Anti-Glare Glasses

Glare is a nuisance. That's why anti-glare glasses were developed. Find out about the different kinds and their benefits here.

Did you know that standard lenses transmit around 91% of light to the eye? The rest is lost due to surface reflections. Anti-glare glasses help solve that problem. If you didn’t know the role played by reflection when wearing prescription glasses and are not sure whether or not to get anti-glare glasses, this article will help you understand better. 

What are anti-glare glasses?

Lens coatings are significant because they are vital in providing durable and long-lasting lenses for your eyeglasses. Unfortunately, not everyone knows the different types of lens coatings you can choose from; or worse, some don’t even know such protective layers exist.

Lens coatings enhance the lens performance of your glasses whether you wear single-vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses.

One of the lens coatings you can choose from is anti-glare coatings, also called anti-reflective coating. These lenses are provided with a microscopic multilayered coating that eliminates glare and reflections from the back and front of your eyeglass lenses. As a result, it helps with clearer vision.

What does anti-glare do on glasses?

Thanks to the coating, anti-glare glasses reduce the light reflecting off the lenses, resulting in more light passing through and having more clarity. Not only will you be able to see better, but the glasses will also help with surface reflections and give you greater visual performance.

Anti-glare glasses benefits

There are more benefits to anti-reflective glasses than you might think; here are some of the advantages of choosing anti-glare coatings: 

  1. Improved vision while driving at night, which results in being more aware and in control while driving.
  2. Better clarity when working in front of a screen.
  3. Less visual fatigue caused by reflections. 
  4. Your eyes are more visible, which helps with eye contact and looking better in photos. 
  5. If you wear glasses all day every day, anti-reflective coating gives the most natural visual experience and places less strain on your eyes.

Disadvantages of anti-glare glasses

There are also a few disadvantages when getting anti-glare glasses, including the increased need for cleaning. After getting your pair of anti-glare glasses, you might want to clean them more often because anti-glare glasses highlight dirt or dust.

This also happens with scratches, which means glasses must be handled with extra care. To learn more on how to properly take care of your glasses, check out our tutorial below. 

DID YOU KNOW?

Anti-glare coatings cannot be added to glasses after purchase, they must be applied beforehand.

Do I need anti-glare on my glasses?

Anti-glare coating is not mandatory, but it is advised as it enhances the overall performance of your glasses. Not only will you have clearer vision, but you will also look better and struggle less while doing your everyday activities.

Can you add anti-glare to glasses after purchase?

No, anti-glare cannot be added to your lenses after the purchase. If you need to decide whether or not to add anti-glare coatings to your glasses because of the price, remember there are many affordable online options that let you add an anti-glare coating to your lenses without breaking the bank.

Are anti-glare and blue light glasses the same?

No, anti-glare and blue light glasses are not the same, as they are two types of coatings and are designed for different purposes. Anti-glare coatings are designed to increase the amount of light passing through the lenses, while blue light glasses are designed to block the blue light coming off screens.

Blue light block can be added as an additional coating to your lenses when purchasing your glasses.

How to care for glasses with anti-glare coating

As mentioned above, anti-glare glasses might need to be handled with more care than regular glasses. To make sure your glasses are always cared for properly, remember to:

  • Store the glasses in their protective case when you’re not wearing them.
  • Always use a microfiber cloth during the cleaning process.
  • You also might want to use an optical spray.

Remember to avoid cleaning your glasses with shirts or chemical cleaners, as this might be damaging to your glasses. If you want to read more about lens coatings, we have an informative article right here.

How to Recognise and Prevent Digital Eye Strain

If you’re using digital screens for long periods of time, you could be suffering from digital eye strain. Learn what the symptoms are and how you can avoid them.

There’s no denying that our world is shifting to even more screen time with our access to TV, computers and phones. As we now spend an average of 8 hours a day looking at digital screens, it’s time to focus on taking care of our eye health. Unfortunately, there is no avoiding this issue, but there are things we can do to prevent eye strain. 

We must take our eye health seriously, just like we do for our physical and mental health. If you’re worried about your vision or someone close to you, keep reading to learn more about digital eye strain, its symptoms and ways to avoid it.

What is digital eye strain?

Digital eye strain, also known as Computer Vision Syndrome, is an unfortunate eye and vision-related problem caused by prolonged computer use (American Optometric Association 2022). Over the last few decades, these issues have become more common, with 2 out of 3 people reporting symptoms (Chu, A 2023). 

