Why choose prescription sunglasses?

Medically reviewed by Khuram Sarwar, Dispensing Optician at Feel Good Contacts.

Imagine sitting on a park bench and taking in the sun’s fresh rays. Wearing glasses can hinder this experience, resulting in discomfort and squinting.

Fortunately, you can easily upgrade your glasses into prescription sunglasses by adding a sun tint or Transitions to them, allowing you to enjoy the sun with clarity.

Here are some reasons to buy prescription sunglasses:

Avoid constantly switching between glasses and sunglasses

Glasses off, sunglasses on, sunglasses off, glasses on, if this sounds like you in summer, we know the struggle is real. Wearing your sunglasses over your eyeglasses isn’t a comfortable solution either.

Prescription sunglasses make this easy for you. Choose full tint (tinted glasses) or transition lenses (darkens when exposed to sunlight). One pair works as both glasses and sunglasses, so you don’t have to juggle between two pairs all the time.

Reduces eye strain and makes driving easy

Remember those bright sunny days when you have to face the sun while driving? Without prescription sunglasses, wearing regular glasses can be a hassle with the sun shining in your eyes. Prescription sunglasses allow you to see clearly while protecting against the sun’s brightness making your drive smooth and comfortable.

Provides 100% UV protection

Harmful UV rays from the sun can damage your eyes, causing conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration, which might result in blurred or reduced vision.

Prescription sunglasses protect your eyes from the damaging effects of the sun by blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Offers crystal clear vision

You can also enjoy clear vision by adding your prescription to the lenses and turning your glasses into sunglasses. This is great if you love to soak in the sun but find yourself squinting at a book or at the scenery when outdoors.

Offers style and statement

Prescription sunglasses are more than just a necessity. They have become a fashion statement that adds a touch of style to your everyday look. From classic aviators to oversized frames, you can choose from a variety of styles at Feel Good Contacts for less.

Is there an adjustment period for prescription sunglasses?

There's no set adjustment period for adapting to prescription sunglasses and it differs from person to person. Initially, it might take some time for your eyes to get used to them. During this time, you may experience headaches or dizziness, but this should only last a couple of days.

If you have symptoms for a week or more, you should visit your optician to ensure you have the correct prescription.

Please note that wearing your prescription sunglasses for extended periods will speed up the adjustment process.

Is it worth buying prescription sunglasses?

Yes, prescription sunglasses are quite handy for everyday use. Along with offering a smooth transition and protecting your eyes from the harmful sun rays, they also offer vision correction.

However, if you're looking for a darker tint option, you might want to consider a full tint that offers 85% light absorption. Also, keep in mind that none of the tints are suitable for nighttime driving to ensure safety on the road.
