Finding the sun too bright? Try wearing 7eye Airshield sunglasses

Many people find that the sun's glare makes their eyes uncomfortable and this can take the pleasure of going out in the sun and in doing activities like cycling, walking, or golf.

With the very bright sunshine and high UV levels currently being experienced, you may be finding that your current sunglasses are letting in glare at the edges.

This can make it uncomfortable to go out in the sunshine, particularly if your eyes are sensitive to glare. 

The best sunglasses for blocking out glare are the 7eye AirShield and the Ziena Eyewear collections. These sunglasses are not only a close fitting, wraparound shape, but they also have a protective gasket around the inside of the rims that blocks peripheral glare very effectively.

Your eyes will be particularly sensitive to glare if:

• you have an eye condition such as dry eye, blepharitis, or glaucoma
• if your are suffering allergic conjunctivitis, perhaps due to an allergy to dust or pollen
• if you are in a particularly dusty atmosphere, such as being on safari or on a windy beach where the sand is blowing about
• if your eyes are particularly sensitive to bright light (photopobia)
• if you wear contact lenses and your eyes are too dry because of the summer heat

Wearing 7eye AirShield sunglasses has many benefits

7eye AirShield sunglasses are the must have accessory for the summer.

Whereas normal sunglasses let in glare around the edges of the lenses, 7eye AirShield of sunglasses have a gasket that clips behind the rims which blocks peripheral glare.

When you wear AirShield sunglasses with dark lenses, the gasket is well concealed and the overall appearance is very similar to normal wraparound sunglasses.

We stock AirShield sunglasses with a range of lenses including light-reactive ones and polarised ones.

We offer a choice of three different types of dark lenses for light sensitivity to sunshine. But which should you choose?

SharpView Polarised Grey
Choose this lens if you have an eye condition such as dry eye syndrome that has increased your sensitivity to bright sunshine.

SharpView Polarised Copper

Polarised lenses provide protection against glare-causing reflections of light from roads, water, snow, and other reflective surfaces. Polarised lenses offer the richest colours and sharpest contrast.

Extra Dark Grey
Choose this lens if you are extremely sensitive to sunlight - even on days where the sun is hazy.

Photochromic Eclypse

Photochromic Eclypse™ lenses are the fastest light adjusting lenses with brilliant optical clarity. The photochromic lenses darken quickly when coming in contact with UV light rays & adjust to clear as light conditions lower. 

Photochromic DarkShift lenses
Choose this lens if you have an eye condition such as dry eye syndrome that has increased your sensitivity to bright sunshine and you are looking for a darker light-reactive lens than the photochromic eclypse.

If you are very sensitive to glare, we recommend that you choose the polarised lenses as they will cut out reflected glare. It is also possible to fit prescription lenses to these glasses.

7eye sunglasses not only cut out peripheral glare but they also protect your eyes from dust and pollen, from the wind, and from drying out in the hot sunshine.

You can also benefit by wearing them on the plane on the way to your summer sun destination. You will find that the gasket helps to reduce the problem of dry eyes caused by exposure to air conditioning which dries out the atmosphere inside the plane.

Equip yourself a pair of AirShield sunglasses and get more out of every summer, whatever the weather!
