Prescription Sunglasses

Protecting your eyes from the sun is important, but what are glasses wearers to do? That’s where prescription sunglasses can be incredibly useful. You have the benefit of being shaded from the sun, and enjoy 100% UV protection, all whilst giving you clear vision. Here at Feel Good Contacts, we want you to have the best of both worlds.

Order prescription sunglasses for clear vision and sun protection

Why do you need prescription sunglasses? Here are just some of the many benefits to owning a pair.

Protects your eyes from UV damage

One of the most important reasons to start wearing prescription sunglasses is to protect your eyes. Too much exposure to UV light over the time can damage your cornea, potentially leading to cataracts, eye cancer and even reduced vision.

Provides comfortable vision for those with light sensitivity

If your eyes are extra sensitive to light, then prescription sunglasses are the perfect option for you. To further reduce uncomfortable glare from the sun, you can opt for a model that has polarised lenses, which will provide more comfortable vision when outdoors.

Great for holidays

Tinted lenses with your prescription built in are excellent for sunny trips abroad or summer staycations. The convenience of having perfectly clear vision, all whilst knowing that your eyes are protected from the sun, cannot be overstated. Especially for those that are spending time on the beach or skiing, sun protection is vital in helping you to avoid snow blindness (sunburn of the cornea), a condition that occurs when exposed to UV light that has reflected off the surface of water or snow.

Multiple lens options

You don’t have to choose a full tint on your prescription sunglasses, why not choose photochromic lenses? Transitions and photochromic lenses allow the lenses of your glasses to remain clear when indoors and darken when outdoors. This gives glasses wearers the flexibility of seeing clearly and comfortably, no matter where they are and what the lighting conditions are.

Your choice of lens colours

You can customise your prescription sunglasses with your choice of lens colour to create the perfect pair. From classic green to a more adventurous purple, there are many colours to choose from. Grey is possibly the most versatile lens colour, as it complements the widest variety of frame colours and is suitable for most of the outdoor activities. All the full tint colour options provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

If you’re not sure which lens colour to choose, don’t hesitate to get in contact with us. We’ll be happy to recommend a lens colour to suit your frame choice and lifestyle.
