Longer days, warm weather and sunny skies — combine all three and you get the perfect conditions for some outdoor fun in mid-Missouri. But before you head out into the sunlight, make sure you’re ready with right accessories. This selection of sunglasses from local retailers is not only cute and trendy but provides much needed eye protection in the bright light of spring and summer. And for those of you who wear prescription glasses, there are still options. Several of our examples came from Andrew Stone Optometry, where the final price will depend on your prescription and lens needs, as well as any applicable insurance coverage.