 If you use a computer or digital screen for extended periods, you most likely suffer from symptoms whether you realise it or not. Computer Vision Syndrome is common in children and adults and can lead to severe effects if left untreated.

What does a strained eye feel like?

When you suffer from strained eyes, they may feel sore, achy or tired. You may experience light sensitivity and discomfort when moving your eyes or focusing on everyday objects. In severe cases, you might even experience headaches or blurred vision.

What causes digital eye strain?

Digital eye strain can be caused by concentrating on reading text on a computer screen or digital device, which causes more strain than reading a book. Other causes of digital eye strain include:

  • Screen glare
  • Inadequate lighting 
  • Poor posture while using a digital device
  • Using a digital device too close or far from your eyes
  • Uncorrected/detected eye-vision problems
  • Less frequent blinking than usual when using a digital device
  • Extended exposure to blue light emitted from digital screens 
  • Infrequent breaks from your digital devices

Unfortunately, what causes digital eye strain is not just one factor but a combination of them all. It’s important to be aware of all the factors to ensure you adjust each one that applies to you.

What causes eye strain in one eye?

It’s not uncommon to feel the symptoms of eye strain in just one eye rather than both. This can be caused by a variety of factors, like a change in your glasses prescription or an eye injury. Of course, looking at digital screens, reading in low light or performing tasks that require intense focus can all contribute to eye strain in one eye. 

Other factors such as allergies, dry eyes or eye infections can also cause a feeling of eye strain in just one eye. It’s important to identify the underlying cause of eye strain to prevent further discomfort and protect your vision.

Digital eye strain symptoms

Computer Vision Syndrome and digital eye strain can be highly uncomfortable, resulting in painful physical symptoms like eye fatigue, blurred or double vision, neck and shoulder pain, and more.

Much like the causes of digital eye strain, the symptoms you feel may be a combination of a few or all of them in worst-case scenarios. If symptoms aren’t treated, you may also suffer from extreme digital eye strain that can cause vertigo, nausea and twitching of facial muscles like the area around your eyes.

Digital eye strain treatments

Small changes in your everyday behaviors and environment are generally enough to treat digital eye strain. But if you are frequently suffering, you may need to combine a mix of different treatments and implement them in your daily activities.

1. Update your prescription glasses

As our eyes and vision needs can continuously change over time, it’s essential to make sure you are updating your glasses or contact lenses and having yearly eye checks. Up-to-date contact lens prescription and lenses may be required to match your vision needs for computer viewing. You can also customise your corrective lenses to include coatings that improve your eyesight and comfort.

DID YOU KNOW

2 out of 3 people suffer from painful symptoms of digital eye strain, which can be prevented with small, easy changes to your everyday routine and computer setup.

2. Rest your eyes with the 20-20-20 rule

Follow the 20-20-20 rule to give your eyes a well-deserved rest. The 20-20-20 rule is an easy exercise that you can implement everywhere. Every 20 minutes, give your eyes a 20-second rest by focusing on something 20 feet away. Repeating this throughout the day will help with eye fatigue and soreness.

3. Make sure your posture and computer position is correct

If your job is computer-based or you study online, ensure you have the ideal posture and computer position to reduce your Computer Vision Syndrome symptoms. Your screen should be 4-5 inches below your eyesight and 20-28 inches away from your eyes. Sitting upright with a well-supported back is vital. Add a footrest to support your feet and back to increase comfort.

4. Ensure your lighting works for you

Poor lighting, brightness and harsh glare from direct sunlight can affect what you see on your screen. Try to relocate your monitor, close your curtains or shades to fix these issues and experiment with your screen settings. Increasing your font size and adjusting your screen to the warmer end of the colour spectrum can help alleviate the effects of eye strain.

5. Try some blue light blocking lenses

Add blue light blocking lenses to your prescription glasses to stay protected from the harmful blue light rays emitted from your screen. These lenses can be added to any glasses easily and will help reduce eye strain and fatigue caused by digital devices.

How long does eye strain take to heal?

Depending on the severity of your eye strain and the cause, you can recover within a few minutes to a few days. It’s important to remember that your digital eye strain won’t heal unless you are taking active steps to relieve your symptoms. 

Who is at risk of getting digital eye strain?

