What's not to like about a good pair of sunglasses? They're a global icon of summer, and their ability to block out the sun can be just as critical as the style they bring to our lives. They're even more valuable when you personalise them with your own vision prescription sunglasses. There are many reasons why you would want to add a new pair of prescription sunglasses to your collection, ranging from UV safety to convenience:





The following are the top 7 reasons to purchase prescription sunglasses.

1.        1. You want to keep your eyes secure.

UV rays, a dangerous source of radiation released by the sun, are blocked by sunglasses. To get the most cover, make sure you get 100% UV-blocking sunglasses, also known as UV 400 sunglasses.

Sunglasses can protect your eyes from debris such as sand, dust, and other irritating particles in addition to UV rays. Sunglasses won't shield the eyes from any of these particles, but they will protect them from a lot of them.

       2. The sun is either shining — or it isn't.

When the sun is shining, it's especially important to protect your eyes, but even if the sky is overcast, UV rays will still harm your eyes. Clouds can let up to 90% of the sun's UV rays through, particularly when cloud cover is thin or patchy.

3.        3. You've had enough of wearing shades on top of your glasses.

When you don't have prescription sunglasses online, it's easy to reach for a pair of plastic sunglasses from the junk drawer and wrestle them over your glasses. Prescription sunglasses allow you to abandon this temporary fix and return to wearing just one pair of glasses at a time: eyeglasses at home and at work, and sunglasses outside.

4.        4. You've had your old shoes for ten years (or two)

Style trends come and go, and if keeping up with the new fad isn't one of your top priorities, you're probably unconcerned. Your evolving vision is something that becomes more difficult to overlook over time.

If you've noticed any changes in your vision, such as blurriness or strain, it's possible that you have an expired prescription. If you're over 40, it's particularly crucial to keep your glasses prescription up to date — even if you don't get new frames to go with your new lenses — and to get an annual eye exam.

5.        5. You're looking for a more active choice.

Sure, those metal aviators are appropriate for business casual, but they may not be ideal for a morning jog around the block. Upgrading to a pair of impact-resistant performance sports sunglasses will make exercise or physical activity more comfortable and healthy.

6.        6. You're about to cause a stir.

Polarized lenses, which reduce glare and improve visual visibility, are available in many prescription sunglasses. They go well with daytime driving and outdoor activities such as fishing and kayaking.

7.        7. You're nearsighted and just wear glasses on occasion.

If you have trouble seeing things in the distance, prescription sunglasses will help. If you're nearsighted (also known as myopia) and don't wear glasses when reading, working, or doing household chores, prescription sunglasses will help fill the void once you're outside on a sunny day.
