Choosing the Right Prescription Sunglasses

Protect Your Eyes from the Sun

Dr. Amin at Southaven Primary Eye Care will administer an eye exam and help you find the perfect pair of prescription sunglasses.

Choosing Your Shade

When you pick sunglasses, it isn't all about the fit and style as it is with traditional glasses. Sunglasses have a dark coating on them that you should evaluate before choosing the best ones for you. The sunglasses you choose should have a level of darkness that you are comfortable with. Someone that has problems with sun glare might want dark glasses or polarizing lenses to see better outdoors. If the brightness of the sun does not bother you much, you may want a lighter tint. There are also different colors of tints that you can choose from like brown, yellow, pink, and more.

Choosing Your Style

Just like regular glasses, sunglasses make a big difference in the way your face is perceived. The shape of the frames is important, so choose one based on the shape of your face. The idea is to create a balance between the top and bottom of your face. If you have a thick chin, for instance, you can choose thick, wide frames that will balance the chin. Try on several designs to see which ones are beneficial to your face.

Pick a Good Fit

If you like a pair of sunglasses but they do not fit well, never choose those frames. If they hurt your head or constantly slide down, you will be less likely to wear them, and that could mean that you will receive eye damage from the sun.
