What Are Prescription Sunglasses?
These sunglasses combine your prescription lenses with UV-blocking tinted lenses designed to provide clear vision outdoors without glare or distortion—a seamless visual experience unlike clip-ons or transitions.
Key Benefits of Prescription Sunglasses
-
UV Protection
Prescription sunglasses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection, shielding delicate eye structures like the cornea, lens, and retina from long-term damage, including cataracts and macular degeneration. -
Enhanced Comfort and Reduced Eye Strain
Tints reduce glare from sunlight, water, pavement, and reflective surfaces, preventing squinting and visual fatigue during outdoor activities. -
Better Visual Clarity Outdoors
Unlike wearing regular glasses under sunglasses, prescription sunglasses provide accurate, distortion-free vision suited to your prescription needs. -
Style Flexibility
Choose from over 950 designer, trendy, or budget-friendly frames that suit every taste, personality, and activity level. -
Customizable Lens Features
Add-ons like polarization, gradient tints, mirrored finishes, scratch resistance, and anti-reflective coatings improve functionality and durability.
When Should You Wear Prescription Sunglasses?
Prescription sunglasses are ideal for:
-
Driving and road safety
-
Beach trips and outdoor leisure
-
Sports and active lifestyles
-
Everyday sun exposure, especially for those sensitive to bright light
