Sunglasses Over Eyeglasses – Clip-Ons

Clip-ons fit over the lenses of your regular glasses, converting them to sunglasses without the expense of buying another prescription pair. They look something like sunglasses without the ear pieces. Because clip-ons are less bulky, many people find them more convenient to carry around. Their lenses may be made of plastic or glass, in several different tints. Plastic lenses are tinted by dropping them in dye; this makes their color more continuous.

Glass, on the other hand, is usually coated with a tinting film to darken it; this coating can scratch off. Glass lenses will also be a little heavier. But whether you choose plastic or glass clip-ons, be sure to get lenses with UV protection. Look for a sticker that says ‘100% UV-A and UV-B filtering,’ or ‘100% absorbing below 400 n-m.’ The price for clip-ons is typically half that of prescription sunglasses. So if you aren’t outdoors enough to justify the cost of a second pair of glasses, clip-ons may be a good option for you. To find out more about clip-ons, consult your optician, or other eyewear specialist.
