Custom Sunglasses

Wrap sunglasses provide additional side coverage, helping reduce sunlight entering from peripheral angles. This design can be beneficial for outdoor activities such as cycling, boating, fishing and other situations where glare and reflected light are common.

Not necessarily. Lens darkness affects visible light transmission, while UV protection depends on the lens material and protective coating. A lightly tinted lens can provide the same UV protection as a much darker lens if it has the appropriate UV-blocking properties.

Classic plastic frame sunglasses remain one of the most widely used styles because they suit a broad range of face shapes and activities. Wrap sunglasses and novelty styles are also commonly selected for sporting events, festivals and outdoor promotions.

Minor surface marks can sometimes be reduced, but deep scratches generally cannot be fully repaired without affecting optical clarity. In most cases, severely scratched lenses are replaced rather than restored.

Comfort is influenced by factors such as frame weight, temple design, nose bridge fit and overall frame width. Even lightweight sunglasses can become uncomfortable if the frame shape does not suit the wearer's face.

Wooden sunglasses can be highly durable when properly constructed, but their performance depends on the timber used, protective coatings and overall frame design. Plastic frames generally offer greater flexibility, while wooden frames are often chosen for their distinctive appearance.

Our product specialist, Rebecca, says: "One of the most common misconceptions is that darker lenses automatically provide better UV protection. In reality, UV protection comes from the lens material and protective treatments, not the darkness of the tint. I've seen very dark lenses with limited UV protection and lightly tinted lenses that provide excellent protection. When comparing sunglasses, it's important to look beyond lens colour alone."
