Specsdirect2u bring you Oakley Sunglasses

Oakley Sunglasses FLAK JACKET® XLJ GOLF SPECIFIC SKU# 03-921 £175

Ever wondered why 7 out of 10 of the top cyclists in Tour de France wore Oakley sunglasses?

Was it sponsorship reasons or were these sunglasses actually worth the extra cost?

These sleek-looking, minimally designed, affordable sunglasses are probably the most versatile in the world of outdoor sports. I have tried various types of sports glasses for cycling but not Oakley. After a few weeks trial I must conclude Oakley glasses are fantastic and I wouldn't look elsewhere for my cycling glasses.

I personally thought Flak Jack frames were fantastic because of the design and comfort. I loved the great fit even when I had my helmet on. I found the lenses felt nice and strong and also gave good protection around the eyes which prevented the wind in my eyes causing them to water.

Oakley lenses also protect eyes from impacts. Reflective surfaces like tarmac and water normally cause really bad glare, but the polarised lenses block 99 per cent of glare keeping your view ahead nice and clear.

For me these are my favorite glasses that I will continue to use for when I go out cycling.

Some other good points I found are : 

1. Lens durability :

• Oakley lenses are called Plutonite lenses and these lenses are made from impact resistant polycarbonate lenses.
• These lenses go through stringent ball bearing tests to ensure they do not break.
• The lenses are moulded unlike normal curved plastic lenses found in other sports lenses.

2. Unique XYZ technology used in producing Plutonite lenses :

• Distortion eliminated are lenses not curved.
• 100% UVA rays which cause harmful ageing filtered out.
• UVB rays which cause burning also filtered out.
• UVC rays which cause cancer also filtered out.
• 100% harmful blue right is also filtered out.

3. Practicality/Versatility of frames :

• Due to their smaller size the Flak Jackets are much less invasive
• Available in both standard and larger XLJ options
• The lenses give good protection over the eyes especially in windy conditions

These glasses are comfortable to wear, polarized, sturdy, affordable and best of all good looking when on.

The Benefits Of Wearing Transition Lenses

Ask anyone about transition lenses and the first thing they usually say is it's hassle free not having to carry around a separate pair of Sunglasses in addition to their everyday Glasses. Transition lens offer you freedom from this hassle. Your financial outlay is less, and you can wear the same pair of glasses all the time - Result!

Transition lenses are also known as photochromotic lenses. They contain millions and trillions of photochromotic molecules, which make it possible to adapt to changing light conditions regardless of the environment you are in. As you move from indoors to outdoors or vice versa, your glasses will automatically adapt to the change in light shades. On a bright and sunny day, they will go dark to protect you from glare and ultraviolet rays. While indoors, the lenses will be so clear that you will feel as if you’re wearing normal prescription glasses. What more would you want?

But, that is not all. Specsdirect2u recognises the great benefits attached with these lenses. 

Here are the main benefits of wearing transition lenses:

You can wear them comfortably while working on your laptop or watching TV because the darkening aspect of the lenses only responds to ultraviolet rays. Otherwise, they stay clear.

They are suitable for all ages especially, for children and elders. Both age groups have a softer and sensitive eye lens which needs the maximum protection, provided by transition lenses

People with eye problems like cataracts and diabetes can be helped. Usually these eye diseases affect night vision and transition lens will provide a better focus through increased clarity

Adaptation with the constantly changing light would protect you from squinting, eye stress and weariness.

You can even have extra active transition lenses for driving. Your vision would improve considerably.

In each of our Glasgow Optical Practices we have sample Transition lenses for you to view.  Our practice locations are Alexandra Parade, Cambuslang, Dennistoun and Tollcross. 

To further fulfill our commitment to customer needs and satisfaction, we bring the choice of having transition lenses fitted into your favourite brand and design.  The brand ranges that we sell include Ray Ban, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Boss Orange or Prada, any of the designer brands, and budget frames can be fitted with Transition lenses.  Now, you can feel proud for having a great fashion sense and health consciousness at the same time. 

Remember, it is advisable to get your eyes tested every one - two years.  To book an appointment for the free home eye test visit*, all you have to do is call 0141 554 8886 and we can tell you the availability of appointments.

*If you are Infirm and cannot leave the house, we will visit you to get your eyes tested - free of charge.

Prescription Glasses – Just Another Accessory?

Remember how your mother used to fret about your eye sight getting weak when you were still a child? You would be routinely admonished about sleeping late, reading or writing in low light or keeping the reading material too close. You would be made to eat more vegetables and served with bland and unappealing soups just to make sure that your vision stays 20/20. Wearing glasses was definitely not a preference at that time, especially when it came to girls.

