Sunglasses for Camp

Although we all need some sun exposure, we need to protect our bodies from too much of it, including our eyes. Most children rack up between 50 and 80% of their lifetime sun exposure by age 18. Optical Heights carries many great children’s sunglass styles (which can also be made in prescription). Be sure to visit us before camp starts.

Oliver Peoples

“In 1986, opticians Dennis and Larry Leight purchased an estate collection of vintage, American-made eyewear. The assortment included thousands of beautifully filigreed rimless and metal frames, including clip-on sun lenses, produced by iconic American companies. The frames were unworn, in mint condition, in their original packaging. Given their love for 1940s – 1960s eyewear, it was a goldmine for the Leight brothers, who envisioned designing an authentic collection of classic eyewear and creating a unique retail experience in their own gallery. They purchased the entire lot, which included a receipt signed with the name “Oliver Peoples,” who they reasoned was the original owner or distributor. When they decided to sell the estate collection later that same year in their first optical boutique on legendary Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, it only seemed fitting to use that name in his honor.” – oliverpeoples.com

Oliver Peoples eyewear has been seen on numerous celebrities, in many different colors and styles, and give a fashionable look with discreet branding.
