Celebrate National Sunglasses Day with The Spectacle Factory: Protect Your Eyes in Style

June 27th is National Sunglasses Day, a reminder of just how vital it is to protect your eyes—not just for comfort, but for your long-term health. At The Spectacle Factory, we combine cutting-edge eye protection with impeccable style. Whether you're looking for designer sunglasses or a fully custom pair, we’re here to help you see better and stay protected.


Why Sunglasses Are a Health Essential

Sunglasses aren’t just about reducing glare or enhancing your outfit—they’re a first line of defence against harmful UV radiation. Long-term exposure to UVA and UVB rays can cause eye conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye). But that’s not all.


Did you know the area around the eye—particularly the eyelids—is one of the most common sites for skin cancers? The skin here is thin and sensitive, making it especially vulnerable to UV damage. That’s why it’s vital to wear well-fitting sunglasses that provide good coverage. Wraparound styles or larger lenses can help block rays from multiple angles, and our expert team at The Spectacle Factory can guide you to the perfect fit for both comfort and protection.


Style Meets Personalisation

At The Spectacle Factory, we offer a wide selection of stylish sunglasses with 100% UV protection and optional polarised lenses to reduce glare—ideal for driving, water sports, or just enjoying the sunshine. But we go beyond off-the-shelf options.


Can’t Find the Right Pair? We’ll Customise One for You

If you don’t see a pair of sunglasses you love, no problem. Choose any optical frame from our collection, and we’ll convert it into bespoke sunglasses with your choice of:

  • Tinted lenses

  • Polarised or photochromic options

  • Mirror or anti-reflective coatings

  • Prescription lenses, tailored to your needs
