Prescription sunglasses can protect your eyes while allowing you to see comfortably when you are outdoors. It is important to choose the best type of sunglasses to suit your prescription. Here are some tips to help you select prescription sunglasses. Your frames: In general, any frame can be converted into prescription sunglasses. Preferably avoid getting cheap or “non rx-able” frames and the extreme wrap around type since these can affect the visibility at the corner of the lenses. These are suitable only up to a specific power. Sunglasses with a shield design are also not recommended for prescription sunglasses. Your lenses: If you have vision problems that require wearing bifocal lenses or progressive lenses, it is possible to find prescription sunglasses for you. You can choose from a variety of high quality lenses such as polycarbonate, plastic, Trivex and glass. Trivex is considered the best for its durability. Polycarbonate is not a good choice if you plan to go for tinted lenses. The tint: Prescription sunglasses can be tinted or plain. Although blue and yellow are considered trendy the recommended shade is brown as it is the best option for protecting your eyes from the sun. If you are an athlete or play tennis, golf or other outdoor sports, you will need accurate visual perception and the ability to differentiate contrast. Grey is also a good option for its ability to keep out the light. Blue is not a good choice as it can cause a glare. You can have a variety of specialty tints to go with your prescription sunglasses such as the following: •Gradient tints which is deepest at the top half of the glasses and fades towards the bottom •A mirror coating to reflect the glare in bright light •Photochromic or transitions that cause the lenses to darken when exposed to sunlight and fade when away from it. •Polarized lenses to keep off glare by limiting vertical light, reducing strain to the eyes. This tends to take time to darken especially in cloudy weather or in the shade and longer to return to clear lenses. They also tend to develop a light tint. •Anti-reflective lenses which are coated on the inside of the Calgary prescription sunglasses, keeping off the glare and light. Finally, clip on prescription sunglasses are an option for those on a budget, besides giving you the convenience of carrying them around with you and wearing them on the go. You can simply clip them on to your regular prescription glasses. They are, however, not as effective as a proper pair of sunglasses as they do not do a good job of guarding your eyes from the sun. There is also the option of “fit-over” frames that go over your regular glasses, without the need to take them off. They also avoid the side glare caused by clip-ons. Remember to choose good quality frames for your prescription glasses in which prescription lens are acceptable to keep your eyes are safe, while enjoying good vision.