No matter your age, you’re at risk if you have access to screens. Anyone looking at their computer, phone, or TV for two or more hours in a row can be at risk of developing painful symptoms. Of course, anyone who works, studies or spends prolonged time on digital screens can be at a higher risk than others.

How to prevent digital eye strain?

Now that you know what causes digital eye strain and how to treat your screen fatigue at home, you should be able to adjust your regular habits to reduce strain and avoid severe symptoms. If you feel your computer screen is the biggest trigger, consider looking into computer glasses that could also prevent painful cases of eye strain.

Ensure you get a regular eye exam from your eye doctor so you can stay on top of any underlining eye issues and keep your overall eye health in check. For more information and eye health tips, ask our certified online Opticians any questions you may have.

Strabismus: Explanation and Treatment Options

What is strabismus? Learn about its causes, symptoms (including when they appear) and treatments.
Eye doctor examining a child patient

Have you ever wondered if there are glasses able to correct strabismus? Or if any other treatments can help? Find all the information you need about strabismus, what it is, why it occurs, and all the treatment options.

What is strabismus?

Strabismus (also sometimes known as crossed eyes) is a condition where one of the eyes is not aligned with the other – i.e.; it looks in a different direction from the other eye.  

Six muscles control the movement of the eyes. Under normal conditions, these muscles work together and point the eyes in the same direction. When strabismus occurs, one of the eyes works differently and has a problem keeping ocular alignment. 

Proper eye alignment is needed to avoid seeing double, for good depth perception, and to prevent poor vision in the turned eye. When the eyes are misaligned, the brain receives two different images. This may create double vision and confusion. However, over time, the brain will start to ignore the image received from the turned eye.

Strabismus can be constant or intermittent, which means it can either be constantly present or only be present at times. Other two types include:

  • Unilateral strabismus occurs when the misalignment affects the same eye.
  • Alternating strabismus happens when your eyes may take turns being misaligned.

Based on the direction of the misaligned eye, there are four types of strabismus:

  • Esotropia: inward turning
  • Exotropia: outward turning
  • Hypertropia: upward turning
  • Hypotropia: downward turning
types of strabismus
DID YOU KNOW
Strabismus usually appears during the first three years of age, but cases of adult strabismus are also very common.

Strabismus symptoms

Based on what age the strabismus occurs, different symptoms may appear. In adults, signs of strabismus might include:

  • Weakness in the eye
  • Vision changes (double vision, blurry vision, loss of depth perception)
  • Constant tilting of the head to see an image clearly

Strabismus is one of the most common eye conditions in children. Children can either be born with strabismus or acquire it later. Strabismus should be diagnosed as early as possible to prevent vision loss and be able to take the necessary precautions. Signs of strabismus (crossed eyes) in children can include:

  • The eyes are always turned outward or inward during the first three months of age
  • After the first three months of age, one or both eyes are crossing in
  • Red-eye infection in one eye

If not diagnosed and treated early, strabismus can result in amblyopia, also called ‘lazy eye.’ Amblyopia causes vision to not develop properly in the misaligned eye and can eventually lead to complete vision loss. Another complication is double vision, not to mention the personal side effects of having a misaligned eye.

When do the symptoms of strabismus appear?

By the age of three to four months, the infant’s eyes should be able to focus on small items and remain straight. The baby should easily focus on objects both near and far away. Strabismus is common among infants and usually appears by the time the child is three years old. 

False strabismus can make it seem like the child has a misaligned eye when the eyes are aimed in the same direction. With the baby’s growth and development, the eyes will no longer appear crossed.

What causes strabismus?

As previously explained, strabismus occurs when the six muscles that control our eye movements don’t work correctly. 30% of the children with strabismus have inherited the condition from their family history and have a family member with a similar problem.

  • Down syndrome (20-60% of patients with Down syndrome are affected)
  • Stroke (is the leading cause of strabismus in adults)
  • Head injuries (if the damaged area of the brain is responsible for the control of eye movement)
  • Brain tumors
  • Poor vision in one eye 

Strabismus is one of the most common eye conditions in children. Children can either be born with strabismus or acquire it later. Strabismus should be diagnosed as early as possible to prevent vision loss and be able to take the necessary precautions. Signs of strabismus (crossed eyes) in children can include: 

  • The eyes are always turned outward or inward during the first three months of age
  • After the first three months of age, one or both eyes are crossing in
  • Red-eye infection in one eye

If not diagnosed and treated early, strabismus can result in amblyopia, also called ‘lazy eye.’ Amblyopia causes vision to not develop properly in the misaligned eye and can eventually lead to complete vision loss. Another complication is double vision, not to mention the personal side effects of having a misaligned eye.

