Buy Multifocal & Progressive Sunglasses Online
We hear it a lot:
“Can I get sunglasses with progressive lenses?”
Yes! Many people like progressive sunglasses because they can have different prescriptions without constantly changing their glasses.
Progressive and multifocal lenses are great for non-tinted eyeglasses, too! You can get nearly any of our styles fitted with multifocal lenses. Follow the link below to learn about multifocal and progressive glasses!
What are multifocal sunglasses?
Multifocal sunglass lenses incorporate multiple prescription strengths into a single lens. It allows the wearer to see at multiple distances clearly. Best of all, the wearer can do all of this with a single lens.
Bifocal and trifocal sunglasses are often identified by visible lines in the lens. These lines denote where the prescription changes. Many don’t mind these lines. For those who do, there’s a better option.
What are progressive sunglasses?
Progressive sunglasses use progressive lenses to give all the benefits of a multifocal lens without visible lines. This means a wearer can still see things near, far, and everywhere in between without the need to swap shades.
Progressive lens sunglasses are available in all the same tints as single-vision sunglasses and non-prescription styles.
Are progressive sunglasses a good idea?
They’re a great idea for anyone wanting the advantages of multifocal lenses without visible lines. If you work outside, drive a lot, or prefer to wear prescription sunglasses instead of contacts, you simply can’t go wrong.
That said, there is a brief adjustment period. First-time wearers have reported the following symptoms during the first few days of wear:
- Peripheral Distortion
- Blurriness
- Headaches
- Eye Strain
- Dizziness
- Imbalance
For many, these issues will clear up within a couple days. It comes down to individual eye sensitivity, as everyone is a bit different.
Are progressive and multifocal sunglasses expensive?
Progressive and multifocal sunglasses tend to be more expensive than single-vision alternatives. You may pay as much as $100 more for the upgrade. However, when you consider the alternative, the price difference can be worth it. You’re buying one pair of sunglasses instead of many, and you no longer have to switch pairs to see at different distances.
Ultimately, for most people, they find the added cost worth the benefits of multifocal or progressive lenses.
