailored to your exact prescription, offering both clarity and protection.
• Non-prescription sunglasses with high-quality lenses and fashionable frames for everyday wear.
• Custom clip-ons and fit-over styles for patients who want sun protection without switching between glasses.

Lens Options: Choose What Works for You

Our sunglasses come with a variety of lens technologies and tint options, including:

• Polarized lenses to reduce glare from surfaces like water, snow, and roads—perfect for driving, boating, and outdoor sports.
• Photochromic lenses that automatically darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors for ultimate convenience.
• Tinted lenses in various colours to enhance contrast, reduce brightness, or simply match your style.

Our team will help guide you in selecting the right lens type based on your activities and visual preferences.

Sunglasses for Kids: Protection That Starts Early

Children receive up to 80% of their lifetime UV exposure before the age of 20, making sun protection in childhood absolutely essential. We carry a great selection of kid-friendly sunglasses with full UV protection and impact-resistant materials like Trivex and polycarbonate.

Our Eye-M-Growing Program also supports families looking to provide their children with prescription sunglasses as part of their eyewear package.

Fashion Meets Function

From classic to contemporary, we curate a stylish collection of sunglasses from global eyewear brands that blend fashion and function. Whether you prefer timeless elegance or bold, modern frames, our team is here to help you find a pair that reflects your personality.

We’re Here to Guide You

Choosing the right sunglasses is about more than picking a pair off the shelf. Our knowledgeable opticians will walk you through all your options, explain the benefits of different lenses, and help ensure your sunglasses are as effective as they are stylish.
