Fashion may be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of sunglasses. You understand that they serve a purpose, but the significance of having and wearing sunglasses every time you go outside may be lost on you. There are several important reasons you should always wear sunglasses, and we'll explain why prescription sunglasses are the best way to maintain eye health.

 


Choosing the Best Prescription Sunglasses: Sun Protection for Your Eyes

UV light can harm your eyes and impair your vision. Sunglasses can protect your eyes by blocking some of the sun's rays. Prescription sunglasses are a convenient way to correct your vision and protect your eyes while participating in summer activities if you wear prescription eyeglasses. Heavyglare can assist you in selecting the appropriate prescription sunglasses.

 

Prescription Sunglasses: General Information

Prescription sunglasses are designed with your specific corrective prescription in mind. They are available for nearly all types of corrective prescriptions. They can help you make a fashion statement in addition to improving your vision and protecting your eyes; they are available in a variety of colours, wraparound styles, and mirrored colours.

 

The Advantages of Wearing UV Sunglasses

The primary advantage of prescription sunglasses is that they protect the eyes from UV and blue light, both of which can cause damage. UV light worsens conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts. It can also cause pterygium, pink growth on the white of your eye, and photokeratitis, also known as corneal sunburn.

 

Another advantage is that you get vision correction and UV protection in one package, rather than having to search for the right clip-on for prescription glasses.

 

Prescription sunglasses are also useful for contact lens wearers who swim. Swimming while wearing contact lenses increases your chances of getting an infection. Swimming without contact lenses and with prescription sunglasses poolside eliminates the inconvenience of having to pop contacts in and out, as well as the need to bring a pair of non-prescription sunglasses.


 

What to Look for When Purchasing Prescription Sunglasses?

Prescription sunglasses, like regular glasses, come in a variety of styles. Each feature must be considered because it can increase the cost of your sunglasses. Importantly, you can browse through the collection of prescription sunglasses online as well. It is very comforting and safe considering the present pandemic condition.

 

Sunglass frames are made of metal or plastic, just like regular glasses. Metal frames, made of nickel, stainless steel, or titanium, are stronger than plastic frames, but they can be difficult to wear if you leave them in the car on a hot day and need to put them on to drive. They are also more expensive than plastic frames. While less expensive than metal frames, plastic frames are more prone to bending and breaking. They are made of zylonite or polycarbonate.

Styles: Full-frame glasses provide the most security. Half-frame glasses typically have a frame only at the top of the lenses. Frameless glasses are typically lighter.
