Prescription Sunglasses
Your prescription, in the sunshine.
Clear vision and proper sun protection in one beautiful pair — polarised, tinted, driving or varifocal, in independent and designer frames made up to your prescription.
No more squinting, no more clip-ons
Sunglasses should not mean compromising your vision.
If you wear glasses, bright days can mean squinting, struggling with clip-ons, or simply going without proper sun protection. Prescription sunglasses solve all of it — your exact prescription, with the glare cut and the comfort built in.
Your options
Made for the way you use them.
From the daily commute to long days outdoors, we tailor lens, tint and frame to suit.
Polarised lenses
Cut glare from roads, water and bright surfaces for sharper, more comfortable vision — and far less squinting.
Driving sunglasses
Tints and polarisation chosen specifically for clearer, calmer vision behind the wheel in bright conditions.
Tints & gradients
A considered choice of tints, densities and gradient finishes — practical, flattering and unmistakably yours.
Varifocal sunglasses
See far, intermediate and near in the sun through a single seamless lens — ideal for an all-day outdoor pair.
Independent & designer
Frames worth wearing in the sun.
Our prescription sunglasses are made in a considered collection of independent and designer frames — including Maui Jim (available in our Burnley and Swinton practices), Tom Ford and Gucci — chosen for quality, fit and individuality.
Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses are available across all our practices, too — now available with Nikon lenses.
Not sure which pair suits you? An eyewear styling consultation helps you choose sunglasses that suit your face, colouring and lifestyle — and they make a natural part of an Eyewear Wardrobe.
Prescription sunglasses FAQs
Good to know.
Can I get sunglasses in my prescription?
Yes. We make prescription sunglasses across a wide range of frames, including polarised, tinted, gradient and varifocal options — so you get clear, comfortable vision in bright light without squinting or relying on clip-ons.
What are polarised sunglasses?
Polarised lenses contain a filter that cuts the harsh glare reflected from roads, water and other bright surfaces. The result is sharper, more comfortable vision and richer contrast — particularly useful for driving and time outdoors.
Are prescription sunglasses worth it?
For anyone who wears glasses and spends time outdoors or driving, they are transformative — proper sun protection and a clear prescription in one pair, rather than struggling between glare, clip-ons and squinting. They are a natural part of a considered eyewear wardrobe.
Can I get varifocal or driving prescription sunglasses?
Yes. Varifocal sunglasses give you clear vision at every distance in the sun through a single seamless lens, and we can tailor tints and polarisation specifically for driving. We will help you choose what makes sense for how you use them.
Which sunglasses brands do you offer?
We carry a considered, independent and designer collection — including names such as Maui Jim (available in our Burnley and Swinton practices), Tom Ford, Gucci and more — chosen for quality, fit and individuality, and made up to your prescription.
Do you stock Ray-Ban Meta or Oakley Meta smart glasses?
Yes — Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses are available across all of our practices, and can now be fitted with Nikon lenses.
Can I use an NHS optical voucher towards prescription sunglasses?
If you are entitled to an NHS optical voucher, it may contribute towards prescription lenses, including sunglasses, for some patients. We will explain your options and any contribution clearly before you decide.
