Most Black Friday deals disappear in 24 hours. Ours doesn’t. This November, Visioncare Opticians on Baker Street is offering exclusive Black Friday savings on sunglasses, prescription and non-prescription, including Maui Jim and polarised lenses, for the whole month. You can skip the queues and the countdown timers. If you’re looking for a new opticians, this is a good time to visit.
What’s on offer?
For the whole of November, you can save on:
- Prescription sunglasses: your exact prescription in a frame you love, so you don’t have to choose between style and clear vision.
- Non-prescription (plano) sunglasses: fashion and designer frames with quality UV-protective lenses.
- Polarised lenses: available in both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses.
What is polarised technology, and why does it matter?
Light reflected off flat surfaces such as wet roads, car bonnets, water and snow becomes concentrated and intense. This is glare. A standard tinted lens makes everything darker but doesn’t remove it.
Polarised lenses contain a special filter that blocks this reflected glare while letting useful light through. The benefits are:
- Less squinting and eye fatigue, especially on long drives or bright, wet winter days.
- Sharper contrast and clearer vision, with details that glare would otherwise wash out.
- More comfortable vision around water, snow and wet pavement.
Polarised lenses are available in both non-prescription and prescription sunglasses, so you don’t have to give up clear vision to get glare protection.
One thing to know: polarised lenses can make some digital screens, such as certain phone or car displays, look dimmer or patchy at some angles. Our team can talk you through this when you’re choosing.
Meet Maui Jim
Maui Jim is one of the best-known names in premium sunglasses, founded in Hawaii and famous for its lens technology. Its PolarizedPlus2® lenses are designed to eliminate glare while enhancing colour, so the world looks vivid rather than just dimmed
Why customers choose Maui Jim:
- Glare protection with colour enhancement, so greens look greener and blues look bluer.
- 100% UV protection
- Prescription options for most frames, so you can have your exact prescription in a Maui Jim lens
- Stylish, durable frames for every face shape and taste.
This is a good time to try them. During our November offer, you can save on Maui Jim sunglasses
Don’t just take our word for it:
“Looking for some Maui Jim sunglasses and found this place through website. Phoned up, spoke to Craig who was friendly and explained they have a good selection. Visited shop same day, met Craig who was a nice guy, knew his stuff and very helpful.”

Why buy sunglasses in November?
Many people think of sunglasses as a summer purchase, but winter is a good time to buy them:
- Low winter sun is harsh. It sits at eye level, which makes driving, commuting and walking uncomfortable. Polarised lenses cut glare from wet roads and car windscreens.
- UV exposure doesn’t stop in winter. UV rays are present all year, even on cloudy days, and cumulative exposure is linked to cataracts and other eye conditions.
- Gift season is coming. Stylish sunglasses make a gift that people actually use.
- Planning a winter holiday? Sort your sunglasses now and travel prepared.
Prescription sunglasses: no more squinting
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, prescription sunglasses give you clear vision and sun protection in one pair. They suit:
- Drivers who want sharp, glare-free vision.
- Frequent travellers who don’t want to switch between glasses and clip-ons.
- Anyone who finds off-the-shelf sunglasses blurry or uncomfortable.
- Varifocal and bifocal wearers, who can have their sunglasses made to suit their needs.
Our team will help you choose the right frame shape, lens type and tint for your face, your prescription and how you’ll use them.
Non-prescription sunglasses: style with real protection
Not every pair needs a prescription. Our non-prescription range gives you fashionable frames with proper UV protection, not just a dark tint. A tinted lens without UV protection can be worse than none, because the pupil opens wider behind the dark lens and lets in more harmful rays.
All our sunglasses lenses offer 100% UV protection
Why choose Visioncare Opticians? What new customers can expect
Choosing an optician is a personal decision, and we know you have plenty of options. If you’ve never visited us before, here’s what you can expect when you walk through our door on Baker Street.
Our sunglasses are not only practical but also fashionable, with something to suit every style.
More than a standard eye test. Our eye examinations use Dr Noon, an AI-powered technology that analyses images of your eyes. The back of the eye is one of the few places where blood vessels can be seen directly, which means Dr Noon can help assess your cardiovascular risk. It’s a proactive check on your general health as well as your sight, and it supports, rather than replaces, the advice of your GP.
Advice that fits your life. We take time to understand how you live: how much you drive, what you do for work, how often you travel and how many hours you spend on screens. That way you leave with eyewear that suits you, not a generic pair off the shelf. For sunglasses, it means the right frame for your face, the right tint and, if you drive often, the right lenses to cut glare.
Lenses designed for modern life. If long days on screens leave your eyes tired, ask about Eyezen lenses, which are designed to reduce digital eye strain. You can also ask us about combining prescription lenses with polarised protection, so one pair does everything you need.
The latest eyewear technology. If you’re curious about where eyewear is heading, ask our team about Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and Nuance Audio hearing glasses. We stock both and are happy to talk you through how they work.
Over 30 years of clinical excellence. Visioncare Opticians has been caring for patients’ eyes for more than 30 years. The practice is owned by an optometrist, so clinical standards always come first, backed by thorough eye examinations and advanced technology such as Dr Noon. Our patients notice the difference:
“Craig’s customer service was exceptional and he sorted out my prescription sunglasses on a very tight turnaround.”
