Murphys the Opticians

Jonathan was back to choose sunglasses and settled on ✌️

The compact P3 shape and translucent saddle brown acetate have a richness from the layered colour and depth of the handmade acetate.

We fitted personalised tinted sun lenses and a red mirror coating, chosen to enhance contrast while giving the lenses a warm copper-red flash outdoors that Jonathan was looking for.

Every sunglass lens can be tailored to the wearer, so the final tint is chosen around how each person wants their sunglasses to look and perform.

Enjoy the sunny southeast, and we're back open Monday 🕶

Wexford's looking gorgeous in this sun — your eyes deserve the same care.

Sunlight brings UV rays, and not all sunglasses actually block them. There are two types to know:

UVA rays are the sneaky ones — they pass straight through glass and cloud cover, quietly damaging your eyes year-round without you noticing.

UVB rays are sharper and more aggressive — largely blocked by glass, but still present outdoors, and the ones behind sunburn.

Good sunglasses filter both. Not just a tint — genuine UV protection built in.

When eyewear is part of your everyday, it's hard to choose one that suits every mood. A change in shape, colour or design can feel more suited depending on what's ahead.

Lorna chose two , each with its own personality. Created by French optician duo Anne and Valentin, each piece is designed to bring out the individuality of the wearer rather than follow trends.

If you've been thinking about a second pair, whether it's an everyday frame or prescription sunglasses, our second pair half-price lens offer is a great opportunity to build an eyewear wardrobe for your different days.

Eyewear has the ability to change far more than how you see. It can become the piece that brings your whole look together.

This piece from does exactly that. Its confident square silhouette and vibrant blue finish from the Dawn collection give it real presence, creating a frame that's expressive without feeling overstated.

Eyewear should be more than a visual enhancer. Derek's Theo has become part of his style, adding character long before anyone notices the prescription.
