Protecting Your Sight in Style
Sunglasses play a valuable dual role in your daily life, seamlessly blending personal style with vital health protection.
Exposure to natural sunlight happens year-round, making reliable eye protection an important part of outdoor wellness for every member of the family. Our clinics offer a wide selection of stylish sunglasses for all ages, available with both prescription and non-prescription lenses featuring complete UV protection.
Whether you need single-vision lenses, progressives, or non-prescription frames, we have options to fit your lifestyle. Come visit us in Unity or North Battleford today!
The Health Benefits of UV Protection and Polarized Lenses
Protecting your eyes from sunlight is essential for maintaining healthy vision over time. Overexposure to UV rays can increase the risk of developing serious conditions, including cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), pterygium, and skin cancer on the delicate eyelids.
To protect your eyes effectively, select sunglasses that block 99–100% of UV rays or carry a UV400 rating. For activities like driving or spending time near water or snow, polarized lenses reduce glare and provide sharper visual clarity. Keep in mind that polarization alone does not automatically offer UV protection; look for both.

Why Sun Protection Matters for Growing Children
Children typically spend about 3 times as much time outdoors compared to adults, making sun safety an essential priority for young families. As well, growing eyes have clearer lenses that allow more light to penetrate deep into the eye, making children naturally more vulnerable to UV radiation.
Cumulative, lifetime exposure to UV rays significantly increases the risk of developing eye conditions in adulthood. Establishing strong UV protection habits early by equipping your kids with quality sunglasses sets them up for healthy eyes and safe sun habits that last a lifetime.
Protecting Eyes of All Ages
At RVEC, we have sunwear for all ages, for both fashion and functionality. Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with quality prescription and non-prescription sunglasses.

Our Featured Sunglass Brands
Maui Jim
Maui Jim is the fastest growing American maker of premium polarized sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, and ophthalmic frames in the world! It all began in Lahaina, Hawaii, with a need for sunglasses that could eliminate the harsh Hawaiian glare without distorting the colors of the island scenery. Today, Maui Jim also produces stunning, high-quality ophthalmic frames.
Michael Kors
Available in both optical and sun, the Michael Kors Eyewear Collection ranges from cat-eyes to aviators and from oversized to understated. Innovative materials like reflective lenses and one-of-a-kind tortoise acetates with details like the brand's signature logo charm and chain-link detail. Each pair is irresistibly chic, evoking the brand's unique sensibility and incorporating rich accents from the designer's runway collections.

Supported by an infrastructure that includes the latest tools of technology, Oakley engineers and artisans continue to expand the American company’s array of product categories.

Ray-Ban has always been durable, comfortable, and attractive from the vintage classics to the present-day trendy American frames. From celebrities to your friends, Ray-Ban is always a favorite.
