Your Guide to UV-Safe Designer Shades in LA

In West Hollywood, looking good isn’t optional—it’s a lifestyle. At Positive Eye Ons, we believe sun protection should never mean sacrificing style. The right pair of designer sunglasses can protect your long-term vision and elevate your look, no compromise necessary.

The Importance of UV Protection

Ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause significant damage to your eyes, leading to conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. Wearing sunglasses with 100% UV protection is crucial, especially during the sunny summer months.

Why Polarized Lenses Are a Game-Changer

Polarized lenses cut through glare from roads, water, and buildings—common hazards when you’re out and about in SoCal. That means sharper vision, fewer headaches, and less squinting while driving, brunching, or hitting the beach.

Designer Brands That Do More Than Look Good

FAQs: What You Should Know Before Buying Designer Sunglasses

What Type of Sunglasses Offer the Best UV Protection?

Look for labels that say “100% UV protection” or “UV400.” These block both UVA and UVB rays. Every pair we carry at Positive Eye Ons meets or exceeds this standard.

Are Designer Sunglasses Better for Your Eyes?

Often, yes—especially when purchased from a certified optical shop. Designer brands invest in premium materials and verified lens technology. That means sharper vision, more comfort, and longer wear.

How Can I Tell if Sunglasses Have UV Protection?

If you’re not buying from an optical store or certified vendor, it can be difficult to tell. Labels on cheap, mass-produced sunglasses may claim UV protection, but they don’t always deliver. Our lenses are certified, and we’re always happy to show you the specs.

Why Buy Sunglasses from an Optometrist?

When you buy from Positive Eye Ons, you’re not just getting a pair of stylish sunglasses — you’re getting guidance from trained professionals. We evaluate your prescription, eye health, and lifestyle habits. Whether you need sunglasses for driving, beach days, or post-procedure protection, we match you with the best lens and frame combo for your needs.

Do Sunglasses Help With Digital Eye Strain?

While sunglasses don’t directly protect against blue light from screens, wearing polarized lenses outdoors can help reduce squinting and glare. That means less strain overall, especially for those transitioning between screen-heavy indoor environments and bright outdoor conditions.
