The perfect pair of sunglasses is hard to find \u2014 so once you do, you\u2019ll probably want to wear them every chance you get. And who wouldn\u2019t? Not only are sunglasses the cherry on top of any outfit, but they\u2019re also key to keeping your eyes safe and healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, having an eyewear prescription and finding the perfect pair of sunglasses can be extra challenging. Picking up any pair of shades whenever, wherever doesn\u2019t really cut it. They may look great, but the darkened lenses and lack of prescription make it nearly impossible to see, which totally defeats the purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Eyebuydirect, putting prescription lenses in sunglasses is simple \u2014 so not only will you be looking great and protecting your eyes from the sun, but you\u2019ll also be seeing clearly, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

But where to start?<\/span><\/p>\n

Can any sunglasses be made prescription?<\/b><\/h2>\n

First things first, find your favorite frames \u2014 we have <\/span>thousands of styles<\/span><\/a> to choose from, and most sunglasses can be made into prescription sunglasses, so you can pick something that suits your personal style <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> your vision needs!<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve selected your frames, it\u2019s time to select lenses. Here\u2019s where you get to customize your shades with <\/span>special tints and coatings<\/span><\/a> to complement your lifestyle. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, polarized lenses might be for you. If you\u2019re primarily wearing your sunnies as a fashion accessory, a colored tint is a fun and playful option.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What about light-adjusting lenses?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Both Transitions\u00ae lenses and prescription lenses have their own benefits, and the decision is totally up to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

While prescription sunglasses don\u2019t offer the convenience of automatically adjusting to sunlight, you can confidently know that the level of UV protection will always be effective and consistent. A separate pair of sunglasses also allows you to change up your look and have fun with different styles.<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, consult with your eye doctor if you need help determining the best option for your vision and lifestyle. The ophthalmologist can also give you your most up-to-date prescription to make sure your vision is as sharp as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Completing your look\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Never again will you be squinting through a pair of prescriptionless shades! Seeing clearly and protecting your sight is key to optimal eye health. So why not look great while you\u2019re doing it? See our <\/span>prescription sunglasses<\/span><\/a> to find your perfect pair today!<\/span><\/p>\n
