Not all sunglasses are created equal. There are many sunglasses available that do not offer UV protection. The lenses are simply tinted, or there is a coating that is on the lens that is easily removed after several cleanings or wear. A good quality pair of sunglasses will have the UV protection embedded in the lens. This gives maximum protection from the sun’s UV light rays.

Getting a pair of lenses polarized helps cut down on glare that is being reflected from the sun from various surfaces. This will make driving during the day easier, as glare is reduced from reflective surfaces of other vehicles. Polarization is also a must if you are out on the water, for fishing, or for boating. The glare from the surface of the water is reduced allowing more comfortable vision, reducing squinting, which can cause wrinkles, and allowing vision to be enhanced from the distractions of the reflected light.

Eyedentity Eyewear is proud to carry high quality sunglasses, such as Oakley, Maui Jim, and Bolle, among many others. Our quality eyewear has 100% UV light protection. We also offer lens polarization to give you the best vision possible. Enjoy the summer, but keep in mind to protect your vision while you are enjoying the outdoors.

One of these great new lenses is the GT2™ progressive lenses by ZEISS.  This new lens design has been carefully engineered around the visual and physiological requirements of the wearer using the proven total aberration control of ZEISS Optical Optimization & Management.
This process maximizes both the physiological and optical interaction of the lens design with the visual system of the wearer to ensure the most natural, satisfying viewing experience possible.

Patients who have been prescribed the GT2 lens enjoy almost no distortion above the 180º line for truly satisfying distance and peripheral vision.  Our patients have also been impressed with the large near zone that is carefully positioned for the wearer’s preferred eye rotation while reading.

Eyedentity Eyewear carries many exclusive frames that are only available here in Columbia.  The GT2 lens is a great option for a lot of these exclusive smaller frames because of the optimized corridor that allows for up to 50% more near utility than several of today’s leading progressives.

Patients are thrilled to get their new glasses and discover how the GT2 lens has excellent control of wavefront aberrations throughout the lens.  This feature allows for crystal clear, high-definition visual acuity.

Williams and Hussey Eyecare is pleased to announce the availability of Intelliwave®, a new line of precise prescription, made-to-order soft contact lenses.  Theses new lenses incorporate patented wavefront technology and aberration control, for clear vision in the distance as well as reading and for computer. Intelliwave lenses are available in aspheric, aspheric toric, multifocal and multifocal toric design options, and are offered in parameter ranges that are completely customizable to match the precise prescription requirements of each individual patient. This new soft contact lens has given many of my patients the freedom from reading glasses while at work and on the computer.  The lenses also allow a person to see clearly for driving, and then also allow that person to go into a store and look at a price tag, or read a menu at a restaurant.  Theses lenses correct for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
