Sun Protection
Wearing a good pair of sunglasses is exceptionally important to eye health.
Fashion sunglasses should give you the UV protection that is law in the UK, but do they always give you the best possible vision?
​
At Yorkshire Eyewear we pride ourselves on the sunglasses we sell, as we offer the fashion in conjunction with the lens quality.
Types of Sun Protection in Glasses
Sunglasses
We offer a wide range of 'ready to wear' sunglasses from both optical and designer brands, but we also offer the ability to tint prescription lenses to a sunglass.
Transition Lenses
Transition lenses or light-reactive lenses allow you to have lenses that adapt to the level of UV. Seamlessly changing from clear to tinted, the magic lenses we offer come in a variety of fun colours to choose from!
Polarisation
Polarised lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, roads, and glass, giving you sharper vision, richer colours, and improved comfort in bright conditions. Ideal for driving, outdoor activities, or everyday wear, polarised sunglasses help protect your eyes while enhancing clarity and contrast.
Transition lenses, also known as photochromic lenses, automatically adjust to changing light conditions - darkening in bright sunlight and clearing indoors.
They offer convenient protection from UV rays and reduce eye strain by adapting seamlessly to your environment. Perfect for those who move between indoor and outdoor settings throughout the day, transition lenses combine comfort, clarity, and convenience in one pair of glasses.
Introducing the all new Transitions® Colour Touch!
Light-Adaptive Lenses with a Subtle Tint
​
Transitions® Colour Touch lenses combine intelligent light-responsive technology with a soft, built-in tint, designed to enhance both your vision and your eyewear style.
​
They automatically adjust to changing light conditions, darkening outdoors and returning towards clear indoors, while maintaining a subtle wash of colour at all times.
​
How They Work
​
Transitions® lenses react to UV light.
​
-
Indoors or in low light: lenses remain clear with a gentle tint
-
Outdoors in sunlight: lenses darken to a deeper shade
-
Back indoors: lenses fade smoothly back to their lighter state
​
This allows your eyes to stay comfortable in different environments without needing to change glasses.
​
