• Can you add a prescription to the sunglasses?

  1. Base Curve of 8 or Less: Sunglasses lenses must have a certain curvature dimension with a base curve of 8 or less in order to add a prescription lens. Sunglasses with larger curve sizes cannot be converted to prescription sunglasses.

  
  
  

  2. Standardized shapes and sizes.

  4. Removable Lenses: The original lenses need to be removed from the sunglasses and replaced with prescription lenses.

• How do I choose the best prescription sunglasses online?

  Start with fit: match the lens-bridge-temple size to a pair you own and keep the frame width close to your face width. Then pick lens options for your use—gray/brown for true color, polarization for glare, high-index for strong Rx, and AR on the back surface to cut bounce-back glare. Virtual try-on helps you dial in style and comfort.

• What's the difference between UV protection and polarized on RX sunglasses?

  They do different jobs. UV400 blocks 100% of UVA/UVB to protect your eyes; polarized filters reflect glare from roads and water. The best prescription sunglasses combine both.

• What lens options are available for sunglasses with a prescription?

  Common picks include polarized lenses (for glare), photochromic lenses (darken outdoors), solid or gradient tints, mirror finishes, and materials from impact-resistant polycarbonate to thinner high-index lenes. Availability varies by frame and region—the product page will show the exact menu that's compatible with your Rx and the frame shape.

• Are prescription sunglasses good for driving?

  Absolutely. Polarized prescription shades cut windshield and road glare so details stay crisp; gray or brown tints are driver favorites. Avoid wearing very dark lenses at night, and use yellow/amber only if you understand they change color perception.

• How do I enter my Rx and PD when buying prescription sunglasses online?

  Use the values from your eye doctor: SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD (if needed) and PD (pupillary distance). OD = right eye, OS = left. If PD isn't listed, follow the on-page guide or ask your doctor.
