Seasonal allergies, or "hay fever" often causes eye irritation. Here's how to get some relief.
How to Deal with Seasonal Allergies & Itchy, Puffy Eyes

Seasonal allergies, also known as “hay fever,” are allergies that pop up during certain times of the year, usually due to increased amounts of pollen in the air. Symptoms of hay fever include sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, ear congestion, and watery and puffy eyes.

Wearing a pair of glasses while outdoors, eyedrops, and finding contact lens alternatives could help to prevent some of these symptoms. 

Best sunglasses for hay fever

Having the right pair of glasses could result in hay fever relief. The best sunglasses that you can wear for hay fever treatment are wrap around glasses frames. This is because the wrap-around lens stops pollen from getting into the eyes from all angles.

Another pair of sunglasses that could help with your hay fever allergy are over-sized frames. Over-sized sunglasses cover more surface area, protecting your eyes from pollen and other particles in the air that cause seasonal allergies.

Finally, you might also want to consider titanium-frames if you suffer from allergies. Titanium is a hypo-allergenic metal that will be more delicate on people with sensitive skin. Learn more about the benefits of titanium frames here.

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2021, approximately 81 million people in the U.S. were diagnosed with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever).

What helps contact lens wearers with hay fever?

Sometimes, people may get anti-allergenic eye drops to help protect against seasonal allergies. However, many soft contact lenses don’t allow for this form of hay-fever treatment.

One way to fight this is to consider daily-disposable contact lenses. With daily-disposable lenses you are wearing a fresh pair every day, to ensure no pollen or other harmful substances have remained on your lenses.

Another solution for contact wearers who suffer from hay fever is to switch to prescription sunglasses while outdoors. This will ensure that you are still getting optimal vision while also protecting your eyes from pollen in the air. Read here for more information about prescription sunglasses.

When working or playing sports outdoors

If you have seasonal allergies and work outdoors, especially in the garden, you should consider wearing a pair of safety goggles. Safety goggles are one form of hay-fever treatment that protects your eyes at all angles with a tight seal. Click here to learn more about face shields and safety goggles.

When playing sports outdoors, you should always wear protective sports sunglasses or sports goggles. Sports sunglasses will protect your eyes while outdoors and can also be fit with your prescription to offer optimal vision.

If you suffer from hay fever, always make sure that your sunglasses have a proper UV coating, as sun rays can make symptoms of seasonal allergies worse.

Wedding season is in the air! With not one, not two, but three of  Kourtney Kardashian weddings flooding all of our social feeds, we gained some serious eyewear inspiration that you’ll love! So it’s time to get your best looks ready because, who knows, multiple weddings may be the newest trend of 2022. 

 

Whether you’ll be in a sunny location or want to cover up your watery eyes, your look isn’t complete without a lavishing pair of stylish sunglasses.


We have a pair for women, men and kids to enjoy any ceremony, no matter the venue. So, mix and match with your other half, or get the whole family looking sharp for the wedding of a lifetime.

Sunny Golden Santa Barbara

Ladies and Gents, here’s the perfect pair to match your significant other. Let’s start with the retro cat-eye  Gucci GG0977S, a spectacular and detailed gold frame. The temples are unique, as they resemble a beautiful chain with two heart pendants embedded with the Gucci logo. It’s like glasses and earrings, all in one! 



Our second pick is this nifty pair of Marc Jacobs MARC sunglasses worthy of an invitation to another Travis and Kourtney wedding. The round gold frame is yet another classic look that will suit angular face shapes. 

 

Once you’ve made a toast to the lovely new couple and impressed them with your look, jump into your convertible and drive off into the sunset with stylish UV-protected sunglasses! In true Kardashian fashion, everyone will know you’re just trying to live life! 

Impersonating a Las Vegas Look

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But lucky for us, Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding and her glam looks were not left behind. 

 

If you’re bringing this pair of MCQ MQ0326S to Vegas, you’ll for sure want to bring them back with you. Be bold, big and beautiful through full-rim square frames that show you’re the life of the party both before and after the wedding ceremony.

 

The frames are also lightweight and durable, so you won’t have to worry about feeling weighed down as you party like the Kardashians in Vegas!

