What are sunglasses?

What are polarised lenses?
Polarised lenses help reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as roads, water and pavements. Many people like them for driving, coastal walks, holidays and brighter days when glare can be uncomfortable.
You can shop polarised sunglasses within the Goodlookers sunglasses range.
What is UV400 protection?
UV400 protection means lenses are designed to block UVA and UVB rays. It’s a useful feature for everyday sun protection and outdoor wear.
Goodlookers offers UV400 sunglasses and UV400 sun readers that combine protection with style.
What does lens strength mean?
Lens strength refers to the magnification level in reading glasses and sun readers. Reading strengths usually increase in small steps, helping you choose the level that feels most comfortable for close-up tasks.
Shop reading styles by collection: reading glasses, reading sunglasses and blue light reading glasses.
What is a glasses frame?
The frame is the main structure of your glasses. It holds the lenses in place and gives the style its overall look and shape. From oversized silhouettes to classic round styles, your frame choice plays a big part in the finished feel of your eyewear.

What are temples on glasses?
Temples are the side arms of your glasses that extend from the frame front and sit over your ears. They help keep your glasses secure and comfortable throughout the day.
What are fashion glasses?
Fashion glasses are glasses worn for style rather than magnification. They’re a great option if you love the look of eyewear and want to use frames as part of your everyday outfit.
You can find our trendy 'Zero Frames' here. With 0 magnification but all the style!
If you’re shopping for stylish everyday frames, you may also like blue light glasses or new season styles.
What does recycled plastic mean in eyewear?
Some Goodlookers sunglasses are made using recycled plastic, giving materials a second life while still delivering lightweight, wearable styles. It’s part of our wider approach to offering more considered options within the collection.
Browse eco friendly styles and sunglasses to discover more.
What is a felt pouch?
A felt pouch is a soft protective case used to help store your glasses when they’re not being worn. It’s handy for keeping your frames protected in your handbag, desk drawer or suitcase. All Goodlookers glasses come complete with one!
