Sunglasses started as a fashion accessory. However With so many advancements and also due to awareness about UV protection, Glare protection, Impact resistant properties, choosing a right sunglasses for your requirement is no longer a simple job. It would be a safe assumption that most often UV protection is available in all good sunglasses, but upto what nanometers is very important. The range can be from 380 nm to 420 nm. You can check your sunglass at the clinic for the level of UV cut off. UV exposure is required for kids for Myopia control.
What is this?
Why is it important?
Who needs it?
How is it controlled?
Maui Jims are one Of the best Sunglasses available. They are made With lenses having very high abbe number for better sharpness Of vision, in high impact resistant materials and in 4 types of tints which are indicated for specific requirements.
Few celebrities who wear Maui Jims are — Shri Narendra Modi, Mr. Mahindra Singh Dhoni, Mr. Barrack Obama and Pope.
There is no one word answer to whether kids should wear Sunglasses or not. I-JV rays are damaging and protection is definitely required, however some amount of UV exposure is required to prevent Myopia. There is a component in day light and in UV rays that may be helping the eyes to avoid the requirement of spectacles.
As of now, we believe that the sunglasses should be UV protected and if the child is wearing spectacles then one could be UV protected and another could be without UV protection. So the child gets best of both.

Our Story
Few years into the profession we realised that a speciality Vision care Clinic is not available to serve the needs of people with vision related problems.
Among the many eye clinics, rarely anyone dealt with Vision issues the way it should be done.
Saoji Contact lens clinic (Sitabuldi) was serving the people of Nagpur
since 1969, but scope of practice was limited to Contact lenses.
In 2000 we started Saoji Vision care, an Optometry clinic having all faculties of Optometry like Speciality Contact lenses, Binocular Vision clinic and therapy, Customised artificial eyes, Scientific spectacle dispensing.
At SVC as we all lovingly call the clinic, we believe in giving the most apt Vision care solutions to all our patients.
