Prescription Sunglasses

No longer do prescription eye glass wearers need to worry on those sunny days when your regular lenses just don’t help. Or maybe you wear contacts and they are just bothering you too much to keep them in while you are at the beach enjoying the sun, sand and surf.

Now you can get prescription sunglasses in almost any style and for almost any prescription.

From Gucci to Prada, almost every fashion designer that has a line of regular prescription eyeglasses also has available fashionable sunglasses for the public.

Now you don’t need to worry about searching for those tacky clip-on shades for your sunglasses or dealing with contact lenses when they bother your eyes.

Prescription sunglasses have become readily available at your local optometrist’s office. Prescriptions range anywhere from basic to high prescriptions, bifocals and progressive lenses for the presbyoptic consumer.

There are even lines of children’s sunglasses for the kids in your life who wear prescription lenses.

The styles of prescription sunglasses available are pretty much the same as basic sunglasses. One exception is the wrap around glasses.

Prescription lenses that curve typically distort vision, but made brands now create wraparound style sunglasses that do accept prescription lenses. And lenses that hold a slightly curved wrap are available.

For people who don’t want to bother with prescription sunglasses, there are now lenses called photo chromatic lenses.

These are an amazing innovation, your regular lenses are coated with a material that darkens in the sunlight and return to normal when indoors.
