Do you use prescription sunglasses during the daytime and indoors, but have a pair of prescription sunglasses that you use when going outdoors? If so then you are probably aware of how inconvenient it is to have to keep juggling between the two eyewear accessories. It can especially become a hassle when your daily schedule is a hectic one. Imagine holding your morning coffee on one hand or carrying the grocery bags-who has time to reach into their pockets and switch eyewear given this scenario? Fortunately, clip-on sunglasses can solve this problem. A clip-on is actually a pair of lenses that can fit over your prescription glasses and can stay in place through tiny clips or magnets. So instead of taking off and wearing frames, all you have to do is put the clip-on lenses over your prescription glasses.
Types to help your sight
There are several types of clip-on sunglasses and it’s up to you to choose which one you are most comfortable with. The standard types are those that come with a clip attached at the bridge. To put these on, all you need to do is clasp the clip on the bridge of your prescription glasses. If you don’t like this type of clip-ons then you can go for magnetic sunglasses. They work the same way as the standard type except for the fact that they use small, almost invisible magnets on the side of the lenses instead of a clip in the bridge. Flip-up sunglasses may be the most popular among the three. They can come in either clip-on or magnetic. Many people prefer them because they can stay attached to your prescription glasses whether you are indoors or outdoor. All you have to do is flip them up or down as needed.
Tips to remember
When it comes to buying clip-on sunglasses, be sure to select a pair that is compatible with your prescription glasses-in both shape and lens grade. Picking sunglasses with a different lens grade than your prescription will definitely cause some vision problems for you.
