Prescription Sunglasses

Protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays is more important than ever. So why not have the same prescription lenses in your eyeglasses in a great pair of prescription sunglasses from GlassesPeople.com?

What are prescription sunglasses?

Prescription sunglasses are sunglasses that not only protect your eyes against glare but also correct your vision at the same time. They are made according to your prescription and hence will correct your vision perfectly.

What benefits do I get by wearing prescription sunglasses?

The most important benefit that prescription sunglasses offer is that they correct your vision and protect your eyes at the same time. They may look like regular sunglasses but they are designed to correct your vision. You can wear them in the same way that you wear regular sunglasses but with the additional benefit of correcting your vision.

Can I wear prescription sunglasses all the time?

Once you get used to wearing your prescription sunglasses, there is no reason why you cannot wear them all the time. As long as you feel comfortable wearing them, you can wear them for as long as you need to wear them.

Does it take time to get used to prescription sunglasses?

Initially, you will have to wait for a short time to get used to your prescription sunglasses. Normally, you will become used to them within two to three days but for some people, it can take as long as two weeks. If you are switching from bifocals or if it is the first time that you are wearing goggles with a prescription then it will take longer to get used to them.

What should I look for when choosing prescription sunglasses?

There are several things to look for in your prescription sunglasses. They include frames that should be strong and durable. The lenses should be light and durable. You can also go with full-frame sunglasses to get more protection. The hinges should also be strong and durable and you can choose between barrel hinges, interlocking hinges, and spring hinges.

Why Wear Prescription Sunglasses?

There are many good reasons to buy prescription sunglasses. For example, if you are driving down the road, then without these eyewear items, you would have to squint to see clearly when the sun shines directly into your eyes. There is no sense in risking your life. At such times, you need prescription goggles which are a convenient and worthwhile option. These goggles will not only correct your vision but also, they will protect your eyes against the sun and sand as well as water. Read on if you want to know exactly why you should invest in Rx goggles.

Prescription sunglasses offer protection against the sun, sand, and water

Prescription sunglasses offer excellent protection against the sun, sand, and water.  If you are out on the beach, then you know that it is not a good idea to wear contact lenses as they can cause itchy eyes as you fight the effects of the sand, sun, and water. With prescription goggles, you have the option of wearing them anywhere and anytime outdoors. Also, if your eyesight is weak, then you will require corrective vision eyewear. The good news is that you have many options available when you choose to go with prescription goggles. They are available in practically all the different lens prescriptions including bifocals and progressives. You can also choose single-vision prescription goggles to help you with reading.

What options do I have when opting for prescription sunglasses?

The good news is that you have many options available to you when choosing prescription sunglasses. They are available in many frame styles and in fact, you have the same number of options available in frames as you have when choosing regular sunglasses. All the same fashions and designs that are available for regular sunglasses are also available for prescription goggles. The only time when your options are limited is when you go for wraparound prescription goggles. Since these sunglasses have extreme curves, there are fewer options available to you. Even so, modern wraparound sunglasses are being made with less extreme curves and so, are readily available. Before you choose this type, be sure to speak with your optician about what to choose.

Prescription sunglasses are also available with many lens options. You can choose between high-index lenses, polycarbonate lenses, and regular plastic lenses. You can also opt for glass lenses though these are more prone to break. They do however offer the best visual acuity and are available upon request. It pays to choose lenses with photochromic tints as then the lenses will automatically darken in bright conditions and become clear in dull and dark conditions. When choosing prescription goggles, make sure that you choose a pair that offers the right type of UV Protection and glare protection. UV protection does not depend on the density of the lens tint which means that you can easily choose any lens color and darkness. Just make sure that you buy lenses that are certified by your optician for total UV protection.

Best Prescription sunglasses Online

Having the prescription built into the lenses is the only major difference between prescription sunglasses and ordinary sunglasses. People who suffer from refractive errors will do well to wear prescription sunglasses. These items of eyewear will protect the wearer's eyes from the harshness of bright sunlight and they also help in cutting out the glare from the sun. The best part is that they help you see more clearly.

No matter what kind of prescription you have, you can always find a suitable pair of prescription sunglasses. You can also choose between bifocals and progressive lenses. The nice thing about these items of eyewear is that help you see clearly and at the same time, you can also shield your eyes from the sun. If you are a person that has to spend a lot of time outdoors then you will do well to choose sunglasses that protect your eyes and which also help to improve your vision.

Before buying your sunglasses you will do well to ask an optician to check your eyes. The nice thing is that almost every different kind of prescription lens can be fitted into designer frames. That being said, one must keep in mind the fact that the more affordable sunglasses that are available on the market today are not designed for all kinds of prescription lenses. A good optician can provide you with bifocal sunglasses. With these goggles, you can rest assured that when spending time at the beach you can read without having to change your glasses.

