Prescription Sunglasses benefits and why you’ll love them this Summer
Can you put prescription lenses in sunglasses?
Yes — and here’s why that helps you.
One fitted pair removes juggling plain glasses and clip-ons.
Most full-rim and semi-rim frames accept prescription lenses, so you’ll likely keep a favourite frame.
Super-curved wrap or rimless styles may need special blanks or won’t suit strong prescriptions; in that case you avoid distortion by choosing a different frame or a custom option.
You’ll get single-vision, bifocal or progressive lenses tailored to your needs.
The workflow is simple and quick: eye test, PD measurement, lens choice, then fitting.
Choose high-index if you want thinner, lighter lenses.
Are prescription sunglasses lenses worth it?
If you value convenience and reliable vision, they are worth it.
You avoid squinting, swapping pairs and risking UV exposure.
Drivers, outdoor workers and athletes recoup the cost fastest. Think of this as buying fewer interruptions in your day rather than just another pair of glasses.
Which prescription sunglasses are best for me? tint level?
Decide by main activity: daily outdoor wear — category 2–3; very bright light — category 3–4; driving — category 2–3.
For neutral colour pick grey; for contrast pick brown; for general comfort pick green.
Gradient tints are useful if you read while outdoors or drive frequently and need lower-field clarity.
Prescription sunglasses with uv protection
Pick lenses that block 100% UVA and UVB (UV400). Dark tint alone doesn’t guarantee protection.
Protecting your eyes now avoids long-term damage later.
Prescription sunglasses with transition lenses
Transition (photochromic) lenses work well if you move between indoors and outdoors a lot. They reduce the need to switch pairs.
Prescription sunglasses with gradient tint
Gradient tints are darker at the top and lighter below.
They block overhead sun while keeping near vision clear.
They’re practical for drivers and people who read outdoors.
Prescription sunglasses for Women
If style matters, pick frames that balance look and fit.
Lightweight materials prevent pressure points.
Gradient tints add flair while keeping the lower field clear for reading or dashboard checks.
These choices let you keep comfort without sacrificing appearance.
Prescription sunglasses for Men
If you want a reliable daily pair, focus on fit and function over labels.
Look for frames that keep lenses centered over your pupils.
Choose durable coatings and impact-resistant lenses if you’re active. Practical choices keep maintenance low and vision high.
Prescription sunglasses for driving
For safer driving use polarisation to reduce glare.
Grey and brown tints preserve colour recognition and contrast.
Avoid very dark lenses that reduce tunnel or dusk visibility.
If you want one pair for road and home, photochromic lenses are a good choice — the new lenses darken behind a windscreen.
Prescription sunglasses for running and cycling and other sports
For those of you that lead an active lifestyle, pick secure, light frames and impact-resistant lenses.
Wrap frames protect the sides but can distort if lenses aren’t cut for the curve; ask about custom curved lenses.
Polarised lenses reduce road glare, but they can affect bike-computer displays.
Choose based on the gear you use and test before committing.
FAQ
-
Replace the lenses in the frames you like. It’s usually cheaper than buying new frames.
-
Yes — dark tints are applied after the lenses are made.
Polarised lenses reduce glare as well.
You pick the darkness and hue.
Choose grey if you want true colour; brown for better contrast on dull days; green for balanced contrast and comfort.
Dark lenses cut glare and burnout; they won’t change your prescription but they will make long sunny days more pleasant.
-
A mirror coating bounces light away from the lens surface.
That means less glare, especially on bright beaches or reflective roads. It also gives a polished look if appearance matters.
Pair it with an inner anti-reflective coat to keep seeing clearly and reduce internal reflections.