Mamma Mia, You’re in Portofino

The 3rd time is a charm, and so is the final (maybe) location for Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding in Portofino. 

 

With our LMNT collection, we want to pay homage to some of Kourtney’s looks that feature smaller shaped frames. And who doesn’t love black glasses to suit any outfit? 

 

You can rock an original cat-eye frame with our LMNT Charile C4 and have fun trying on the various colors available with our Virtual Try-On. Or, opt for a more classic cat-eye with the LMNT Slade C1. The blue lenses are an excellent match for any short or long dress you may wear.

Posh & Porsche

If you’re looking for more sunglasses for weddings, why not take inspiration from another Kardashian sister.

Change up your look with a pair of glasses that come with two different lenses. The Porsche Design P8478 C is a popular go-to for Khloe Kardashian. They’re a great stylish pair made with quality titanium frames to assure comfort even after a long ceremony. 

They’re also great for the after-party look, or the morning after when you could use a bit of help covering up your (probably) tired eyes. 

 

The pilot frame will suit diverse face shapes and complement your facial features. If you need a prescription, check out the range of trendy Porsche Design eyewear or our endless line of prescription sunglasses.

The Sporty Sunglasses Trend

Sporty styles |
Best for you

By Isabella Sara Novack

wraparound sunglasses

In the world of sports, sunglasses are not just a style choice—they’re essential. The latest in sports eyewear is all about combining style with top-notch performance. It doesn’t matter if you like skiing, cycling or golfing, there are glasses tailored to your needs.

And now, more and more people are adopting these styles for everyday use. Learn how new technologies are revolutionizing eyewear and discover the styles athletes and non athletes alike are rocking, sports sunglasses are here to stay.

Lens technologies for the win

When diving into the world of sports sunglasses, you’ll find eyewear geared towards athletic performance. Packed with sleek designs and complex technologies, they’re super flexible solutions that come fitted with the best lens quality and frame quality around. 

Polarised lenses improve visual acuity by cutting down on glare in bright and sunny conditions. Not only do they look cool, but they also enhance contrast and make for great eye protection around reflective surfaces. 

They are game changers. In fact, these trendy looking lenses make such a statement that they have found their place in everyday wear. This includes using them to help reduce glare while driving or just to improve visual comfort when chilling outside on a nice day.

Sport lenses aren’t just smart though, they’re also tough. Sports are physical activities and things can go wrong. There’s a high risk of breaking your glasses on impact, like when you inevitably fall while skiing. 

And we all know things go wrong even when not performing sports. This is why many sunglasses boast anti-scratch lens technology and impact resistance, the best solutions to both the rough and tumble of outdoor activities and the accidents of everyday life.

 But the new lens technologies don’t stop here—high contrast and colour enhancement reveals a world of vivid detail, whether it’s the gentle slope on a golf course or a hidden root while trail running.

Lens colours, anti-fog coating and polarisation work together to provide good optics and the best protection available.

All the while, these innovative lenses wrap your eyes to form a shield against UV light, guarding against invisible threats to make sure your time under the sun is both safe and visually stunning.

Sporty styles for active lives

When choosing your new sunglasses and add-ons, remember to consider your specific needs. You know best if you need to reduce glare, see in low light conditions or could benefit from anti-scratch technology, amongst other things.

The wide range of lens and frame customization options guarantee there’s a sporty frame for everyone, regardless of face shape, preference, or activity levels. Check out these performing styles for winners and make the right choice for you.

Wraparound sunglasses

The wraparound style comfortably hugs your face while giving you a wide view and keeping your eyes safe from sun, wind and dust. When you’re on the move, these frames stay put, making them ideal for sports like mountain biking or running.

Often fitted with adjustable temples and adjustable nose pads, these sunglasses come in a wide range of designs that make a statement with their snug fit. And thanks to improvements in the materials and technologies, they are more lightweight than ever. 

In fact, they’re so comfortable that they’ve consistently gained popularity and are now part of everyday fashion trends. Heavily featured in movies, music videos and social media, they’ve gained mainstream appeal as a personal expression of style.

Shield sunglasses

Shield glasses and goggles stand out with their designs. A single large lens wraps around the wearer’s face, offering an unobstructed field of view and better protection against air flow.

