What is the difference between prescription sunglasses and regular sunglasses?

Both prescription sunglasses and regular sunglasses have their own set of advantages and you can choose among them based on your needs. Prescription sunglasses are designed to provide a sharper, clearer vision. They usually have a higher-quality lens and are made of harder materials than regular sunglasses. They usually have a higher level of protection than regular sunglasses, and they may also have features that improve vision. They may also come with special features like UV protection or anti-fog coatings.

Regular sunglasses are typically less expensive and offer better coverage from the sun. They can also provide some protection against glare and wind. When purchasing sunglasses, it is important to consider the type of lenses that are used and what type of coverage they offer. Polarized lenses reduce glare and help protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays. Sunglasses with a wrap-around design help cover your eyes completely from the sides, which can be helpful if you are looking for maximum coverage.

What is the best way to clean prescription sunglasses?

There are many ways to clean sunglasses. The easiest way is to rinse them with water and a bar of mild soap. If the lenses are heavily smudged, you may need to use a cleaner that is specifically designed for sunglasses. It is advised that you dry your prescription goggles properly before storing them away.

What are the various options for the lenses that can be found in sunglasses?

When selecting sunglasses, it is a good idea to seek advice from your eye doctor because there are so many different lenses available. Your eye doctor or an optician can assist you in selecting the sunglass tints that are most appropriate for your requirements. Having a tint that is optimized for your vision can help you see better in a variety of environments.

Polarised lenses

Sunglasses with polarised lenses typically offer a higher level of comfort because of their ability to reduce glare caused by the reflection of bright light off of flat surfaces.

Anti-reflective (AR) coating

Glare can be reduced with sunglasses that have an anti-reflective (AR) coating applied to the back side of the lenses. This coating stops light from reflecting off the back surface of the sunglasses, thereby reducing the amount of glare that is produced.

Mirror-coated lenses

Mirror-coated lenses reduce the amount of light that reaches your eyes, making wearing them a more comfortable experience. Mirror coatings, which are also referred to as flash coatings, are highly reflective coatings that are applied to the front surface of sunglass lenses in order to decrease the amount of light that enters the eye. Because of this, they are particularly useful for activities that take place in extremely bright environments, such as snow skiing on a sunny day.

Gradient lenses

When it comes to tinting, gradient lenses are tinted in a way that makes the top of the lens the darkest possible. These lenses are ideal for driving because they protect your eyes from sunlight coming from above while allowing more light to pass through the bottom half of the lens. As a result, you will have a better view of your instrument panel.

Photochromic lenses

The amount of ultraviolet radiation that photochromic lenses are subjected to determines the degree of darkness that they exhibit.

What are the precautions that are needed to be taken while wearing and maintaining Prescription sunglasses?

Here are a few points that you must take care of while wearing and maintaining your prescription sunglasses:

  • When it comes to cleaning your glasses, don’t use the tail of your shirt or any other cloth, especially if the lenses are dry. This could cause your lenses to become scratched.
  • Avoid using saliva when you need to moisten and clean your lenses.
  • When cleaning your eyeglasses, do not use any type of glass or surface cleaner that is intended for use around the house. These products contain components that, if they come into contact with eyeglass lenses or coatings, such as anti-reflective coating, can cause damage.
  • Paper towels, napkins, tissues, and toilet paper are not appropriate for use in cleaning your lenses. These have the potential to scratch or smear your lenses, as well as fill them with lint.
  • Do not make the mistake of attempting to "buff away" a scratch on your lenses. This does nothing but makes the condition of the lenses worsen.
  • Use a generous amount of spray eyeglass cleaner to wipe off any dust and debris present on the lens. This should be done in the event that you do not have access to tap water to rinse your lenses before cleaning them.
Do prescription sunglass lenses with a darker tint offer greater UV protection than those with a lighter tint?

The amount of visible light that is let through the lenses of darker sunglasses is reduced in comparison to the amount of light that is let through the lenses of sunglasses with lighter lens tints. However, darker lens tints do not necessarily offer increased protection from invisible UV rays.

Make sure that your prescription sunglasses block 100 % of UV rays, regardless of the color or darkness of the lenses, so you can get adequate protection from the sun. At RX Safety Canada, no matter what tint you choose for your lenses, you will get the best level of protection for your eyes from UV rays.
