Sunglasses

We stock a variety of sunglasses from sport specific sunglasses (for golf, cycling & sailing) to well-known designer brands. We also have brands that are extremely well known for their lens technology such as Oakley and Maui Jim. 5% to 10% of skin cancer occurs around the eyes. Always wear quality, protective sunglasses when outdoors—even on overcast days. Maui Jim sunglasses have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of recommendation as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.

Sunglasses should ideally provide protection from harmful UV-B rays of wavelength 280-420nm. UV rays can lead to serious health issues including sunburn of the eyes, cataracts, macular degeneration and some types of cancer.

Everyone knows that your sunglasses must look good, feel great and be fully protective. We are able to supply non-prescription and prescription sunglasses lenses in every style.

At Orriss and Low, nearly all of our sunglass styles can be fitted with prescription lenses, these include:

Maui Jim

Rimless and full rimmed frames with unique colour enhancers, polarising lenses in brown, rose, green or grey tones. Glare washes out colours, obscures details, and fatigues your eyes.

  • PolarizedPlus2® lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, allowing you to see the world at its brilliant best. Featuring the industry's most advanced production techniques, the patented processes create an amazing difference you'll see immediately.
  • Their lenses block 100% of all harmful UV rays, protecting your eyes from damage and long-term health risks. Sunglasses that do not provide UV protection can actually cause more damage because they shade the eye, allowing for more UV rays to pass through the pupil.
  • They infuse their lenses with a patented blend of three rare Earth elements to enhance red, green and blue light waves. These elements increase and balance the saturation of colours we need to see and filter out the colours we cannot see.
  • Maui’s sunglasses have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.
  • The frames also play a role, so larger frames and wraparound styles should be considered for outdoor activities.

Ray-Ban

Great style with a strong heritage of producing quality.

Ray-Ban are famous for styles such as the Wayfarer, Aviator and Clubmaster frames.
They come in plain tinted, graduated, polarising or Transitions lenses available.

We also have Oakley, Land Rover, Wolf, Jensen and non-branded sunglasses frames. You can choose sunglass quality lenses in any of our standard frames. We just need to ensure that they are big enough to cover your eyes for perfect protection. We can do varifocal, bifocal or single vision lenses in a sunglasses tint of your choice.

"Smart premises, professional staff. A thorough eye examination, and no pressure to buy glasses as my prescription was fairly unchanged."

Martin

"Superb eye examinations, that aren’t rushed and the staff are all very friendly."

Helen

"Excellent service. If you have a problem they will always squeeze you in to see someone. Cannot fault them."

Stephen

"Thank you for taking the time to listen to me. Nowadays no one gives you the time of day! Everything was very well explained and left feeling reassured."

James

“I just wanted to say what a great addition Jeannette is to the team, she is so thorough, friendly and kind. I wasn’t feeling my best today so probably wasn’t as chatty as I usually am but please let her know that she was brilliant. Many thanks, Vicky."

Vicky

I'd like to thank Julie for the eye test and to say that I have written to Miss Sebastian re an operation. I was very pleased with my sight test and Julie handled my deafness with alacrity. Not many people do but one other that did is Hannah who did a brilliant job on my ears.
Thank you both!

John S

From a shock diagnosis of cataracts with referrals for urgent surgery to today when I picked up my new glasses I can’t speak highly enough of the service I have received from you. Staff hit that place where they are professional but also friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend you to anyone for your excellent service and professionalism. Many thanks for your excellent care.
