COSTA SUNGLASSES HAVE ARRIVED!!!
BUILT BY HAND
: The vast majority of COSTAS are built by hand in the Daytona Beach, Florida workshop. No fewer than eight sets of hands are involved in the building process.
BORN OF THE WATER: In 1983 a group of fishermen in Florida had a goal: to design a pair of sunglasses to help them better see what's out there.
BEYOND POLARIZED: Most polarized lenses eliminate glare by blocking reflective light. But Costa's patented 580 lenses go further, blocking the perfect amount of harsh yellow light and harmful blue light while enhancing reds, blues and greens. The result: less haze, less blur, greater contract and greater clarity. The combination of color-enhancing 580 technology with the most efficient polarization films and coating available make Costa 580 the clearest lens on the planet. It's like seeing in high definition.
We are very excited to offer this new line of sunglasses. Stop by our optical department and see for yourself the difference this new technology makes.
FEATURED SUNGLASSES lines include such designers as RAY BAN, OAKLEY, COSTA, CARRERA, PUMA AND POLAROID for men. COACH, RAY BAN, OAKLEY, MICHAEL KORS, VERA BRADLEY, LIZ CLAIBORNE, VERSACE AND SAWORVSKI are available for women.

A traditional prescription lens has the same curve all the way across the lens. In a digital lens, your prescription is recalculated at every point on the lens. This technology completely eliminates the "fishbowl effect", especially in high prescriptions or in prescriptions with high astigmatism.
MANAGING EXPOSURE TO BLUE LIGHT
Over time, exposure to harmful blue light without proper protection can contribute to many long term problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, premature skin aging, cancer of the skin around the eye and on the eyelids.
Most of us are being subjected to potentially harmful wavelength from blue light from the high energy visual light from the sun and blue light from LED screens on electronic games, cell phones and computer tablets.
Over time, exposure to harmful Blue Light without proper protection can contribute to many long term problems.
1. Eye stain and fatigue: Perhaps the most common of the Blue Light side effects is visual stain. Patients who stare at a computer screen for extended periods complain of tired, sore eyes and often headaches.
2. Macular Degeneration: Unlike UV light which is absorbed by the cornea and the lens inside the eye, Blue Light can penetrate deep to the back of the eye causing damage to the retina and macula.
3. Sleep Disruption: When the sun is out, the body is more alert. When the sunlight disappears the pineal gland triggers to produce melatonin, which allows the body to come to a restful state. All the exposure to devises at night can trick the brain into thinking it daylight, therefore, disturbing our sleep patterns.
New lens technology can provide protection from harmful Blue Light and UV light. Our licensed Opticians will assist you with making the right choice for your needs.
FACTORS THAT INCREASE UV EXPOSURE
We all know the importance of protecting your skin and applying sunscreen but our eyes are equally as important to protect. UV exposure can do just as much damage to your eyes, According to the American Optometric Association, too much UV leads to a greater risk of developing a variety of serious conditions, such as cataracts, macular degeneration and photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye).
Here are few factors that increase your risk of eye damage due to UV exposure:
1. Occupation
2. Eye Color
3. Time of day
4. Time of year
5. Geography
6. Environment
7. Altitude
8. Age
Talk to your Optician about selecting the proper lenses or coatings which can be applied to your lenses that will protect your eyes from UV exposure. Contact lens wearers need protection too. Fashion sunglasses are fun but be sure they have UV protection.
Did you know that polarized sunglasses are great for fishing because polarized sunglasses block light at a particular angle which reduces glare coming from horizontal surfaces and allows you to see further into the water?
