I was devastated to find out I needed glasses back when I was 13. How could I possibly look stylish behind a pair of frames? The horror! Rest assured, I grew to love my specs and I’m constantly trying to make sure to keep up with the latest eyewear trends. Bright coloured frames? Check. Cat-eyes? Double check. Prescription sunglasses? Triple check.
One thing to consider about prescription sunglasses is that we vision-impaired folks can’t just go to the nearest accessories stand and pick up a pair. That doesn’t mean getting a pair is less convenient, though. There’s a growing number of online opticals that can ship a pair of sunglasses, RX and all, right to your doorstep.
Get ready for beach days by grabbing a pair at any of the amazing sites below.
