Prescription sunglasses are eyeglasses with lenses that have been customized to meet a specific prescription for vision correction, but also have tinted lenses to provide protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. They are essentially a combination of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses.
 
The lenses of prescription sunglasses are available in a wide range of tints and colors, including gray, brown, green, and more. These tints can help reduce glare, improve contrast, and enhance color perception in bright sunlight. Additionally, prescription sunglasses can be polarized, which means that they have a special filter that blocks out horizontal light waves, reducing glare and providing clearer vision.
 
Prescription sunglasses are available in various styles, including aviators, wayfarers, and sports sunglasses. They are also available in different materials, such as plastic, metal, and titanium.
 
To purchase prescription sunglasses, you will need a prescription from an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Then choose sunglasses from our catalog and select your desired lenses and tint options.
 
Overall, prescription sunglasses are a great option for people who need vision correction and want to protect their eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays. They are available in a wide range of styles, colors, and materials, making it easy to find a pair that meets your needs and personal preferences.

 
Prescription Sunglasses with Polarized Lenses

Prescription sunglasses with polarized lenses are very popular with outdoor enthusiasts who need to protect their eyes from harmful rays and reduce reflected glare surrounding them. Sunglasses and prescription sunglasses with polarized lenses are also recommended for light sensitive people to wear indoors or after any kind of eye surgery because of the superior light filtering found in polarized technology.

Polarized lenses have UVA and UVB protection and usually come with about a standard 80% grey tint (visual appearance is light black). They are highly recommended versus simple tint for people planning on being outdoors for the better part of a sunny day. Polarized prescription sunglasses are also sometimes referred to as High Definition sunglasses because of the way they filter light and give off a clearer and more crisp image.

For a prescription sunglasses buyer who wants to protect their eyes in the sun, our opticians almost always recommend the polarized option to be added to your prescription sunglasses purchase, available in the EXTRAS section when you customize your lenses in the checkout.

Prescription Sunglasses with Tinted Lenses

The latest and hottest craze has been different color tinted prescription sunglasses. They have become so wildly popular that the cost for creating them has been driven down to laughable prices. For less than $10 you can add any color tint to any lens even non-prescription to create your own style sunglasses or custom prescription sunglasses. For more instructions a tint option will be provided to you when you checkout in the EXTRAS section.

WARNING: Tinting reading glasses is not advisable. Tinting high prescriptions are also not advisable. Normally you can ask for a 20% tint for a cosmetic feel, but please understand the 80% gray tint is very dark and can hurt your prescription strength quality. Polarized lenses are not suggested for viewing LCD displays (computers, gps, etc).