They’re the go-to for winter sports or cycling glasses, but that’s not all: their retro futuristic feel has recently caught the attention of the more fashion inclined, making them perfect for bold statements in everyday expression.

First popularised by runway models and celebrities, over the years they have consistently expanded their reach beyond the realm of high fashion as a distinctive design that symbolises confidence and a forward-thinking style. 

The best sports sunglasses for you

Whether you prefer the bold statement of shield sunglasses or the classy snugness of wraparound styles, we’re sure you’ll find something that’s just right for you.

You deserve the best fit. Make a statement and be a protagonist with a pair of sunglasses built for the win.

Aurora is a Digital Marketing Specialist for SmartBuyGlasses. She’s enthusiastic about supporting the marketing efforts across multiple channels. Her goal is to create riveting content that is also educational by bringing to you all the latest eyewear trends.

It’s time to take off with your bomber jackets, cool patches and white t-shirts because we’re here to inspire you with some Top Gun sunglasses ideas. 

 

We’ve dug up some classic sunglasses to celebrate a fashion staple that is a symbol for Hollywood and pilots. Ray-Ban aviators were initially designed to improve a pilot’s vision while flying, thanks to the frame design and protective lenses.

 

So, we’re excited to revisit an iconic frame style with Top Gun Maverick sunglasses, as well as introduce you to some styles that offer a twist on the classics!

At High-Speed With Classic Aviators

We had to include the classic Top Gun Ray-Ban sunglasses with the Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator Large Metal in a gold frame and green lenses.  It’s a classic!  

 

The thin frame is lightweight and fits comfortably on many face shapes, so get ready to fly high with a cool pair of Ray-Ban Aviators. 

 

But, if you’re looking for the same classic feel at a more affordable price, you’ll find what you love with our SmartBuy Collection pilot frames! 

 

This pair of SmartBuy Collection Haven and our range of pilot sunglasses come in quality materials and have UV-protected lenses, in various lens colors too!

 

Anyone can rock the Tom Cruise Top Gun sunglasses look!

SHOP AVIATORS SUNGLASSES

Square Up To Your Next Mission

Time to dust off that ‘80s leather jacket and rock a cool vibe with Kelly McGillis Top Gun sunglasses that feature square pilot frames. 

 

Why not try a pair of eco-chic pilot glasses from Arise Collective? You’ll look perfectly in character with the Arise Collective Neil in a gunmetal grey.

 

Find classic pilot glasses in diverse frame designs for an iconic yet fresh look. Even these Ray-Ban RB3530 Highstreet square aviators are as cool as the classic teardrop frame. Want to fly the extra mile? Why not combine the frames with mirrored lenses instead!

 

So, whether it’s trendy affordable, or designer brands, you’ll be able to get your hands on stylish frames and spread your wings.

Doing It Better And Rounder

In addition to classic aviators and square pilots, we have a range of sleek round pilot sunglasses for men, women and kids to enjoy. 

 

If the double nose bridge of pilot frames works well for your wardrobe, then explore all the fun shapes they have to offer. Use our Virtual Try-On for this pair of Ray-Ban RB3647N aviators and tell us you don’t look sharp. 

 

Or, this pair of SmartBuy Collection Akiva which you can easily buy with your prescription. You won’t need perfect vision to rock our prescription sunglasses or fly high, as long as you’re not the pilot.  

Elite Eyewear

If you love the Top Gun sunglasses inspo but want to rock pilot frames day and night, prepare to take off with quality pilot glasses. 

 

That’s right! Pilot frames are also available as prescription glasses for every type of prescription you need. 

 

Go from one mission to another with blue light protection in these Tom Ford FT5627 and change the look with their colorful Havana frames. Blue light glasses are a great way to reduce glare!

 

Or, opt for clip-on sunglasses in a pilot frame to enjoy the best of both worlds. SmartBuy Collection Pongco offers you up to 4 different clip-on lenses to customize your look and make your arrivals and departures memorable. 

We’ll Be Your Wingman or Woman

We know Top Gun is a timeless movie, not just because of the performance, the time, the shirtless scenes… but also the Top Gun aviator sunglasses. 

 

The particular frame design is a staple accessory of the movie thanks to the fashionable eyewear and its importance as the number one protective sunglasses for pilots. 