Not so, today. The constant evolution of our social, personal and work lifestyles has greatly affected our eyesight, among other things. Just look around. Every second person is wearing prescription glasses, albeit, with a tinted lens. And, what glasses? You can have anything. A large and simple frame in the primary black colour and basic geometrical shapes is as much in demand as one embedded with funky rhinestones and multi-shaded lens.  You could look into your wallet and decide to go for either a budget or a designer frame. You can match them to your dress like a piece of jewelry or add flair by hanging them from purse side. Add the sun protection factor i.e. convert it into vision plus shaded lens and you’ve got a deal.

Prescription glasses are no longer a need, but in fact, a much desired accessory. We, at Specsdirect2u, recognise your desire for fashion and understand your need for protecting your eyesight. You can bring along a prescription and then browse through our large collection of stylish frames or we can offer you a free eye test first.  After that, you make your choice.

Are you dedicated to brands only? We have all the popular brands for you; Prada, Police, Michael Kors, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Tom Ford and the list goes on. With us, designer frames do not need to be expensive anymore. We have a large range of designer frames and all of them are quite affordable. The lowest rate is £10 and you can go up as high as you wish. Visit us on-line to browse through our complete range of frames and to compare prices. Find one that suits you and let us know. We will deliver your order worldwide.  

For anyone who is infirm, we offer a free Home EyeTest, please phone 0141 554 8886 to arrange a suitable date and time. This applies only to the Glasgow area.

The perfect sunglasses for you

Once upon a time, sunglasses might have been invented as a need to protect eyes from sunlight only. But that was the very beginning. Today, a pair of sunglasses is more than just a protective means. It is a style, an ever-changing fad, a shield for the emotionally expressive eyes and a weapon for observing others without having them realise it.

Don’t believe us? Watch all those movies with bodyguards and intelligence forces and notice the sunglasses that almost all of them wear. And, so do all the stylish ladies that you see around any time of the day. If not shielding their eyes, it’s definitely up there working as a head band or hanging from the neck of their shirts. Gives such an edge to their personality!

How about you? Do you have a pair of sunglasses to match your personality and still add something extra, namely flair? Specsdirect2u has an indefinite range of sunglasses to match every personality. We are good at what we do, simply because we realise what it takes to select a perfect pair or may be 2 of them. We have a wide range of budget sunglasses but at the same time, we offer you popular brands too.

Get UV Protection!

With sunglasses, it is a must to have 99-100% UV protection as your main consideration. Your eyes are precious and like every precious object, they need good protection. If your glasses do not protect them from sunlight, they are worthless.

It is also good to choose sunglasses with frames large enough to cover the region around your eyes so that the UV rays cannot come in contact with your eyes from the sides.

Price doesn’t always promise Quality.

It is important to look for labels and buy sunglasses from reliable opticians. The simple thing is, with the right opticians, only price is not the primary indicator of quality.

Choosing the lens colour!

There is a wide spectrum of colours, shades and tints available with us whether you want simple sunglasses or the prescription ones. Try different pairs and then decide which colour and tint you are most comfortable with. Gray, green and brown are usually healthier.

Any distortion or blurriness?

Gaze at different distances and objects of varying heights to make sure that the quality of the lens is good. If you see any distortion or experience blurriness then those glasses are definitely not suitable.

We can also convert your normal pair into UV protected glasses without going for darker shades.

Head Injuries Affect Your Vision

Almost every day you hear people complaining about headaches, eyestrain and difficulty in reading even though when probed, they do not seem to have any obvious stress or exhaustion. Often, many of these people consult the nearest optician to have their eyesight tested and come back happy with a reported 20/20 vision and no solution. The problem with their vision stays right there.

But then, that is exactly why one needs to select an optician carefully. If an optician has the expertise and knowledge to identify other-than-low-vision related problems, then only you would get the right treatment at the right time. Based in 4 different locations within Glasgow, Specsdirect2u, has an expert team of opticians to offer you more than a generic eye test.

A recent scientific study reports that in many cases, the problems such as headaches, eye strain and temporary blurriness of eyes are the complications resulting from some head or ear injuries suffered in the past.

People either don’t remember or do not relate them with what they might be suffering later. You might have fallen from your bicycle when you were a child or have come out of a minor hit-and-run with just an ankle sprain at that time, but the internal injury to your head is making itself known now.

They can happen anywhere and to any of us. Specsdirect2u offers you the ability to protect your eyes with timely and accurate diagnosis. If you cannot visit one of our outlets, we can offer you an eye test at your home. Remember that eye tests are free in Scotland, so there’s no reason not to have one.

