Clip-On Sunglasses : All You Need To Know About Them

What Are Clip-on Sunglasses?

Clip-on sunglasses are very convenient and also an inexpensive way to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays of the sun. They are similar to regular sunglasses which protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays of the sun.

You have many options for clip-on sunglasses too. You have options like different tints, shapes, sizes, and levels of UV protection and coatings. In clip-on sunglasses, the two darkened lenses can be attached straight to your prescription glass-like clips instead of an entire sunglass frame.

Do Clip-on Sunglasses work?

Sunglasses work exactly like normal sunglasses. They will work properly when they are attached in a correct manner to your prescription glasses and they provide UV rays protection which should be UV-400.

Which Sunglasses Are Better?

How Do You Measure Clip-on Sunglasses?

Clip-on sunglasses are measured from the size of your prescription glasses. The quality of the frame decides the clip-on. It can be round or rectangular, cat-eyed or of the bow-line frame or it can have a different kind of bridge.

All these qualities are kept in mind while making clip-on sunglasses because these clip-on fit your prescription glass frames. Clip-on is measured by the height and width in millimeters, from your prescription glass. Instead of measuring sometimes, the numbers given on your frames work too. These are called eye size and bridge size.

Types of Clip-on Sunglasses

There are three types of clip-on glasses.

Magnetic clip-on sunglasses 

A magnetic clip-on is the most stylish option for when you like your glasses frame and want to wear it simply. A high-end clip-on is the best prescription clip-on glass that you can buy.

Standard clip-on sunglasses

These glasses are not expensive but since they are made of plastic, they can be flimsy. Going for the standard clip-on glasses is an affordable and a great option if you often break your eyeglass frames and accessories.

With a standard clip-on, another significant advantage is coverage. Since prescription eyeglasses tend to be smaller than sunglasses frames, your eyes are still exposed to UV rays.  You will only receive coverage from the front and not from the top, bottom, and sides. They are more likely to cause a bad glare between the clip-on and lens which will not fulfill its purpose.
