The Perfect Mix of Style & Safety
A great pair of sunglasses shouldn’t just represent who you are, it should also help protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays that could affect your eye health.
That’s right; even the eye can experience sun damage. In some cases, excessive UV exposure could increase the risk of eye disease and conditions like cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and eyelid cancer. However, sunglasses can help protect your eyes and lower your risk.
Take a look through our featured brands below, or visit us to find your new pair of sunglasses today.

You can’t literally see the teams of designers, research and development, or the number of months it took to make a pair of DITA frames. But you will always feel its presence when you hold it in your hands. Which is why DITA’s design and manufacturing standards are regarded as the benchmark by which all other luxury eyewear brands are judged. Founded in 1995, DITA reinvented eyewear by transcending its conventions, creating a discreet luxury with product ranging from bold character frames to new interpretations of timeless shapes through innovative technology.

Lamarca
Lamarca uses five words to define their eyewear: exciting, poetic, appealing, stylish, and original. The result of this combination is a collection that’s as unique as it is beautiful. They build their frames with meticulous attention to the long history of hand-crafting in Italy for a look you that’s fun and functional.
Maui Jim
Maui Jim is the fastest growing maker of premium polarized sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, and ophthalmic frames in the world! It all began in Lahaina, Hawaii, with a need for sunglasses that could eliminate the harsh Hawaiian glare without distorting the colors of the island scenery. Today, Maui Jim also produces stunning, high-quality ophthalmic frames.
Oakley

Supported by an infrastructure that includes the latest tools of technology, Oakley engineers and artisans continue to expand the company’s array of product categories.

Since its founding in 1987, Oliver Peoples has carried forward its authentic brand, focusing on superior craftsmanship and timeless designs. Any piece in the infamous Oliver Peoples Collection will bring an old-style Hollywood feel to your daily ensemble. With an iconic look like Oliver Peoples, it is no surprise that their frames have made it to the big screen, sported by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill and Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day.
