Sunglasses
Four, and all of them polarised
We make fewer sunglasses than glasses on purpose. These are the four shapes that suit the most faces and the most light.
Four sunglasses
All four are polarised and all four are category 3, which is the tint you actually want between eleven and three here.
Stocking the shelves…
Lenses and light
What the tint is actually doing
Polarised, and why
A polarising filter kills the glare bouncing off water, off wet tarmac and off the bonnet of the car in front. On the coast road that is the difference between squinting and driving.
Category 3, not 4
Category 4 is darker and is not legal to drive in. Everything we make is category 3, which is as dark as a lens can be and still be a pair of sunglasses rather than a pair of goggles.
With your prescription
Any of the four can be glazed to your script, tinted and polarised, for GH₵ 220 on top of the single vision price. It adds two days.
Everything else
The other two rooms
Glasses
Ten optical frames, cut in Accra, glazed to your prescription in five working days.
Sunglasses
Four sunglasses, all polarised, all made for the light we actually get here.
Cases and kits
The case, the cloth, and the three-frame bundle we put together with you.
The journal
Frames, lenses, and the odd strong opinion
What bio-acetate actually is, and why we pay more for it
It comes off a cotton plant rather than out of a barrel, it takes colour differently, and it costs us about a third more per sheet. Here is what that buys you.

Your frames are probably sitting too low
Nine out of ten people who walk into Osu are wearing a frame that has slipped a centimetre down the nose. It is a ten-minute fix and we do not charge for it.

Harmattan and your lenses: a short, unglamorous guide
Dry dust is the worst thing that happens to a coated lens all year. Do not use your shirt. We are serious about this.

Try them on before you decide
Nine shops across Ghana, an optometrist in every one, and no pressure to buy anything on the day.