 

However, nowadays, everyone can enjoy the simple yet cool look of wearing Ray-Ban aviators and pilot frames, so let SmartBuyGlasses be your wingman and get you fixed with a Top Gun look. 

 

We want to see how you’ll channel your inner Tom Cruise with  Top Gun sunglasses, so don’t forget to show us on Instagram by tagging @smartbuyglasses!

Find classic pilot glasses in diverse frame designs for an iconic yet fresh look. Even these Ray-Ban RB3530 Highstreet square aviators are as cool as the classic teardrop frame. Want to fly the extra mile? Why not combine the frames with mirrored lenses instead!

 

So, whether it’s trendy affordable, or designer brands, you’ll be able to get your hands on stylish frames and spread your wings. 

Doing It Better And Rounder

In addition to classic aviators and square pilots, we have a range of sleek round pilot sunglasses for men, women and kids to enjoy. 

 

If the double nose bridge of pilot frames works well for your wardrobe, then explore all the fun shapes they have to offer. Use our Virtual Try-On for this pair of Ray-Ban RB3647N aviators and tell us you don’t look sharp. 

 

Or, this pair of SmartBuy Collection Akiva which you can easily buy with your prescription. You won’t need perfect vision to rock our prescription sunglasses or fly high, as long as you’re not the pilot.  

Elite Eyewear

If you love the Top Gun sunglasses inspo but want to rock pilot frames day and night, prepare to take off with quality pilot glasses. 

 

That’s right! Pilot frames are also available as prescription glasses for every type of prescription you need. 

 

Go from one mission to another with blue light protection in these Tom Ford FT5627 and change the look with their colorful Havana frames. Blue light glasses are a great way to reduce glare!

 

Or, opt for clip-on sunglasses in a pilot frame to enjoy the best of both worlds. SmartBuy Collection Pongco offers you up to 4 different clip-on lenses to customize your look and make your arrivals and departures memorable. 

We’ll Be Your Wingman or Woman

We know Top Gun is a timeless movie, not just because of the performance, the time, the shirtless scenes… but also the Top Gun aviator sunglasses. 

 

The particular frame design is a staple accessory of the movie thanks to the fashionable eyewear and its importance as the number one protective sunglasses for pilots. 

 

However, nowadays, everyone can enjoy the simple yet cool look of wearing Ray-Ban aviators and pilot frames, so let SmartBuyGlasses be your wingman and get you fixed with a Top Gun look.

The Best Sunglasses for Men this Father's Day

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re struggling to decide what to get your Dad, you came to the right place! You can’t go wrong with one gift: a pair of men’s sunglasses. With a  combination of style and necessity, sunglasses are a thoughtful and practical gift that he’ll love. Even if he already owns a pair, why not treat him to an upgrade?

 

Whether he’s a sports fanatic, workaholic, or always up for a mountain hike, he needs a pair of high-quality sunglasses. Men’s sunglasses styles are forever changing and it can feel difficult to keep up with the latest trend in men’s sunglasses. Below you can check out the best sunglasses for men and find out which brand suits your Dad the most. No matter his style, we’ve got you covered with the perfect gift.

What men’s sunglasses are in style?

Summer is fast-approaching, and you want Dad to look his best with a fabulous pair of sunglasses. To go the extra mile, add his prescription to ensure he looks good and sees clearly all year long. 

 

Trending men’s sunglasses this year range from heavy browline sunglasses to square wayfarer sunglasses, as well as oversized aviator sunglasses and silver and gold metallics. However, there are also timeless pairs mentioned in this guide that won’t go out of fashion anytime soon. 

What are the best sunglasses for men?

So, now that you’ve decided it’s time to upgrade Dad’s look with a new pair of sunglasses, let’s dive into which trending men’s sunglasses are best for your Dad’s personality and lifestyle.

For the sporty Dad 

Is your Dad super active and always playing sports? Bring on high-performance Oakley sunglasses. From baseball to golf, fishing to cycling, Oakley sunglasses will help you knock it out of the park this Father’s Day. We recommend the sleek Oakley HALF JACKET 2.0 with Prizm Green Pink lenses that ensure the sun won’t be in Dad’s way when playing his favourite sport this summer.

