DALLAS—A&A Optical has debuted two new prescription ready sunglasses collections from global surfing brands, Quiksilver and Roxy.

“The development of Quiksilver and Roxy RX Sun is in response to customer demand and A&A’s strategy to diversify the product selection for both popular brands,” said Robert Liener, president and CEO of A&A.

For Quiksilver fans, the QS Sun 07 is a sporty frame with retro beginnings highlighted by rubber tipped angled temples. The QS Sun 08 is a sleek metal style with slender acetate temples and a deep rectangle shape; while the QS Sun 09 is a modern, smooth-edged version of a wayfarer.

For Roxy girls, the RS Sun 07 features a modified round, cat-like eye shape and dipped temple tips. The vintage styling of the RS Sun 08 has a deep, round shape in color dipped acetate. Lastly, the semi-translucent RS Sun 09 has thick, angle-cut temples and an elongated oval eye shape.

The six new styles all feature Carl Zeiss lenses, stylish tints and a scratch resistant coating and are shipped with a case and lens cleaner. Quiksilver and Roxy merchandising materials include logo plaques, counter cards, a 6-piece display and brand posters.
