If you think about why you need to switch to Prescription Sunglasses over your regular sunglasses, here's the situation you should consider. You don't have contact lenses in for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't wear them, or if you do, its allergy season, you've run out of contacts, or you forgot. So you're wearing prescription glasses and in a bright, sunny situation where the sun's rays are causing you to squint uncomfortably. You try to get some relief by holding your hand up over your eyes, but your arm gets tired. You silently wish you had a better solution, but since you don't, you do the unthinkable: wear your regular sunglasses "over" your prescription glasses. It's a bad idea because it not only risks scratching and stretching your sunglasses and prescription eyewear but also hurts the bridge of your nose and irritates the top of your ears. Not to mention that one pair or the other is constantly slipping down your nose, requiring you to push them back into position to see constantly. And that's just from your point of view. With two mismatched pairs of glasses on, you appear to the rest of the world to be a strange, bug-eyed alien with multiple peepers that don't align properly.
It's time to consider the advantages of having prescription sunglasses made specifically for you. Here are five compelling reasons to do so:
1. Under the Sun, Clear Vision
Prescription sunglasses are ideal if you spend any time outside and value crisp, clear vision in all lighting conditions. You can have the lenses made in any sunglass tint you prefer, from light to dark, and in colors such as grey, rose, yellow, and blue, depending on how you prefer to see the world. Prescription sunglasses can correct and enhance your vision every day when the sun shines on you, whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism, or are in the presbyopia years.
2. Remove the Glare
Some people are more sensitive to glare than to sunlight's brightness. Polarized prescription lenses reduce blinding glare, which occurs when the sun's horizontal rays reflect into your eyes from surfaces such as roadways, sidewalks, beaches, playgrounds, sports fields, bodies of water, car hoods, and snow in the winter. Polarized prescription lenses will allow you to see more clearly outdoors. That means more enjoyable days at the beach, behind the wheel, or participating in your favorite outdoor sport or activity.
3. Complete UV protection
Whatever color and style you choose, your prescription sunglasses will protect your eyes by blocking 100% of the sun's UV rays. UV ray damage can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, and cancer of the eyelids and surrounding skin. Sunglasses prevent sunburn and premature aging of the delicate skin around your eyes because they extend the benefits of UV protection to the skin around your eyes—which is why some people choose the largest sunglass frames they can find. Because the thin, sensitive skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable to UV damage, wearing prescription sunglasses that block out 100 percent of the sun's harmful UV rays will keep you looking cool every day and help you look younger for longer.

4. Lens Choices for Your Lifestyle
When you have a custom-made prescription sunglasses pair, you can select the material and treatment for your lenses. Here are a few popular options:
Polycarbonate lenses are impact-resistant, making them an excellent choice if you live an active lifestyle and participate in outdoor sports.
Scratch-resistant: This feature is for you if you drop your sunglasses frequently.
Polarized: This treatment reduces glare for better vision in any situation.
Photochromic lenses: These intelligent lenses automatically darken or lighten in response to the amount of direct sunlight them and you experience.
You can even get online prescription sunglasses easily.
5. Combine the Best of All Possible Worlds
Prescription sunglasses are a one-stop shop for a variety of issues:
Every day can be something other than a contact lens day. When you have allergies, don't get enough sleep, or cry during a sad movie, your eyes need a break.
UV rays from the sun are present 365 days a year, even when it is cloudy! So, regardless, every day is a good day to wear your sunglasses.

You'll be able to read on the beach, watch your child score the game-winning goal, and find your friends at outdoor events with ease.