For the fun Dad

If Dad jokes, bad puns, and a goofy personality describe your Dad, we have the perfect frames to add a bit of spunk to his comedic act. Ray-Ban has an array of colourful shades that are perfect for a fun dad who isn’t afraid of trying something a bit out there. For example, the Ray-Ban RB4296M with an explosive red frame will ensure Dad turns heads while lighting up the room with his humour.

For the Dad that’s always on an adventure

If your Dad is a wannabe Bear Grylls and can never say no to a hiking or camping trip, then Arise Collective is the ideal brand for him. We recommend a polarized pair, like the Arise Collective Rhode Island style that’s available in seven colours. Made of eco-friendly acetate, these frames offer category 2 UV protection, so Dad’s eyes will stay protected on all of his adventures.

For the Dad that’s always first in line at carpool

As a keen driver, your Dad needs to look good while driving around his prized possession. Porsche sunglasses are the perfect Father’s Day sunglasses if Dad always finds a reason to drive around town, as each pair emits impeccable taste. He must look cool, so opt for a pair like Porsche Design P8478 with superb functionality that blocks 100% UV rays and glare while driving.

For the Dad that works long hours 

Workaholic dads need to look their best to work their best. Tom Ford offers different styles of men’s sunglasses, with every pair crafted with precise detail and quality materials. Dad is guaranteed to look smart in a pair of Tom Ford FT0858-N ANSEL as he makes his morning commute and, when he arrives at the office, he can switch over to Tom Ford blue block glasses.

Conclusion 

Now that you know which men’s sunglasses are in style, it’s time to get Dad a pair in time for Father’s Day. Put a smile on his face with the best sunglasses for men that he can wear all year long.

Types of Glasses

Single vision glasses |
Bifocal glasses |
Progressive glasses
Glasses can differ in many aspects, such as lens type, function and frame style. This guide will gives you an overview of all the options available so you can choose the perfect pair for your eyes.
Types of Glasses

With various types of glasses, choosing the perfect pair might be overwhelming. This article helps you understand all the different types of glasses, lenses, and frames available. Use this as a starting point to see all the options and find the perfect eyewear.

Types of prescription glasses

Firstly, you need to know if you need an eye prescription for your glasses. Whether it’s for reading, working, or leisure, many people need eyeglasses to help correct their vision and see better. Before shopping for a new pair, make sure your eye prescription is still valid, or visit your optometrist for a check-up.

Our eyesight naturally changes as we age, and sometimes it can change while we are still young. These changes can depend on genetics, illnesses, or a misshaped cornea. For each type of refractive error, there is a pair of prescription glasses to help correct it.

Single vision glasses

Types of Glasses
Types of Glasses

Single Vision glasses are the most common type of glasses. “Single Vision” means that the lenses only have one type of vision correction, so one focal length. They help correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, but only for either distance or near vision, never both.

DID YOU KNOW?

When choosing a pair of sunglasses, you should always opt for something with UV protection.

Bifocal glasses

Types of Glasses
Types of Glasses

Bifocal glasses have lenses with separate prescription zones for near and far vision. At the top, you’ll have your distance correction, while your near vision correction is towards the bottom.

These lenses have a distinct line between each value which causes an image to jump when the eye moves from a far distance to a near one. An image jump is when  the object appears to jump into view closer than it is when viewing through the near segment.

Progressive glasses

Types of Glasses
Types of Glasses

Unlike bifocals, progressive glasses help correct all focal points without visible lines. Each area transitions from one visual correction to another, allowing smoother vision.

The top of the lens is adapted for distance vision and gradually increases in power into the intermediate prescription, which corrects anything at an arm’s length away. Finally, it increases in power towards the bottom, designed for reading or other “close-up” tasks, like checking a price tag or using your smartphone.

Reading glasses

Reading glasses are a type of single vision lenses, but they do not always require a prescription and are available OTC (over the counter), even at local supermarkets. These do not correct your vision but simply magnify things to make them bigger.

They also do not correct astigmatism or amblyopia (a difference of power between the two eyes), so you can only get them in the same power for both eyes (R+L). Reading glasses help you see things close up, like reading a book or looking at your phone or computer.

