Why exactly do people wear sunglasses? There is actually a lot more to it than simply looking good, although most people don't seem to mind that too.

When not controlled, UV radiation can damage the eye's surface tissues. It is also one of the major factors contributing to cataract development. Good sunglasses with polarized lenses can filter out the damaging UV rays. At Studio Optika you can find the very best polarized lenses the industry currently has to offer in prescription and non-prescription form.

Lens colour can be a matter of personal taste, but it also offers other benefits:

• grey - offers excellent light reduction without distorting colours
• brown and amber - reduce glare and increase depth perception
• green - ensures good contrast between objects
• rose - ensures good contrast between objects; can be used as an anti-reflective coating
• mirror coat - commonly used on sports and performance lenses; offers a better overall visual spectrum
• polarization - acts as a glare-reducing filter

At Studio Optika we will help you find sunglasses that suite your style and ensure proper protection for your eyes.
