Benefits of wearing prescription sunglasses
If you require eyeglasses for vision correction, we highly recommend investing in a pair of prescription sunglasses. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Safety
Prescription sunglasses protect your eyes from high winds, dust, sand, and other airborne debris that can irritate your eyes and damage your cornea. They also reduce glare and enable you to see clearly when driving, riding a bike, or engaging in other outdoor activities that require clear vision.
UV protection
Exposure to UV light can lead to eye diseases such as cataracts, photokeratitis, macular degeneration, melanoma, and pterygium. Our prescription sunglasses offer superior protection from harmful UV radiation, reducing your risk of developing eye health and vision problems caused by UV exposure.

Improved dark adaptation
Sunglasses improve your vision by blocking UV rays and reducing glare throughout the day. High-quality polarized prescription sunglasses can also help reduce night vision loss.
Enhanced outdoor experiences
With clear vision comes greater confidence when engaging in outdoor activities like hiking or playing sports. Our prescription sunglasses provide a greater level of clarity than non-prescription options, so you can fully enjoy your outdoor adventures.
Sunglasses for your lifestyle
Different activities require different types of sunglasses to provide the best protection and visual clarity. Here are a few examples:
- When driving, it’s important to wear sunglasses that reduce glare and provide clear vision. Polarized sunglasses are ideal for reducing glare from the sun and other reflective surfaces on the road. Sunglasses with yellow or amber lenses can help improve contrast and depth perception, making it easier to see in low-light conditions.
- When fishing, it’s important to wear sunglasses that offer polarization to reduce glare off the water and increase visibility into the water. Sunglasses with brown or copper lenses can help enhance contrast and provide better visual clarity in bright conditions.
- When riding a bike, it’s important to wear sunglasses that provide protection from wind, dust, and debris. Wrap-around sunglasses with a snug fit can help keep your eyes safe and protected while riding. Sunglasses with polarized lenses can reduce glare from the road and improve visibility.
- When skiing or snowboarding, it’s important to wear sunglasses or goggles that offer full UV protection and reduce glare from the snow. Polarized sunglasses or goggles can help reduce glare and improve visibility, while lenses with a yellow or rose tint can enhance contrast and provide better visibility in low-light conditions.
