Sunglasses FAQs

What are the benefits of photochromic sunglasses?

Photochromic lenses (with or without prescription) adjust to brightness. They darken as you step outside on a sunny day and get lighter when you go indoors. This means that you can wear the same glasses everywhere without having to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses.

Are sunglass lens coatings worth it?

While sunglasses provide plenty of protection for your eyes, lens coatings add even more benefits. You can choose anti-reflective coatings to cut down on glare and make driving safer. Tinted sunglasses can help you see colors and detail more distinctly. Scratch-resistant coatings help prevent damage so you can enjoy your shades for longer.

Is it OK to wear sunglasses with contacts?

Unless your contact lenses provide 100% UV protection — most don’t — always remember to don your sunglasses before heading outdoors. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection screen out harmful rays and winds that tend to dry out your eyes more quickly. This is good news for contact lens wearers who run the risk of developing dry eye symptoms.

How to tell if sunglasses have UV protection?

To make sure that your sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, make sure to purchase your shades from a licensed optometrist.

How Do I Choose the Right Sunglasses?

To select your perfect sunglasses, consider the following:

  • Frames

    You want your sunglasses to last, so choose durable, high-quality frames. Whether you choose plastic, acetate, aluminum, stainless steel or even wooden frames, make sure that the frames fit well, look good, and are comfortable to wear.

  • Lenses

    Lenses correct your vision, protect your eyes and enhance your style. Always choose lenses that screen out 100% of UV rays. You can also choose special features like anti-glare, polarized shades or tints. To prevent damage, select durable lenses.

  • Shape

    Sunglass shapes not only express your unique style; they provide a protective barrier against the elements. Wrap-around sunglasses shield your eyes from wind and flying debris. The right frames also complement your face and help you bring your best features forward.

  • Prescription

    Once you’ve undergone an eye exam, you can purchase sunglasses with the same prescription as your regular glasses. Wearing prescription sunglasses allows you to enjoy the outdoors while protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays.

The primary reason for my top rating is Fred’s exceptional, patient, and highly personal service. ... My 82-year-old nana brought a cherished photo and asked for the exact frames she and her husband wore. Fred listened closely, took his time, and expertly found a perfect match that made her absolutely thrilled. He treated her with kindness and respect, explained everything clearly, and went the extra mile to ensure she left delighted. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience; I highly recommend this shop

Huge thank you to Fred for helping me find my dream glasses! He pointed out things I’d never even ... thought about and made sure every style and color I tried matched me perfectly. I seriously love these more than any pair I’ve ever owned and couldn’t be more grateful! He is excellent and clearly loves what he does. Thank you again!! Will add photos later.

My glasses were damaged during the security scan at the airport. One of the legs of the glasses was ... folded upward. I did not want to fix anything myself and left it to the specialist. I visited Eyewear Gallery and the bearded man first informed me that there was a chance that the frame would fail. So I was well informed and gave my permission to try to repair the glasses by folding back the leg. The professional man from eyewear Gallery was able to bend the leg back and my glasses were as before. When I asked the cost of the intervention I was offered it for free. I did not have to pay anything for this help even though the glasses did not even come from this store. I am very grateful to the man at Eyewear Gallery for his free help. Next glasses I buy will be there.

Dr Dawn has the latest tech to address of every aspect of my eye care. The selection of frames is fa... ntastic and the staff makes sure everything fits and is comfortable. I highly recommend this practice over any chain experience, they take my insurance!

Small office with pleasant personal service as well as nice frames

I called to check for an appointment but they didn’t have any appointments available same day. How... ever, I mentioned the situation was urgent and they really did a lot to find me an alternative doctor to see me as soon as possible. I ended up going to another clinic, but I still very much appreciate that they cared and even called me back to ensure I was doing well. Thank you so much for this great customer care.

My experience was a 10/10. The staff was very pleasant to work with. The eye doctor was every inform... ative and more interested in my overall eye health than any of the other places I have gone too. The rest of the staff was very pleasant as well. My glasses were quoted a 2 week time frame to finish and they were done in 5 days so I was very happy about how quickly they get things done! Overall very happy with my experience!

The staff is friendly and helpful. The Doctor is sharp, smart and honest. I am very pleased witht ... the diagnosis and recommendations. I would highly recommend this group when you have the slightest question about your eyes and/or eyewear.

Great experience with the doctor and staff. Only recommendation, inventory needs a bit if a refresh ... - styles are very similar across brands.

I just met Josh, your new optician. He was able to adjust my frames and they finally fit! Thank you,... Josh! IMO it’s the long-term maintenance of frames that really make the difference in customer service. Josh is a great addition to your staff. Keep up the good work!

In my opinion, the check-in software could be friendlier. If the check-in could be sent out in a te... xt and completed ahead of time, the in office check would go a lot smoother. Otherwise, the service was great.

New location is great and provides a larger selection of frames

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Gammon and her staff. I've been going here for years -... probably well over a decade by now. You will get the best treatment as well as any recommendations or referrals for services outside of her expertise / license. Her staff are incredible. On top of all that, they have the most varied options in frames I've found in NoVa.

Great staff. Jackie exceeds my ‘excellent’ rating.
- Jul. 19, 2024
Literally, the folks that work here have superb customer service. I came in with my glasses, broken ... and the gentleman. Fred did everything you could do to get my glasses back in order. Fred even left the building to go to a storage area to look for donated glasses that might match my temples, which he did find. You do not find this kind of Customer Service Ed Barry many places anymore I am greatly appreciative of what they provided for me and on a special note. They did not charge me one cent. Kudos to everybody there. Thank you so much!

I had a bit of an issue with a screw coming out of my frames last night. I came to this store today... based on the reviews I saw here and I was not dissapointed. The staff was very friendly and my main man Fred fixed my frames in about 5 minutes. Top notch place. Highly recommend!
