Now Offering the Best Sunglasses Selection in Houston

In Houston, Texas, summertime is almost all year round. Slipping on a pair of prescription or non-prescription designer sunglasses is a must. At Heights Eye Studio, we bring the latest in fashionable and stylish designer sunglasses. We can even turn any pair of sunglasses into prescription sunglasses so that you can be seeing your best.

 

UV Blocking Sunglasses

UV protection is also an important reason why everyone (including children) should be wearing sunglasses. This is true not only during the summertime, but all seasons because any UV radiation from the sun can cause early development of eye diseases such as cataracts, pterygiums, eye cancer, and sunburned eyes. By wearing your UV-blocking sunglasses, you will lower your risk of getting these eye diseases that can lead to vision loss.

 

Prescription Sunglasses

If you drive in your car or spend a lot of time outdoors and need vision correction, prescription sunglasses are the perfect answer to provide comfortable vision. These prescription sunglasses not only will block 100% UV radiation, it will allow you to enjoy the outdoors and drive without squinting from the brightness of the sun.

 

Polarized Sunglasses

To maximally reduce glare and increase clarity of your vision, polarized sunglasses are a must. Polarized sunglasses work by embedding a filter into your lens resulting in sharper and clearer vision.

 

Lens Tint Sunglasses

The color of the lens you choose not only differentiates your sunglasses from others, but it also is functional. Different colors provide different benefits. This is important for patients who play in competitive activities such as golfing, fishing, football, or other sports.

• Brown, copper, or dark amber – increases contrast and visual acuity by blocking blue light. Especially useful when viewing the green grass under a clear blue sky.
• Gray – decreases overall brightness but doesn’t change color recognition
• Green – increases contrast while preserving color balance
• Orange or yellow – increases contrast on hazy, overcast days and improves focusing ability by blocking blue light.
• Red, amber, or rose – increases contrast on sunny and partly cloudy days. However, can lead to color imbalance.

These lens color generalizations do not rule out what looks best and feels best on you. It may take some experimentation when choosing the right pair of sunglasses and lens combination. But we have the best optometrist and best eyecare specialists to help guide you.

 

Sunglasses For Kids

Children may or may not want to wear sunglasses as a fashion accessory, but with the amount of time kids spend outdoors, it’s important that you have sun protection. 80% of the UV radiation we are exposed to in our lifetime occurs before the age of 18 years old. Because of this, your optometrist recommends all kids to be wearing sunglasses. At Heights Eye Studio, we have the best sunglasses for kids available. We can also transform any children’s frame into a pair of sunglasses for your child.

 

We want to make your experience as easy as possible. Our new website makes it easy for you tobook an appointment online, fill out patient forms at your convenience, and learn about our curated selection of sunglasses.
