You may sometimes find yourself driving down the road, the sun shining in your eyes, as you search in vain for those clip-on that came with your prescription eyeglasses.

At times like these, you might find that prescription sunglasses are much more convenient and more than worth the additional investment.

Contact lens wearers, too, may find wearing prescription sunglasses is sometimes a far more practical alternative outdoors. For example, you may not want to wear your contact lenses on the beach where your eyes can become itchy and watery as you battle the effects of sand, sun, wind, and water.

But with prescription sunglasses, you have the option of wearing them anytime outdoors without the need to search for clip-on sunglasses or deal with contact lenses.

More Advantages of Prescription Sunglasses

If you have a vision problem that requires corrective prescription eyeglasses, you have several choices when it comes to sunglasses. Prescription sunglasses are available for virtually any type of glasses prescription, including single vision eyeglasses, bifocal eyeglasses, and progressive eyeglasses if you are presbyopic and need lenses to help you read that magazine or book at the pool. These types of prescription sunglasses including bifocal sunglasses and progressive sunglasses also can help you if you need reading glasses only or if you wear contact lenses to correct only your distance vision and still need that additional boost for reading.
You might also consider prescription swimming goggles when it comes time to take a dip.
