Sunglasses — Common Questions

Everything you need to know before picking your next pair.

Does insurance cover prescription sunglasses?

Yes — most employer health plans cover prescription sunglasses. We direct bill 30+ providers including Alberta Blue Cross, Canada Life, Desjardins, AISH, and Alberta Works. Bring your card and we handle the claim.

How fast can I get prescription sunglasses?

Single vision: Same day at our Ellerslie Road location. Progressive & specialty: 7–10 business days. Book an eye exam and browse frames in one visit.

Polarized vs gradient vs photochromic?

Polarized cuts glare from water, snow, and roads — best for driving and outdoor sports. Gradient is darker at top, lighter at bottom — great for everyday. Photochromic darkens automatically in sunlight — glasses and sunglasses in one.

Why does UV protection matter in Edmonton?

Edmonton gets 2,300+ hours of sunshine per year — UV is just as strong in winter reflecting off snow. Every pair at Charm Optical blocks 100% UVA and UVB. Consider polarized lenses for extra glare protection.

Can I add polarized lenses to any frame?

Yes — polarized lenses can be fitted into almost any sunglasses frame including Ray-Ban, Oakley, Maui Jim, and Gucci. Available in prescription and non-prescription. Ask our opticians for details.
