If you wear glasses, you probably already know what a hassle it can be when you wear them in the sun. It’s difficult to see in the bright light, and you find yourself squinting against the blinding glare. Maybe you think you have no choice since you wear prescription eyeglasses, but you do.
Prescription sunglasses eliminate these annoyances. They’re like having two pairs of glasses in one! Not only do you get the corrected vision you need, but you also get the tinted lenses that protect your eyes from sunlight. They’re perfect for driving, since they’re polarized to reduce glare: from the sun, from snow and from the roadway. If you enjoy outdoor sports, they’re great because they provide crisp vision while protecting your eyes from debris, dust and water, as well as injury.
Before prescription sunglasses, if people didn’t suffer in silence, they wore old-fashioned clip-on shades or oversized wraparound glasses that covered their prescription glasses. Neither solution was convenient, stylish or effective. Both added an unnecessary layer through which it’s sometimes difficult to see. They could also be cumbersome and heavy on the face.
By infusing prescription lenses with protective tint, you don’t have to carry around another pair of sunglasses. These shades have come a long way. Now you can find styles and colors that rival the coolest regular sunglasses. Many times, you won’t be able to tell the difference between prescription sunglasses and those without corrective lenses.
For driving you can’t beat the convenience of these lenses. Your peripheral vision is clear and free from obstructions, glare is reduced and you won’t have to squint to see the road ahead. For sports, you won’t have to worry about heavy shades slipping down your nose, or being blinded by sunlight. You can’t be without them if you have to keep your eye on the ball, see hazards on the slopes, or otherwise be at the top of your game. If you wear them outside for casual use, like reading or window shopping, the clarity and crispness they provide beats the alternative.
One more benefit to these lenses is that people never have to know you wear eyeglasses if you don’t want them to. They’ll see your sleek, streamlined look and won’t suspect that you’re wearing corrective lenses. However, they will suspect that you have loads of style.
