Types of prescription sunglasses

prescription sunglasses can be made in various styles, depending on your visual needs and personal style.

Single-vision: ideal for those who need correction for a single viewing distance.
Progressive: perfect for those who need to see clearly both up close and at a distance.
Polarised: reduce glare and improve contrast, excellent for driving.
Photochromic: they darken in light, useful for those who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments.
