Prescription Sunglasses and Their Benefits
Prescription sunglasses offer many benefits, some of which are listed below:
- Enhanced Vision. Prescription sunglasses provide the vision correction you need while giving the other functional and fashion benefits of sunglasses.
- UV Protection. The sun’s ultraviolet rays strain and can permanently damage your eyes, even causing macular degeneration. Also, UV rays can penetrate clouds, so it might still be useful to wear sunglasses even on cloudy days.
- Polarization. Polarized sunglasses reduce glare and enhance clarity if you spend time on or near water, snow, or other reflective surfaces.
- Fashion Frames. Prescription frames come in various styles and are made by many designers, so you can help define your preferred look with your frames.
- Contact Skip Days. People who wear contact lenses sometimes want to skip wearing their contacts for a day. Owning a pair of prescription sunglasses makes it easy to take a contact break by wearing your prescription sunglasses when spending most of the day outdoors.
- Materials. Certain sports or jobs require shatter-resistant lenses to maximize your eye protection. These are available in different styles as well.
- Tinting. Lighter tints, such as amber, provide more contrast than darker lenses. The lighter tints are helpful for those who wear sunglasses when playing sports with rapid ball movements, like baseball and softball.
An Eye Exam
Before getting prescription sunglasses, you need to get a prescription so that you get the right kind of eyeglasses. Thankfully, an optometrist on our optometry team can provide an eye exam to both help you get glasses and help detect any undetected eye health problems
