Prescription Sunglasses in Wendell, NC
Sunglasses That Protect as Well as They Look
Prescription or non-prescription, polarized or classic, we carry options for every lifestyle and every face.

Our optical department carries prescription and non-prescription sunglasses for adults and children, guided by the same licensed optician and experienced team that assists with eyeglasses. Whether you know exactly what you want or are not sure where to start, we make the process simple.
Name-brand and specialty frames are available in a range of styles for adults and children. Our team takes the time to make sure whatever you leave with fits well and works for your life.
Lens Options
Lenses Built for the Outdoors
We carry sunglass lens options for a full range of vision needs, lifestyle, and outdoor conditions.
Prescription
Corrected, clear distance vision with full UV and sun protection, including polarized options for patients who need vision correction while outdoors.
Polarized
Reduce glare from water, roads, and other reflective surfaces for sharper, more comfortable vision in bright outdoor conditions.
Non-Prescription
Full UV and sun protection for patients who do not need vision correction but want a quality pair of sunglasses for everyday use.
UV Protection for Children & Adults
Every Pair We Carry Has 100% UV Protection
Prolonged UV exposure is one of the most preventable contributors to long-term eye damage. Over time, unprotected outdoor time raises the risk of conditions including cataracts, macular degeneration, and damage to the cornea and surrounding tissue.
For this reason, we stock only sunglasses with a minimum of 100% UV-A and UV-B protection. It is a standard we hold for every pair we carry, regardless of price.
Protection for the Whole Family
Children spend a significant amount of time outdoors, and their eyes are just as vulnerable to UV damage as adults’. We carry sunglass options sized for children so families can protect everyone under one roof.
Building good sun protection habits early pays off over a lifetime. Ask our optical team about kids sunglass options when you come in.
Prescription Sunglasses Savings
Vision Outdoors at Half the Price
Purchase prescription sunglasses and prescription glasses during the same visit and receive 50% off the sunglasses.
When you are already investing in a new pair of prescription glasses, adding a prescription sunglass pair at the same time just makes sense.
One visit covers both needs, and the built-in savings make it easy to say yes to a second pair.
