Sunglasses FAQs

What are the benefits of photochromic sunglasses?

Photochromic lenses (with or without prescription) adjust to brightness. They darken as you step outside on a sunny day and get lighter when you go indoors. This means that you can wear the same glasses everywhere without having to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses.

Are sunglass lens coatings worth it?

While sunglasses provide plenty of protection for your eyes, lens coatings add even more benefits. You can choose anti-reflective coatings to cut down on glare and make driving safer. Tinted sunglasses can help you see colors and detail more distinctly. Scratch-resistant coatings help prevent damage so you can enjoy your shades for longer.

Is it OK to wear sunglasses with contacts?

Unless your contact lenses provide 100% UV protection — most don’t — always remember to don your sunglasses before heading outdoors. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection screen out harmful rays and winds that tend to dry out your eyes more quickly. This is good news for contact lens wearers who run the risk of developing dry eye symptoms.

How to tell if sunglasses have UV protection?

To make sure that your sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, make sure to purchase your shades from a licensed optometrist.

How Do I Choose the Right Sunglasses?

To select your perfect sunglasses, consider the following:

  • Frames

    You want your sunglasses to last, so choose durable, high-quality frames. Whether you choose plastic, acetate, aluminum, stainless steel or even wooden frames, make sure that the frames fit well, look good, and are comfortable to wear.

  • Lenses

    Lenses correct your vision, protect your eyes and enhance your style. Always choose lenses that screen out 100% of UV rays. You can also choose special features like anti-glare, polarized shades or tints. To prevent damage, select durable lenses.

  • Shape

    Sunglass shapes not only express your unique style; they provide a protective barrier against the elements. Wrap-around sunglasses shield your eyes from wind and flying debris. The right frames also complement your face and help you bring your best features forward.

  • Prescription

    Once you’ve undergone an eye exam, you can purchase sunglasses with the same prescription as your regular glasses. Wearing prescription sunglasses allows you to enjoy the outdoors while protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays.

Dr. Wayne Hemphill is the only eye doctor I’ve found whose first priority is what I want with my v... ision as opposed to a doctor ‘fixing’everything.
- Nov. 05, 2024
They make you feel at home, do not rush you in and out. Make sure you have the best testing and glas... ses available.
- Oct. 30, 2024
We’ve been patients for 3 years now and I can’t say enough good things about both Dr. Hemphill�... �s and their practice! They are top notch, caring and compassionate, explain each step during the exam and truly care about their patients. They have gone above and beyond two separate times to remove foreign objects from two of my kids eyes (caked dirt for one & a tiny wood chip for the other). If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

We have been patients for nearly 35 years and have always been treated with the utmost care. They ar... e like family to us!!

Great office and excellent care

Dr. Hemphill became our eye doctor 23 years ago after he saw our now college graduate son for his 3 ... Year Old “See to Learn” Screening. Our son and daughter have always enjoyed his humor and kindness and actually looked forward to their annual check-ups, as did we! We transitioned to his care as well, so over the years he’s seen the WHOLE FAMILY! He has helped my husband and I with some challenging vision situations. It is so comforting knowing he will do everything he can to give you relief and maintain your vision. So grateful!

Dr. Wayne Hemphill and Dr. Mary Hemphill are not only highly experienced but also incredibly friendly. Whether you're a new patient or a regular, they treat you like a best friend or a family member.
