If you wear glasses, regular sunglasses mean choosing between seeing clearly and squinting. Clip-ons are clunky, and wearing contacts just to wear sunglasses isn't for everyone. Prescription sunglasses solve it, and they're much cheaper online than most people think.

Gray or brown tint?
- Gray: keeps colors natural and cuts brightness evenly. The classic choice for bright sun and driving.
- Brown: adds warmth and contrast, so details pop. Popular for golf, fishing and changing light.
The same logic applies to light-adaptive lenses; see Transitions gray vs. brown.
Tint vs. Transitions vs. polarized
| Option | How it works | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Solid tint (+$20) | Always dark | A dedicated pair of sunglasses; works in the car |
| Transitions (+$68) or photochromic (+$55) | Clear indoors, dark outdoors | One pair for everything; usually stays light behind a windshield |
| Polarized | Filters reflected glare from water and roads | Fishing and boating (we don't offer polarized lenses at this time) |
For driving, a solid tint is usually the better pick, because most windshields block the UV light that makes Transitions darken.
What about UV protection?
Dark lenses alone don't guarantee UV protection. If you want built-in UV protection, choose polycarbonate lenses (+$15), which block UV and are impact-resistant, a smart combination for outdoor and active wear.
Choosing a sunglasses frame
- Go a little larger. Medium and large frames block more light from the sides and above.
- Classic sunglass shapes like aviator-style, round and bold rectangle frames look great tinted. Browse round and rectangle frames.
- Very strong prescription? Smaller frames keep lenses thinner. Consider 1.67 high-index.
- Stick to your size. Use the numbers from glasses that fit you. See how to find your glasses size.
Can I use HSA or FSA money?
Prescription sunglasses are generally an eligible expense for HSA and FSA accounts, because they correct your vision. Details in can you use HSA or FSA for glasses?
