With the arrival of summer, it's the perfect time to consider prescription sunglasses. While some customers see them as a luxury, they're actually a must-have for those who wear glasses full-time. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, prescription sunglasses are not just a convenience—they're an essential investment. They offer both protection and style, giving you more freedom in your daily life. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about prescription sunglasses.

**Q: What are the advantages of prescription sunglasses?**
Prescription sunglasses combine clear vision with eye protection, making them ideal for sunny days. They block harmful UV and UVA rays, which can damage your eyes over time. Most sunglasses come with tinted lenses that provide basic UV protection, but if you’re sensitive to glare, polarized lenses are a great option. These add an extra layer of protection by reducing reflected light from surfaces like water or roads. Whether you're working outside, driving, or relaxing at the beach, prescription sunglasses give you the flexibility to enjoy the sun safely.

**Q: What is the difference between prescription sunglasses and transition lenses?**
Transition lenses, also known as photochromic lenses, automatically darken when exposed to sunlight and return to clear indoors. This makes them convenient for people who want one pair of glasses that adapts to different lighting conditions. However, unlike traditional prescription sunglasses, transition lenses don’t always darken fully behind car windshields or in certain temperatures. They also don’t block all types of glare as effectively. So, while they’re great for everyday use, prescription sunglasses still offer more consistent and complete protection.

**Q: What frames are a good fit for prescription sunglasses?**
One of the biggest benefits of prescription sunglasses is the wide range of frame options available. Unlike regular prescription glasses, the tinted lenses reduce the "coke bottle" effect that can occur with higher prescriptions. This means you can choose from a variety of styles without worrying about the appearance of your lenses. You can even use a frame you already own by replacing the lenses with tinted or polarized ones. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with our opticians to ensure your chosen frame is suitable for your prescription.
