New York City summers are iconic—think rooftop brunches, walks through Central Park, ferry rides to Governors Island, and long afternoons along the Hudson. But amidst the heat, humidity, and high UV levels, one essential accessory should never be overlooked: prescription sunglasses.
At La Bleu Optique, located in Midtown Manhattan, we believe your eyewear should not only elevate your style but also protect your vision. Here’s why investing in a quality pair of prescription sunglasses is a non-negotiable for NYC residents.
UV Protection You Can’t Afford to Skip
Prolonged exposure to UV rays increases your risk for serious eye conditions, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye). While regular sunglasses offer some protection, prescription sunglasses from La Bleu Optique are crafted with advanced lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays—helping safeguard your long-term eye health without sacrificing clarity.
Perfect for On-the-Go City Life
From biking down the West Side Highway to lounging in Bryant Park, prescription sunglasses give you seamless vision correction without the hassle of switching between frames or squinting into the sun. Our polarized lenses reduce glare from concrete, water, and glass—making your daily commute, weekend excursions, or Uber rides smoother and safer.
Style That Works for NYC’s Fashion Scene
Let's face it—New Yorkers know how to make a statement. Your prescription sunglasses should do more than correct your vision; they should reflect your personal style. Whether you're into sleek aviators, retro cat-eyes, or bold geometric frames, our curated collection features luxury brands and independent designers you won’t find just anywhere.
Ideal for NYC Professionals and Travelers
Working professionals who spend their lunch breaks outside or travelers constantly moving between subway stations and sunny streets will benefit immensely from prescription sunglasses. With transitions between indoor and outdoor settings being a constant in NYC, we also offer photochromic lenses that darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors—perfect for multitaskers on the move.
Dual Function, Single Investment
Instead of buying separate eyeglasses and over-the-counter sunglasses, prescription sunglasses offer a two-in-one solution that saves money and increases convenience. You’ll no longer need to stack sunglasses over your regular glasses or switch between pairs throughout the day.
Protect Your Vision in Style This Summer
Don’t let the bright city lights—or the summer sun—dull your vision. At La Bleu Optique, we’ll help you find the perfect pair of prescription sunglasses that matches your look, your prescription, and your lifestyle.
