A Buying Guide for Prescription Sunglasses

Book Appointment

Warm, summer temperatures are linked to the development of eye conditions such as styes, dry eye, conjunctivitis and eye allergies. Prescription sunglasses can help you see more clearly and protect your eyes while looking stylish.

A Buying Guide for Prescription Sunglasses

In today’s post, your local pediatric eye doctor, Park Slope Eye, shares a guide for buying prescription sunglasses.

Styles

You have many options when it comes to frame styles. Most prescription sunglass frames are the same as non-prescription ones. However, there’s limited availability for certain wraparound sunglasses. Keep in mind that extremely curved frames can distort your vision.

Lens Options

Consider lenses with a photochromic tint or transition lenses. These lenses darken when you step outside into sunlight and become clear when you’re indoors. A downside of photochromic lenses is they don’t darken as much inside a car because car windshields block huge amounts of ultraviolet light. Talk with your eye doctor for a recommendation on the best lenses for you. Visit Park Slope Eye, your local provider of eyeglasses, for a wide selection of frame styles and lenses.

UV Protection

Choose lenses that provide 100 percent UV protection. Ask your eye doctor to verify whether the lens you’ve chosen provides total protection from UV rays. Another option is polarized sunglasses, which protect your eyes from glare by reflecting the light.

For your eye care and vision needs, Park Slope Eye is here to serve. Our team will help you select the best eyeglasses to accentuate your facial features. We also offer dry eye treatment, vision therapy, contact lenses and laser eye surgery. Schedule an appointment online to learn more about our products and services.