Goggles with photochromic lenses are another good option. These goggles are perfect because they will darken when exposed to bright lights and will lighten up when worn in poor lighting conditions. You can rest assured that with these glasses you will not have to worry about hurting your eyes because of exposure to dangerous UV rays. If your budget does not allow you to buy prescription sunglasses then you can easily choose a more affordable option. Clip-on is a cheaper alternative. They can easily be attached to your goggles and they can also be bought along with your frames. In this way, you can ensure that you get a proper fit.

Prescription sunglasses are becoming very popular these days. A greater number of people are coming to realize that such goggles offer several very useful benefits. They protect the eyes while at the same time giving you a chance to make a style statement. The best part is of course that they help you see more clearly.

If you are still wondering whether prescription sunglasses are a good idea then the following will help you understand the good and bad points. If you are a person that drives a lot then you will have realized that there is nothing as bothersome as having to shield your eyes from the harsh glare of the sun. If this bothers you then you can overcome this problem by purchasing prescription goggles. They are a better option than clip-on and magnetically attached sun lenses. Even those who wear contact lenses will find that these goggles will prove to be a very practical solution. If you do not want to wear contacts at the beach then you need to think about wearing goggles that have the right prescription.

These goggles will help you spend quality time outdoors. People with vision problems will find the corrective prescription goggles to be an invaluable accessory and aid. There are many choices available which means that there is a good chance that you can find a pair that suits your budget and needs. There are also as many frame styles available for the prescription variety as there are for ordinary goggles. The frames are designed by well-known designers and so there are many exciting options available. The wraparound variety is very popular but they are not available for every different kind of prescription. If you are not sure about what to buy, then be sure to consult an optician.

The nice thing about powered goggles is that they are available in many different lens materials. High index and polycarbonate as well as standard plastic as well as lightweight materials that are just like polycarbonate are some of the materials that you can choose from for your lenses. Glass lenses offer maximum clarity but they are not the most popular option because they are heavy and can break very easily. Photochromic lenses are a better option. These lenses are also known as transitions and they offer twin benefits: they darken under bright lights and lighten up under poor lighting conditions.

Photochromic lenses are perhaps the most convenient option but their tints are only activated in the presence of UV Rays. Since most windscreens on your automobile automatically block out sunlight, photochromic lenses are not the best option when driving because they will not darken properly inside the vehicle.

WHAT OUR CLIENT’S SAY

What Clients Say

After spending almost a crazy amount on glasses from my doctor, I despised them. Out of desperation I came here and started printing out different frames. I have a small face and had a difficult time finding frames that weren't too wide. I wish they gave more information on how to understand the measurement between the lenses. I picked the Trento because of the overall width and the smaller nose piece measurement. They are perfect! They fit so comfortably and for some reason, my vision while on my tablet or computer is so much better than with my expensive glasses. The only upgrade I got was the non-reflective coating. I'm never buying glasses from my doc again!

I received my package in a timely fashion and my prescription glasses were too cute. Love them! Will be telling others and ordering again.

I've ordered these glasses twice and love them. You just can't get any better quality for the price. These glasses easily hold up against any glasses I've bought from my eye doctor, which run upwards of $200 because I have a high prescription. I will continue to use this website-the quality and service is unmatched.

Service was excellent and my response to my questions was timely. I have recommended this website to several people and I know at least one of them ordered and is happy with their purchase as well. I only did a single vision to see what I thought of the product. I will order my bifocals soon, since the product is all I hoped it would be.

Your "try me" function works great. As soon as my eye center is back to work I will be ordering sports sunglasses with my new prescription. Perfect for my motorcycle riding.

Beautiful very affordable frames and lenses. The delivery was a bit long but still timely. The whole frame plus progressive lenses was $128.39. When it arrived it looked exactly as it did on the website, it feels great and the prescription lenses are perfect.

I've bought from GlassesPeople.com a few times throughout the past five years and I've never been disappointed. They always make sure you have proper eyeglass aftercare tips and there are a lot of glasses to choose from, so there's a style and shape for everyone. If there's anything they can't do, they let you know immediately and work with you. I'm sure I'll be back!

Ever since finding https://www.glassespeople.com, I always purchase my eyeglasses and sunglasses through this website. We live in a rural area, without a lot of options for optical needs. GlassesPeople makes it very easy to submit my specifications, select the eyewear/sunglasses that work best for me, and do so in a fast efficient manner.

I'm pleased with the fit and function of the glasses. So far the results are very positive and my eyes are staying clear and sharp. My old glasses didn't cut it on my motorcycle and caused dry eyes and blurred vision. No problem now. Very happy with my new glasses!