How is strabismus diagnosed?

Strabismus is diagnosed after a complete eye examination with an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The exam can include different things, such as:

  • The examination of patient history to determine if any other complications may cause strabismus and affect it.
  • Examination of eye health to determine the overall health of the eye; based on when the patient has been diagnosed, there might already be some damage to the eye.
  • Visual acuity test to measure the visual acuity and determine how much vision is being affected in the misaligned eye.
  • Alignment and focusing tests assess how well the eyes align and move together.

Once all tests are done and completed, based on the diagnosis, your eyecare specialist can discuss with you and suggest treatment options.

Can strabismus be prevented?

Unfortunately, strabismus cannot be prevented; however, if detected early and properly treated, it can be corrected. When it comes to strabismus treatments, there are several options:

  • Eyeglasses  or contacts
  • Patching: covering the misaligned eye with a patch every day for a few hours can help remind the brain which ‘correct eye’ needs attention. This can sometimes lead to a better alignment of the misaligned eye.
  • Prism lenses: these lenses are thicker than usual lenses and can alter the light that reaches the eye; this results in the eye having to move less to see properly. In some cases, prism lenses can eliminate eye turning.
  • Visual therapy: your eyecare specialist might prescribe a few visual activities to improve eye coordination and eye focusing. These eye muscle exercises can be done with a professional’s help or at home.
  • Eye muscle surgery: this intervention changes the length and position of the muscles around the eye so they don’t look misaligned anymore. After this type of surgery, visual therapy is often advised.
  • Medications 

Based on the severity of the strabismus, some treatments might be more effective than others. Cases of mild strabismus may only require glasses or patching, while severe cases might require eye muscle surgery. 

types of treatments for strabismus

Can strabismus be fixed?

Adult strabismus can be treated in various ways; just like for children, not treating strabismus can be extremely dangerous for the eye’s overall health.

Studies show that improvement is possible at any age when it comes to strabismus. The recovery speed might differ, but adults can still achieve great results by doing visual therapy, wearing glasses, and taking all the necessary measurements to improve.

Adult strabismus surgery is also very common, mainly because it is easier for adults to undergo surgery than for children.

False strabismus can make it seem like the child has a misaligned eye when the eyes are aimed in the same direction. With the baby’s growth and development, the eyes will no longer appear crossed.

Glasses for strabismus

When it comes to glasses, it is important to note that there are no special glasses that correct strabismus. 

After consulting with an ophthalmologist, the treatment of strabismus can include wearing corrective lenses. In some cases of mild strabismus, prescription glasses can even correct the alignment. Based on the condition of the eye, the doctor can either suggest prism lenses or not.

Do glasses help with strabismus?

Again, depending on how severe the strabismus is, eyeglasses might be able to correct the alignment and are mainly used in patients with uncorrected refractive errors. 

Although it is impossible to prevent, strabismus can be treated. With the help of an ophthalmologist and if diagnosed in time, being proactive about treatment can prevent vision loss and even correct the misaligned eye.

Folding reading glasses can fit snugly in your pocket. Learn more about them and check out some of our recommendations for the best pairs.

Folding reading glasses merge the convenience of folding glasses and the benefits of reading glasses. Let’s take a deeper look into how they make our lives easier.

Folding glasses are designed to fold in half at the nose bridge for convenient storing. If you have small bags or are looking to keep your glasses in your car, then foldable glasses are a great option. Foldable glasses also make for a great pair of backups.

No one wants to drag around two pairs of glasses in case something happens to their original pair. However, with a pair of foldable glasses, being extra cautious is no longer an inconvenience. You can be sure that you are always prepared without dealing with your second pair taking up extra space.

Reading glasses can help the wearer to see or read objects in close range such as small text, mobile phones, and computer screens. As one approaches the age of 40, they may develop symptoms of presbyopia. This is when the crystalline lenses in your eyes become less flexible and hence, make you struggle to focus on text up close.

