Sunglasses are no longer just a fashion item. They play a crucial role in maintaining eye health. We all need to protect our eyes from harmful UV rays. Here at Thompsons Opticians, we offer a wide range of sunglasses, suitable not only for sports and recreational wear but also for those who require prescription lenses.
High-quality sunglasses.
We offer a wide range of prescription sunglasses to cater for all your needs.

You'll find great value for money, with prices starting from just £69 for a complete pair.
Polarised lenses.
All sunglasses are designed to reduce the amount of light through a lens but polarised lenses reduce reflected glare. Reflected glare can create annoying and sometimes dangerous reduction in visibility especially from wet flat surfaces. Polarised lenses have for a long time been popular with fishermen as it allows you to see "through" the water but the benefits are being discovered by many people who spend time outdoors. Polarised lenses are available in prescription and non-prescription lenses.
Whether you are waterskiing, skiing, sailing, cycling or driving polarised lenses will give you comfortable, restful clear vision.
Photochromic lenses.
Photochromic lenses are spectacle lenses that adapt to the surrounding light conditions, darkening when UV levels increase and lightening when they decrease. They also provide UV protection, even when they are clear.
With the latest advances in Photochromic lens technology, they are now more reactive (changing rapidly from light to dark and back again). Lenses are clearer, give you UV protection faster, and are more flexible than ever in just one pair of glasses.
We are now certified Transition® Specialists.
If you have previously found that photochromic lenses don’t work for you in the car, Transitions ® Xtractive lenses also use visible light to go dark (as well as UV light, which is blocked by car windscreens).
A polarised option in Grey only is also available.