Once you have had an eye test completed to satisfaction, we can suggest and provide the appropriate eye wear for you. Even if your vision is completely fine, wearing prescription glasses can help you minimize and control eye strain and focus better. We have a wide range of glasses for you to choose from. You could go for one of our budget offers starting from £10 or select something from our designer collection. We also have a 2 for 1 Glasses offer on board.

With our on-line link, you can browse through our collection of glasses until you find something to your heart’s satisfaction and also compare prices at the same time to ensure you are getting the best price.

Get Eye Smart with Sunglasses

When we go out in the bright sunlight, we protect our body by wearing proper clothing and our skin by 

applying lotions rich with Sun Protection Factor, but what about our eyes? Going out in the sun with naked eyes is as dangerous as exposing your skin to the Ultraviolet rays. They can affect your eyes as much as the rest of your body.

Recent scientific researches on eye health by the Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization report that UV rays are the major cause of many eye diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, macular degeneration, snow blindness and Ptergium. About 10% of all skin cancer is found on the eyelids. The obvious protection against these rays is to wear sunglasses. Sunglasses prevent 99-100% UV rays from coming in direct contact with your eyes.

But then, wearing just any sunglasses is not enough. You need to be very careful about selecting just the right type and design. The frame should fit your eyes comfortably and the lens shade should be just right for you. We, at Specsdirect2u, help you to find the right fit of UV-absorbent glasses that would not only provide you with maximum protection but also add style and flair to your personality.

Prescription sunglasses by Specsdirect2u help you by adding a precise tint to your lenses. We have ready made frames with a variety of sunglass tints but you can have the tint of your choice in any kind of lens. We are always there to help you figure out what you’re looking for and to help you make the right choices.

We offer you Authentic Designer Sunglasses from a huge range of brands such as Prada, Ray Ban, Tom Ford, Police, Jimmy Choo etc. Michael Kors is yet another new addition to our portfolio of brands. You can also select sports eye wear to protect your eyes from potential injuries. But don’t be deceived by all these brand names. If you prefer affordability to brands, we have sunglasses starting from a minimum range of £10.  We also have a 2 for 1 offer i.e. Buy One Frame And Get Another For Free.

With summer right around the corner, hurry up and get Eye Smart with just the right pair of sunglasses. Speaking of pairs, why settle for 1 only when you can have 2 for the same price.

Consulting the Right Opticians at the Right time

Just as eyes are the windows to a person’s soul, they are also the windows to the world around you. If they’re not taken care of properly, the dirt would accumulate on them just as it would on any window in your house. The result… your vision gets murky and cloudy. Slowly, the world would start looking darker and darker until you lose your vision. 

Eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration are causing sight loss among millions every day. According to an estimate by RNIB, approximately 2 million people in UK alone are living with sight loss. While sight loss can be related to gender, genetics, over-exposure to sunlight and smoking etc., ageing is the most common cause of sight loss. The risk increases as you grow older but the good news is, it can be treated. Like any other disease, it is the right diagnosis at the right time which may help you to control loss of sight in eyes.

When you’re getting your eyes checked, make sure that you get in touch with the right opticians. Choose those opticians who are not only proficient at testing eye sights but also have the ability to identify any abnormalities or disease symptoms. Specsdirect2u offer you just the right service with an efficient and experienced team of opticians. Our team is equipped with the latest knowledge and instruments to determine the accurate level of your vision and check for any abnormal conditions. Located at multiple locations in Glasgow, we offer free eye testing at your choice of location. If you are uncomfortable or unable to visit one of our offices, we can visit your home and perform an eye test there. Remember that it is Free Of Cost.

Get a prescription from us and browse our wide range of prescription glasses to choose from. We have glasses to suit all ages and genders. You can have designer and budget frames for yourself. Add to that a lens of your choice and you’re ready to go.  If you want to send prescription frames or sunglasses to someone that you care about but aren’t sure of their prescription, why not use our Gift Vouchers scheme?

Our website gives you complete directions for ordering and sending a gift voucher. Go ahead and improve your vision with style using our wide options for different kinds of lens, frame designs and sunglass tints.

A Focus on Women and Eye Health

This week we are focusing on eye health for women. It may surprise you to know that around two all blindness and vision impairment are found in women. Therefore April has been designated Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month in order to promote eye care and health knowledge, particularly for women.

There are a lot of different things that can affect your eye health, some of which are genetic, putting you at a higher risk, some are linked to longevity, however many are linked to lifestyle.

