Cheap Prescription Sunglasses
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Some very good cheap prescription sunglasses are available if you know where to look!
Who Can Use These Sunglasses?
Many people wear prescription eyeglasses, and for the most part, besides occasionally misplacing them, the entire process goes off without a hitch. However, this seemingly seamless process can run into all kinds of pitfalls when it comes to the sun's glare. That's where cheap Rx sunglasses can really come in handy.
Whether trying to navigate your car on a sunny day or just trying to run errands on a busy Saturday, these type of sunglasses can prove invaluable. Who can wear these sunglasses? Just about everyone, including those with:
- Bifocal Needs: Typically bifocals mean that one segment of the lens aids with near vision difficulties, while another segment takes care of things at a distance. It is possible to find prescription sunglasses to suit this need.
- Progressive Lenses: Progressive lenses sometimes call PASL, are multifocal lenses that continually change, or progress, as the wearer's needs change. These lenses work in three ways; one section is for greater distances, another for immediate distance and still yet another is for "close work", like reading.
The real advantage of this lens is that each area blends seamlessly into the other, and even better, does so without any of the typical delineations so common with eye glasses of the past.
- Suffers of Presbyopia: Presbyopia is a fancy sounding name that describes the blurred vision that many over the age of forty experience. This blurred vision typically occurs when reading, sewing or working at the computer and it usually prompts the individual to hold an object at arm's length. Luckily, suffers of presbyopia can also find prescription sunglasses that suits their needs.
A Word on Prices
While it is possible to find cheap prescription sunglasses, keep in mind that "cheap" is a relative term. It is possible to find a pair of these sunglasses for under a hundred dollars, but that price can vary widely depending on the type of frame and whether or not it has a designer label. In other words, the best way to keep costs down is to stay away from designer names, and/or to comparison shop.
Shopping For Cheap Prescription Sunglasses
For inexpensive prescription sunglasses, try:
The Glass Shop
The Glass Shop offers a very comprehensive and informative site. Here, you can choose the color of your tint (for $4.95). These tints are broken down into varying degrees of color intensity within each category (green, brown and grey).
From there, select the type of lens (you can choose mid-index, thin plastic or Transitions IV Lenses). Note that the mid-index lens is much cheaper at $34.95, while the Transitions lenses are priced at $199.95.
The next, and final, step is to choose whether or not you want your lenses polarized (and additional $45.95). Lastly, in addition to being able to design your own sunglasses, The Glass Shop also offers an impressive collection of ultra violet radiation facts that serves to provide even more information as you select your sunglasses.
39 Dollar Glasses
The prescription sunglasses at 39 Dollar Sunglasses are divided into several different categories, some of which include:
- Metal Sunglasses
- Plastic Sunglasses
- Rimless Sunglasses
- Semi Rimless Sunglasses
Once you click on the desired category, you'll see that the collection here is extensive (more than thirty pairs per page), but perhaps best of all is the fact that all of the pairs are available for $48.95.
Go Optic
Go Optic has a very large collection of designer prescription sunglasses, but the good news is that many of them are reasonably priced. For example, here you'll be able to find a pair of Joseph Abboud sunglasses for as low as $70.00, so this is definitely a site worth investigating.
Putting It All Together
Cheap prescription sunglasses are definitely worth investigating because they can really help to improve the quality of your life. Instead of fumbling around in your car's glove department for the appropriate clip-on, these sunglasses can be worn throughout your drive. Take your time, do the research, and you should be able to find a pair that is perfect for you!
