Performance and Protective Eyewear in Fort Lauderdale
Police officers, athletes, and anyone who spends time at the range or on the water need eyewear that does more than look good. At Fort Lauderdale Eye Care and Eyewear, we specialize in Wiley X and Oakley for duty, training, and sports, and we also carry Costa and Maui Jim for polarized sunwear in South Florida.
Whether you need a secure pair for work, a prescription that works at the range, or polarized lenses for glare on the water, our optical team can help you choose frames and lenses that fit how you actually use them.
Wiley X for duty and demanding work
Wiley X is a brand we specialize in for people who need more protection than everyday glasses or fashion sunglasses can offer. These frames are designed for demanding environments, including law enforcement, shooting sports, and other work where your eyes need a secure, durable pair.
Many Wiley X styles can be made with your prescription, so you don't have to choose between clear vision and a protective frame. When you come in, we'll help you try on styles and talk through how you'll use them — on duty, at the range, or both.
Oakley for sport and performance
Oakley is the other brand we specialize in for this kind of work and play. Oakley is widely known for sport and performance eyewear: a secure fit, lenses meant for outdoor light, and styles that hold up in training, on the field, and in the sun.
We can make many Oakley frames with your prescription. If you already wear Oakley or have a style in mind, bring it in and we'll help you find the right fit and lens.
Costa and Maui Jim for glare, water, and Florida sun
Specialty eyewear isn't only for duty and sports. If you boat, fish, or spend long days in the Fort Lauderdale sun, polarized lenses make a real difference on the water, on the Intracoastal, and on the road.
Costa (Costa Del Mar) and Maui Jim are two polarized brands we recommend for that kind of use. Costa is a Florida brand many anglers and boaters already know. Maui Jim is known for polarized lenses that cut glare and keep colors clear. Both can often be made as prescription sunglasses.

What to expect when you visit
Come in for an eye exam, or bring a current prescription. We'll help you try on Wiley X, Oakley, Costa, and Maui Jim, talk about whether you need a more durable lens, polarization, or a wraparound fit, and order a pair that matches your prescription and how you use your eyes. You can also browse our sunglasses and eyeglasses collections.
This is not a substitute for safety equipment your department or range may require. We'll help you choose eyewear that fits your needs and your prescription; your agency's own standards still apply for duty use.
