7 Reasons to Buy Sunglasses Calgary for UV Protection
I’m a licensed optician with over 10 years of experience. To be honest, everyone needs to be wearing sunglasses with actual protection. The sun is very damaging to the eyes, and those $20 pairs from Amazon won’t cut it if you truly want to protect them.
Every pair of prescription sunglasses we sell is measured and fitted by me, not a machine. We use Riverside Optical, a Canadian lab that matches or beats the clarity of big-name brands—without the markup. Need the combination of visual clarity, tinted lens with actual function, and coatings to protect your eyes. Come visit Not Another Eye Store in Inglewood today!
We support local frame designers and only carry lenses that protect your eyes for real. Here are 7 reasons why you should get prescription sunglasses.
1. UV Rays Cause Permanent Eye Damage
UV rays can cause:
- Cataracts
- Macular degeneration
- Corneal burns
UV protection isn’t about looks—it’s about preserving your vision for the long run.
2. UV400 Lenses Block 100% of UVA and UVB Rays
We only offer lenses with UV400 protection, which fully blocks UVA and UVB rays.
Dark-tinted lenses without proper coatings can make things worse. Your eyes dilate behind the tint, letting in more UV light. That’s not happening here.
3. Polarized Lenses Reduce Glare and Eye Strain
We recommend polarized lenses for:
- Driving
- Snow and water activities
- High-glare environments
They reduce reflection, ease eye strain, and give you sharper vision in bright conditions.
4. Prescription Sunglasses Correct Your Vision
You shouldn’t have to choose between clear vision and sun protection.
We offer:
- Single vision lenses for reading, distance, or screen use
- Progressives for distance, intermediate, and near vision
- Bifocals for simple distance and near correction
- Office lenses for long hours at a desk
- Safety Glasses for better contrast while working outside on site.
5. Calgary’s Altitude Increases UV Exposure
Living at a higher elevation means stronger UV radiation—even on cloudy days or in winter.
UV light protection sunglasses aren’t just for summer. They’re for every season in Calgary.
6. Cheap Sunglasses Can Worsen UV Damage
Without real UV blocking, cheap lenses offer zero protection.
Worse, they dilate your pupils, inviting more harmful UV rays in. Always check for UV400 protection, a UV protective coating, and proper fit.
7. Eye Protection Should Start Young and Never Stop
UV damage builds up over time.
We make prescription sunglasses for:
- Kids
- Adults
- Seniors
Everyone deserves eye care that lasts—and sunglasses that fit their needs.
Advanced Sunglass Lens Options Available
Customize your lenses with:
- Polarized filters to reduce glare
- Match Tint You can choose any color of the rainbow to customize your tint
- Anti-reflective coating to cut down eye strain
- Scratch-resistant coating for durability
- Photochromic (Transitions) lenses for adaptive indoor-outdoor use
- Mirrored Tint A mirror finish for a more stylish look

Custom Tint Options for Your Prescription Sunglasses
At Not Another Eye Store, we offer full tint customization to match your style and vision needs. Whether you’re after bold fashion or targeted light protection, we’ve got options.
You can choose from:
Solid Tints in colors like grey, brown, green, blue, or rose
Gradient Tints for a lighter fade toward the bottom—popular for driving or indoor use
Mirror Tints in silver, gold, red, or blue—great for full glare block and extra style
Want migraine support? Ask us about FL-41 tints, recommended for light sensitivity. We’ve matched many clients—including a Calgary-based MRI engineer—who found real relief with these lenses.
