More Than Just a Pair of Sunglasses

Buying sunglasses should never be a guessing game. Our licensed opticians bring the same level of expertise and personal attention to every sunglass fitting as they do to prescription eyewear. They will assess your face shape, your lifestyle, and your vision needs before making a single recommendation.

From the perfect fit to the right lens tint for your favourite activities, we make sure every detail is considered before your sunglasses leave our studio. That is the Art Schmidt difference, and it is why Okanagan residents have been coming back since 1946.

Sun Eyewear Done Right

World Class Brands

From Prada to Maui Jim, our collection brings the world’s most respected sun eyewear brands to Vernon. Frames you will not find just anywhere in the BC Interior.

Prescription Sunglasses Available

Every frame in our collection can be fitted with your prescription, so you never have to choose between seeing clearly and looking your best in the sun.

Expert Lens Guidance

Polarized, photochromic, sport-specific. Our opticians will help you understand exactly what each lens option means for your daily life and recommend the right one for you.

Fitted for Your Face

Every pair is professionally adjusted to sit perfectly on your face. Because a sunglass that slips, pinches, or sits crooked is not doing its job.

UV Protection You Can Trust

Every pair we carry offers UV400 protection. Your eyes are as important as your skin when it comes to sun safety, and we take that seriously.

Built for the Okanagan

We live here too. Our collection is chosen with the Okanagan lifestyle in mind, from lake days and ski hills to long drives through wine country.
