It is the perfect time of the year to consider upgrading your sunglasses. How about choosing prescription sunglasses? Here at Positive Eye Ons Optometry, our optical team will work with you to find the right prescription for your sunglasses. Get started with these frequently asked questions about prescription sunglasses answered by our Los Angeles optometrist, Dr. Ryan Stybel.
 

Do I Need to Get Prescription Sunglasses?

If you currently wear contact lenses or eyeglasses for vision correction, then we highly recommend prescription sunglasses. There are many environments, such as swimming pools or lakes, where it is not advisable to wear contacts. Prescription sunglasses give you vision correction, as well as protection against UV rays. We also recommend prescription-strength sunglasses so you do not need to constantly change your eyeglasses and nonprescription sunglasses all the time.
 

Why are UV Sunglasses Considered to be Beneficial?

UV sunglasses protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation. You can get 100 UV blocking formulations for your sunglasses here at Positive Eye Ons Optometry. This way, your pupils and corneas are safe against UV rays, which can damage your eyes and lead to vision loss. By choosing prescription sunglasses with UV protection from our optometrist, you are guaranteed to receive safe and effective eye protection.
 

What Options of Lenses are Available When Choosing Prescription Sunglasses?

We can fit sunglasses with most prescriptions. For example, if you wear bifocals or multifocal lenses, we can develop sunglass lenses with these prescriptions. We also offer progressive lenses in sunglasses. You can also get polarized lenses for your sunglasses, which protect against glare from sunlight.