While there isn’t a great deal you can do about the onset of some eye diseases, the one thing that you can do it to make sure that you get a regular check-up at Specsdirect2u. We do not just check that you can still see clearly, although that is a primary task, we also carry out various checks and tests in order to pick up early stages of any eye disease. Here at Specsdirect2u we have four local branches where you can pop in and book an appointment, or you can give us a call. We have very friendly expert opticians who will carry out your eye examination. Don’t forget that eye tests in Scotland are free so there is no excuse not to have an eye test at least once every two years.

Outside of regular eye checks there are a number of things that you can do in order to help reduce the likelihood of you developing an eye disease or condition that may lead to you losing your sight later in life.

Sunglasses

It may seem like sunglasses are a handy fashion accessory on a sunny day. In fact sunglasses do a lot more than stop you from squinting on a bright day. If your sunglasses have good UV protection you will reduce the amount of damage that UV rays can do to your eye. UV rays of various wavelengths are absorbed by different structures within the eye and if you do not protect your eyes you could be putting yourself at risk of developing cataracts, macular degeneration and causing other general damage to the eye that can lead to sight loss.

If you don’t have any sunglasses we recommend that you get some now that spring and brighter days are on the way. If you don’t know where to start then why not check out our range of sunglasses that we offer here at Specsdirect2u. We offer everything from budget frames through to the latest Ray Bans and there are both prescription and non-prescription options for them all.

Diet

Mum’s are very fond of telling kids to eat their carrots so that they will be able to see in the dark. Although not strictly true, you do need to make sure that you are getting the right nutrients in order for your eyes to stay healthy. So let’s start with the carrots. Carrots are a good source of beta-carotene, as are sweet potatoes, spinach and kale, which may slow the progression of macular degeneration.

Other key nutrients you should try to eat plenty of are omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc. It may sound like you will have to eat a hundred and one different foods to make sure that you can cram all of these is, but actually you can get most of them from berries, dark green leafy vegetables, orange vegetables, oily fish, poultry and dairy products.

So in short, don’t take your eye health for granted and if you do nothing else, make sure that you take advantage of an eye examination here at Specsdirect2u.  We also offer free home eye test visits, if you cannot make it into one of our optical practices.  We are in Alexandra Parade, Cambuslang, Duke Street in Dennistoun and Tollcross.

Why Choosing and Fitting a Pair of Frames Isn’t As Easy As You Might Think

So, you’ve had your eye test and now have a new prescription in your hand. The next bit is the fun part where you get to choose your new frames.

The question is; do you stick with the same sort of design as you’ve already got, or do you try something new? If these are your first glasses you might be wondering where on earth to start in order to narrow down your options.

Clearly the look of the frames is going to be the dominant factor, but there are also a few considerations that you might want to be aware of, so that you can ensure that you pick the best frames.  This is where our Optical Assistants at Specsdirect2u come in - to help you.

Let’s start with the important bit; how the frames will look on you. This is a particularly important factor for anyone who is short-sighted as you will have to wear your glasses most of the time.  The question is how do you know which ones to choose?

If you come to Specsdirect2u, you can easily browse through a huge range of styles. You can try on any number of frames to see what they look like, whether they are the latest Tom Ford designer frames or our vast collection of budget frames.  Going into one of our Optical Practices is ideal if you live in Glasgow, but remember you can order your frames online, and if they don’t suit, you can return them. 

The Specsdirect2u website offers great discounts, but we are also available to speak to you, if you have any questions before processing your online purchase.  Our goal is to ensure that you feel you are receiving the best possible customer service, and making a cost saving at the same time.   The website shows designers by brand, so if you are specifically looking for a set of frames from Gucci, Prada, Ray Ban or Police, you can go straight to the range that you want.  We also have a search facility to show frames within a specific price range. 

So, what else is there to think about?  Well, another very important fact can be the thickness of the actual lenses.  At Specsdirect2u, we advise you how thick your lenses will be at the edge; this ensures that you can get an idea of what your glasses will look like from the side.  More importantly you don’t want to spend money on glasses and then be disappointed because the lenses are too thick, whereas if you had spent a little more money they would look and feel better.  

It is also worth being aware of the pantoscopic tilt of frames. You may well be wondering what on earth that is; it is the slope angle from the top of the lens in towards the face. The higher your prescription, the greater the effect of this angle.  If you feel like something just isn’t quite right then it is likely that this angle is slightly off from the ideal angle for your face. This is where Specsdirect2u can offer more than other online suppliers because all of the glasses that you buy online from us are made by qualified Optical Technicians.
