Although very often we tend to consider eyewear as a form of decoration, sunglasses are first and foremost a protection of the delicate eye system from the impact of the ultraviolets. There are however people who cannot buy a pair of sunglasses and enjoy them because they have special eye conditions. This is the case with anyone who suffers from myopia, astigmatism or hyperopia. Prescription sunglasses could be a solution for improving sight and protecting eyes from the action of the UV radiation at the same time. The UVB rays cause sunburn while the UVA rays get absorbed by the human eye lens.
Dark lens design and prescription lens structure represent a medical solution to create a product of sun protection eyewear type. Prescription sunglasses use different types of lenses, and here we can count polarized lenses, anti-reflective lenses, blue blockers, photochromic lenses and gradient lenses. It is important to mention here, before going on with the description of prescription sunglasses, that you can only order this kind of eyewear based on an ophthalmologist’s recommendation and after careful medical examination. Some health condition such as eye surgery may require total prevention of sun exposure. This is why most often doctors prescribe sunglasses with 99 or 100% protection against UVA and UVB.
Wraparound designs could be a good solution for prescription sunglasses as you’ll also be protected at the sides of the eyes too. Here, the choice of the frame is everything because it should be large enough to allow for such protection. As for the glare, not only prescription sunglasses but most sunglasses in general have a special anti-reflective coating that ensures superior reflexion of the light. The amount of light that enters the eyes could also be limited by using mirror-coated lenses. The stage of the eye condition will also have an influence on the design of the prescription sunglasses.
It is sometimes difficult to create functional prescription sunglasses for advanced forms of myopia where the thickness of the lenses is very high. The presence of two or more health problems at the same time could also become an obstacle for the design of prescription sunglasses. The doctor should be able to recommend an adequate course of action, with the mention that the design of highly specialized prescription sunglasses is more difficult. Moreover, price awareness is another important element given the fact that prescription sunglasses will always be more expensive, as the number of specialists who can design them is smaller too.
