What if we told you that you need sunglasses to discover Mallorca?
Not only to protect your eyesight, but also to immerse yourself in the beauty of the island.
At Optica Santa Maria we are specialists in optics, but we are also specialists in eyewear. Our mission is to offer you the best choice of sunglasses in Mallorca.
The sunglasses we select are exclusive and of the highest quality. We do this because we believe that a pair of sunglasses should be an accessory that makes you feel comfortable, protected and, above all, completely you.
This is why we can say that our sunglasses are the best you can find in Mallorca. Every season we leave the island to select the best options for you. We pay a lot of attention to the trends, design and quality of the sunglasses, as well as the fact that they are exclusive.
Exclusivity in sunglasses in Mallorca and in the optical sector is sometimes difficult to achieve because we know that trends are contagious and many people want to have a particular brand of sunglasses in their hands. However, our job is to be cautious and bring only a few units of each model to Mallorca.
We are very clear about this, because although we love fashion and trends, we understand style as something unique, genuine and personal. Bringing in too many sunglasses of a certain type would lose the exclusivity that we are looking for in Mallorca sunglasses.
Lens colours for your sunglasses
We are going to explain the different colours of lenses that we have in our optical shop in Mallorca. However, we always recommend that you ask us which we think is the best option for you, and that you try them on to see which of these colours you are more or less comfortable with.
- Green allows colours to be perceived as they are in real life, with little change. It is often used in sports.
- Yellow should be avoided when driving due to traffic lights and other illuminated lights on urban roads.
- Orange is highly recommended in low light as it increases contrast.
- Grey is also a good choice for driving because it respects colours naturally.
- Brown is best at filtering out blue light. It also increases contrast and depth of field.
Finally, what we recommend you do to make the right choice when buying sunglasses in Mallorca is to consider the activity you will be doing with your sunglasses on. It is not the same to wear sunglasses for sports or if you are a person who drives a car for a long time with sunglasses on. And in Mallorca, although the distances are not very long, it is true that most of the year there is light on the island.
Style and shape.
There are no written rules when it comes to the style and shape of your sunglasses. You will be pleased to know that we are one of the opticians in Mallorca with the widest range of sunglasses and, as you know, we spend a lot of time choosing the glasses that will become part of you. That’s why we always choose sunglasses that are both high quality and original. With a different style of sunglasses that you know will protect you, but will always be 100% you.
The materials of your sunglasses are important.
And what are they made of? You may be wondering what materials are used to make sunglasses. Basically, they fall into one of these categories:
Organic.
Sunglasses are usually made from this material, which is the most common material used by brands to make their sunglasses. They are very durable and prevent your sunglasses from being scratched. They are also lightweight, which makes them comfortable to wear on your face.
Polycarbonate
This material is very impact resistant. This makes it the perfect material for sports sunglasses. With the arrival of good weather, if you are looking for sunglasses in Mallorca and you are passionate about outdoor sports, these are perfect. They are lightweight and highly impact resistant.
There are also sunglasses in wood, glass and many options with special features. In fact, we have recently added a new brand of sunglasses, Proud Eyewear, with a very special manufacturing process.
The materials used to make the frames are recyclable metals and cotton acetate.
The covers are made from cork and other recycled or recyclable materials. Such as cardboard and natural inks, recycled or sustainably sourced paper…
And it is this kind of detail that explains why we are so careful when it comes to choosing sunglasses.
Brands with sustainable values and awareness are very important to us.
