Sunglasses Rx FAQ
What does Rx mean on sunglasses?
Rx is the shorthand eye doctors use for the lens numbers from your exam. Rx sunglasses have lenses made to those numbers, so you get sharp sight and a sun tint in the same pair.
Polarized or a regular tint: which should I choose?
Choose polarized if the problem is reflections: water, wet pavement, a car hood. Choose a regular tint if you mostly want things dimmer, or if you read screens outdoors often, since polarized lenses can make some screens look dark at certain angles.
Do light-reactive lenses darken in the car?
Only partly. Most windshields filter UV, and UV is what these lenses respond to. If most of your sunny hours are spent driving, a dedicated tinted or polarized pair is the better match.
My Rx has an ADD number. Can I still order Sunglasses Rx?
Yes, on most frames. Choose the multi-zone option in the lens step. Frames need enough lens height to fit the reading area, and the lens step will tell you if a frame is too shallow.
Can I wear my Sunglasses Rx after sunset?
Sun tints are made for daylight. Keep your clear pair, or light-reactive lenses, for evenings and night.
