Gone are the days where people wearing spectacles cannot wear sunglasses for a stylish look. In the previous decades, these people were gifted with clip-on sunglasses. These were additional fittings on their spectacles. Though they protect your eyes from the sun, they don’t give you an elegant chic look. With the advanced technology, designer sunglasses included prescription lenses to correct the eyesight problem apart from blocking the sun. In the current decade, these prescription sunglasses are available at affordable prices.
Most prescription eyepieces are designed just like ordinary sunglasses and a lot of the fashion and designer brand sunglasses of today can carry prescription lenses. A number of wraparound sunglasses, though, are not compatible with prescription lenses and their severely curved wraps sometimes cause vision distortion. Some of the brands that offer sunglasses that can carry prescription lenses include Bolle, Oakley, Live Eyewear, Izod and Panoptx.
Initially with prescription sunglasses, the shape of the lenses was very simple. But with latest technology, you can choose from innumerable number of frame types and lens shapes as these prescription lenses can be curved to any degree to fit the frame.
You can buy the prescription sunglasses at your favorite retail store or using online shopping facility. For this you need a valid prescription. If you are wearing contact lenses, you need to consult with an eye expert to get the prescription because the grades may vary.
When you shop online you have a number of options to choose the style of the frame and the color of the lens. To do this online you should have a basic knowledge about the style that suits you. You can go the manufacturer’s website for your prescription sunglass, order the frame and lens shape and color then fax your prescription to make them.
The prescription sunglasses are custom made and you must give some time for the manufacturer to complete your order. Prescription sunglasses are perfect for the smart and smartly dressed. The elegance and mystery afforded by sunglasses, coupled with the practicality of wearing prescription eyewear daily, makes for a true winning fashion combination.
