Some people approach the optician and ask if they can convert their plain sunglasses into prescription. Turning plain sunglasses into prescription sunglasses Often the ability to convert depends on the frame. If the prescription lenses can fit into the plain sunglasses' frame, it can be turned into prescription sunglasses. However, it is not always possible to do this since some frames cannot have the lens replaced. There are frames that can have the lens replaced, but may not be suitable for prescription sunglasses. The optician is the best person to decide. How are the frames constructed? The question usually arises when people see a pair of frames they particularly like or when there is a sale of branded frames which might otherwise be outside their budget. Some sunglasses' frames have a minute wire at the bottom of the lens, making it difficult to fit lenses in them. If you find a pair of plain sunglasses frame you really like, chances are your optician can help you with the appropriate prescription lenses for the frame. Another option is to find clip on's that can be fitted to your sunglasses but this is not the ideal way to turn your plain sunglasses into prescription. Reputable opticians offer an extensive variety of genuine branded sunglasses frames which you can choose to use as plain or prescription sunglasses. This has the benefit of protecting the eyes from UV radiation, thereby preventing vision issues such as cataracts. Here are some tips to bear in mind while choosing your frames: • The frame you choose must be suitable for prescription sunglasses • Avoid selecting the cheapest frames as low quality or non RX-able frames are unsuitable for prescription lenses. • Opt for RX-able frames for prescription sunglasses • Remember that wraparound frames are limited in terms of what power is acceptable. • Frames with a shield design cannot take prescription lenses. The optician will offer the option of buying your frames with plain lenses or having them glazed with prescription lenses depending on the type of vision correction you need. This includes single vision lenses, bifocals or varifocal or progressive lenses. Ideally, as the optician will advise you, the best way to get it is by choosing the frame first and then selecting the right type of lenses for your prescription. There are lenses of different materials such as hard resin, polycarbonate, polarized and sun-sensitive lenses. Some can be tinted and some cannot. For example, it is not easy to tint polycarbonate lenses, although they are highly durable as a choice for prescription sunglasses. There are other lens materials that are both durable and can be tinted to the shade you want. Check with your optician to know whether prescription sunglasses can be made from your plain sunglasses. Your optician will recommend the right choice. At the Glenmore Landing Vision Center your eye health and sight are important to us.
