Sunglasses, or “sunnies” as they are commonly referred to, are a popular fashion accessory that not only protects your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays but also make a statement about your personal style. With so many different styles, colors, and shapes available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one to wear. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you choose sunglasses for every occasion, from casual to formal. The Spectacle Shoppe has a wide selection of sunglasses to choose from, so you can find the perfect pair for any event.

These days you can buy pretty much everything online, right? But for some things, it’s best not to go that way. Glasses, for instance. There are many reasons why you should select your prescription eyewear in a brick-and-mortar shop, where real, qualified humans can assist you not only with your choice of frames but, most importantly, advise you on the crucial selection of the lenses that will improve your vision.

Eyewear is a broad category that includes everything from spectacles to performance eye protectors. Different quality standards may apply to different eyewear depending on the type and intended purpose. However, durability and product safety remain important considerations across the board. As experts in the field, we at The Spectacle Shoppe conduct a wide range of performance tests and lab tests for all types of eyewear. We can help you ensure that your product meets the quality and safety requirements of your destination market, as well as all applicable international standards.

Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific industry, and the eyecare and optical business is no exception.

Of our five basic senses, our sight is probably the most indispensable. This said many people worldwide require eyewear such as spectacles or contact lenses to aid vision or to correct such defects of vision as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Similarly, sunglasses are designed to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes.

Sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory, and they come in various looks and styles. But, aside from being an essential style accessory, sunglasses offer countless benefits to your eyes, vision, and the skin around your eyes.

A lot of our Vancouver glasses customers wear eyeglasses regularly instead of contact lenses. Wearing glasses means you don’t have to worry as much about dry eye or irritation, you can shave a few minutes off your morning and bedtime routines, and you’re not in danger of losing a lens if you get poked in the eye while playing sports. But there is the sunglasses conundrum. Switching from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses can be a pain. You always have to remember to bring your sunnies with you and it’s easy to lose them (or your glasses) when it’s time…

You go online or walk into an eyewear store and the choices for glasses can seem endless. Is there a trick for how to choose glasses? Should you just grab the first pair that appeals to you or is it better to spend hours trying all of the frames on?

A number of sports require protective gear, ranging from full-on pads and helmets to just a mouthguard or shin guards. However, many times, the eyes are left exposed, as it’s not all that common for protective sports eyewear to be mandated. Often, only people who normally wear prescription eyeglasses will turn to sports glasses. Yet, anyone can benefit from them. Today, we’re discussing eye safety for athletes and sharing tips to protect your vision. THE PREVALENCE OF SPORTS-RELATED EYE INJURIES It’s estimated that around 30,000 sports-related eye injuries are seen at the emergency room in the United States every year. It also…

While nothing beats getting help from an eyewear pro at the Spectacle Shoppe, we thought we’d have a little fun by putting together a quiz to determine which eyeglass frames match your personality.

More and more people are working from home in an effort to practice social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.

It might seem like almost everyone you know eventually has to wear glasses at some point in their life. Why is that? Well, meet presbyopia, a completely natural and normal loss of the ability to focus on things up close that typically happens after the age of 40. The bad news is, no one can escape it and presbyopia inevitably affects everyone. The good news is, some people notice a minimal impact and for everyone else, the issue is easily fixed by wearing reading glasses or switching up your current contacts or lenses to account for near vision. In fact,…

There has been a lot of buzz around blue light. We actually wrote about the health effects of blue light all the way back in 2015. At that time, research on the subject was really just beginning in earnest. Now, as more studies have been done and we’ve become even more immersed in major sources of blue light like digital devices, we felt like it was time to revisit the topic. WHAT IS BLUE LIGHT? First things first, what is blue light? Any time we walk outside or turn on the lights, we’re exposed to a whole bunch of different visible light…

Having dry eyes is uncomfortable. Your eyes might feel irritated and scratchy or you could even experience blurred vision. Sometimes, people just live with the symptoms thinking they’ll go away on their own or that it’s not that big of a deal. However, if you’re suffering from dry eye syndrome, it is a chronic condition that can be progressive, depending on the cause and how severe it is.