The power value of reading glasses can start low (+1) and reach higher prescriptions (+4). There are different types of reading glasses which you can read more about here to choose the best one for you. In any case, we recommend consulting your opticians when experiencing visual discomfort before buying any glasses.

Blue light glasses

Blue light blocking glasses are designed to filter out the blue light rays commonly released from digital screens. The filter on the surface of these lenses blocks out an estimated 65% of blue light rays. This will help prevent eyestrain symptoms caused by blue light that can irritate the eyes.

If you use digital technology for socializing, fun, or work and have noticed changes in your eyes or health, then blue light glasses may be what your eyes need.

Safety glasses

Safety glasses are available to anyone without any prescription and help protect your eyes from external factors that may hinder your vision. Safety goggles are a must if working in an environment surrounded by hazardous elements, but they can also be used in other contexts for work or leisure.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are also glasses that we can use with or without a prescription to see better and protect our eyesight. Similar to prescription glasses, sunglasses can also come with various lenses and filters that work best with specific situations.

If you’re looking for something practical that combines your glasses and sunglasses or don’t like wearing contact lenses, you may want to consider the following:

Types of lenses for glasses

Depending on a person’s eye needs and preferences, different types of lenses work best with prescription glasses. 

  • Glass
  • Plastic
  • Polycarbonate
  • Trivex & High trivex

You can also combine many lenses with protective coatings to reduce damage to your eyewear and eyesight. Alongside quality lenses, specific frames are also available for all glasses.

Types of glasses frames

Even frame materials and designs can impact your vision and comfort. Some are heavier than others or even bulkier, while others are more lightweight and look nearly invisible. 

 

Frame types

Types of Glasses
Types of Glasses

There are three main types of glasses frames: 

  • Full-rim: Full-rim frames completely outline the lens. They are the most durable frame type. 
  • Rimless: Rimless glasses, also known as frameless eyeglasses, are glasses with no frame. The nose bridge connects the lenses, and the temples are directly attached to the lenses. This frame type is the most delicate one.
  • Semi-rimless: Semi-rimless frames cover the top part of the lenses.

Frame materials

Types of Glasses
Types of Glasses

There are four main types of material used for glasses frames:

  • Acetate: Acetate glasses are a low-price option, much like plastic glasses, with the benefits of greater durability and closer related to metal frames. 
  • Metal: Aside from their elegant aesthetic benefits, metal frame glasses are a durable material that isn’t likely to break easily with proper care. 
  • Plastic: Plastic is the most affordable option. Plastic frames make for a great second pair of backup glasses. Plastic is also lightweight and resistant to chemical corrosion. 
  • Titanium: While more expensive than other materials, titanium glasses are the most resistant. They are flexible, hypoallergenic, and lightweight for a comfortable fit. 
  • Wood: Wood frame glasses are durable and resistant as well as eco-friendly. Aside from this, they offer a unique aesthetic quality to add to your style. 

Frame shapes

Types of Glasses

Glasses come in a variety of shapes, and this is excellent news! You can find the one that will emphasize your best features and adapt to the type of prescription you need. Consult this infographic and then read on to learn how to match your face shape with the right frame. 

The frame size is also important when choosing the type of glasses you want. If your specs do not fit comfortably on your face, you’ll experience discomfort, such as glasses slipping down or tight frames. 

What type of glasses fits my face?

With all these frame types, styles, and shapes, there are hundreds of options to choose from. One way to start narrowing down your choices is to determine which face shape you have. Watch this tutorial to find your face shape and which glasses fit you best!

What type of glasses should I get?

Whether you need to read, see distant objects, or look cool, the type of glasses you need depends on your eyes and lifestyle. Firstly, if you need vision correction, make sure your prescription is up to date. Once you have that, read about the best lenses you can get or ask for online advice from one of our opticians.

In this article, we’ve covered the different types of prescription and non-prescription glasses and some tips for choosing the best pair for you. We’ve also introduced the various lens materials, coatings, and frames from which prescription glasses and sunglasses can benefit.

Remember that before you buy any prescription glasses, you should have regular eye tests by your optometrist or eye doctor. At SmartBuyGlasses, you can find optical advice and trendy and quality eyewear to satisfy your needs and lifestyle.
