There are a number of eye conditions that can lead to light sensitivity, or photo-phobia, issues - these include glaucoma, and the effects of cataract or other post laser eye surgery (including lasic). Rapid Eye wear's 'Nimbus Dark' category 4 sunglasses are ideal for relieving the symptoms of all these conditions.

We cannot be responsible for any injury or loss resulting from the incorrect use of our eye wear for the relief of a medical condition. Please also read the additional notes below regarding driving.
The Frames
Made from a robust yet lightweight TR90 composite, the frame is finished in an attractive mat black color. It features sprung side arms and rubber side arm extensions for an ultra comfortable fit. The Nimbus frame is designed to fit most adults; a slight built-in flex means the frame will 'mould' itself to your head comfortably. The wrap-around sports shape prevents light intrusion from the sides of your vision.
The Lenses
Nimbus lenses are cut from an impact-resistant poly-carbonate material. Each lens is de-centred, to calibrate the field of view such that the slight curvature does not distort your vision.

A microfibre pouch is supplied, that doubles as a cleaning cloth. if you would like a retainer strap, please select this option from the menu at the top of this page before completing your purchase.
