Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast who spends a lot of time in the sun or simply want to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, prescription sunglasses are a great option.

We have offices in Houston and Katy, so drop by for a thorough eye exam and a new pair of prescription sunglasses.

What Are Prescription Sunglasses?

Prescription sunglasses are simply sunglasses that have been designed to correct vision. This means they will have the same strength as regular glasses or contact lenses, depending on your prescription. They can be made with either single vision or progressive lenses and can be used for a variety of different activities, from driving to playing sports.

How Do Prescription Sunglasses Work?

Prescription sunglasses work by bending the light that enters your eyes to correct any refractive errors you may have. This means that if you suffer from myopia (nearsightedness), presbyopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism, prescription sunglasses can help you see clearly. They can also reduce glare and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.

The Benefits of Prescription Sunglasses

There are many benefits to wearing prescription sunglasses, including:

  • Protection from harmful UV rays: Prescription sunglasses block out 100% of UV rays. UV rays can damage your eyes and lead to conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
  • Reduced glare: Glare can be extremely distracting and dangerous, especially when you're driving. Prescription sunglasses can reduce glare and ensure you have a clear view of the road.
  • Enhanced vision: If you suffer from any kind of refractive error, prescription sunglasses can help improve your vision. This means you will be able to see more clearly and avoid eye strain.

Choose the Right Prescription Sunglasses

When choosing prescription sunglasses, it's important to take into account a few factors, including:

  • Your prescription: Make sure you choose sunglasses that are designed to correct your specific refractive error. If you're unsure what your prescription is, our optometrists can help.
  • The size of your lenses: Larger lenses will provide more coverage and protection from UV rays, while smaller lenses will be less obtrusive. It's important to find a pair that strikes a balance between the two.
  • The style of the frames: Prescription sunglasses come in various styles, from aviators to wayfarers. Choose a pair that compliments your personal style and face shape.
