Sunglasses – Leesburg, Eustis, Clermont

In the beautiful area of Lake County, Florida, wearing shades is a “must”! Dr. Michael P. Pennachio of Total Eye Care Center offers tips to help you choose the right sunglasses for any situation in Leesburg, Eustis, or Clermont.

DR. MICHAEL P. PENNACHIO: When choosing sunglasses, it really depends on what you're going to use your sunglasses for, what your activity level is. If it's just out of protection while driving, simple gray sunglasses work very well. On the water, you use polarization. That's important. Specific uses such as fishing, golfing, different tints make a difference. Also very important is safety. If one is playing sports, obviously, glasses that will hold up to that particular sport, whether it's cycling or baseball, is important. So not only is it the lens, the frame is important. The material the lens is made out of, whether there's polycarbon in there for shadow-resistant tints make a big difference. First we start with activities. And then we carry the eyeglass and the frames to that activity. Our optical have a wide selection of sunglasses, whether they purchase for fashion or whether they're for a specific sport. We have some of the leading manufacturers in fishing sunglasses, as well as other sports. So whether or not someone just wants to look good in a pair of sunglasses or whether someone wants high performance sunglasses for very demanding activities, we cover the gamut.