Now, you’ll be able to read small texts and see small objects without having to squint or feel self-conscious in social contexts. Folding reading glasses are especially convenient to have around. Often, those who wear reading glasses don’t wear them all the time.

Typically, cheap reading glasses are used for reading small print or text on the computer. Whether you wear traditional reading glasses or computer reading glasses, you could benefit from having a conveniently transportable pair. After all, you never know when you might need them.

Who needs folding reading glasses?

Those who don’t need to wear reading glasses for an extended period of time. Say you’re traveling and are reading maps, restaurant menus, or tour guides, but struggle to just read the small text.

Folding reading glasses come to the rescue as they’re sleek enough to slide into your pocket, backpack, or purse. Just use them when you need them and put them back.

Those who feel self-conscious wearing glasses. If you are one of those people who need glasses only to see particular things-such as text up close, or distant objects, but don’t like to wear contact lenses, and will go at any lengths to avoid wearing them, folding reading glasses are for you.

So, just take out your folding reading glasses from your pocket or clutch, elegantly slide them on your face, use them for the few minutes that they’re needed, and hide them again as if nothing happened.

Presbyopic patients with busy lifestyles. If you have presbyopic symptoms, you most likely need reading glasses in certain situations. Now, if you lead a busy lifestyle where you are caught unaware in need of reading glasses and you’re not carrying around a bulky case at that moment, we’ve got you.

With folding reading glasses, you can conveniently always have your mini reading glasses at your disposal in your pocket or clutch. They’re lightweight, barely take up space and save you from the hassle of having to depend on your friend’s pair of glasses or asking someone to read things out to you.

With foldable reading glasses, you don’t have to carry around a bulky case just for reading a menu at a restaurant or reading a text from your phone screen. You want to be able to pop your glasses on and off without having the carry-around hassle.

That’s where folding reading glasses come in. They are easily considered the best reading glasses by some simply for their practicality. After all, the whole point of over-the-counter reading glasses is that they’re a convenient alternative to prescription glasses.

What strength reading glasses do you need?

Since presbyopia is of a progressive nature, we suggest starting out with low powered reading glasses for patients in their 40s and high powered lenses for those in their 60’s. Glasses with +1.00 power are considered to be of low strength and have relatively lesser magnification, whilst those with +3.50 are considered to be high power lenses.

If you’ll be using reading glasses primarily while using the computer, we advise choosing a lower reading glass power. A lower reading glass power is used when the viewing distance is longer.

In contrast, if you’ll be using reading glasses to see objects that are very close or very small, you’ll need stronger strength lenses with higher magnification than what the age-based reading glasses power chart would recommend.

Generally speaking, if there are two reading glasses between which you can’t choose, it’s better to select the ones with lower power because more often than not, reading glasses that are too strong may cause more discomfort than the weaker powered ones.

DID YOU KNOW?

Reading glasses aren’t the only type available with foldable frames, you can also get folding sunglasses and other prescription models.

Prescription folding reading glasses

While it might be convenient to purchase over-the-counter reading glasses, there are some advantages to getting a prescription for your reading glasses. The main reason for this being that your eyes might need different corrections, which can only be done with a prescription from your eye doctor.

Which Glasses Are Best for Single Vision?

Ask our dispensing opticians

Single vision glasses have the same prescription across the entire lens. Here we outline how they compare to multifocal lenses.

Single vision glasses are very widely-used glasses. They’re called single vision because there is only one prescription across the lens – as opposed to something like bifocals, where one lens has different areas that allow the wearer to see differently close-up or further away.

What are single vision lenses?

Single vision lenses are the most popular type of prescription lenses. They’re commonly used by near- or far-sighted users and those with astigmatism to help see at a distance of up to 30 feet. They can also be helpful with common daily activities such as reading, using a computer or driving.

If you wear prescription glasses, they most likely have single vision lenses. The statistics also suggest that under-40s are more likely to wear single vision glasses too, as younger people often have only one prescription.

At SmartBuyGlasses, there is an enormous range of low-priced eyewear and designer glasses specifically catered to these types of prescriptions. Click here to find out more.

What does single vision mean?

The term ‘single vision’ is as simple as it sounds. Both of your eyes work the same way – in a single unit, if you will. A prescription for someone with single vision will be the same in both eyes – which makes it really easy to pick up prescription glasses right off the bat.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bifocals were invented by former US President benjamin Franklin, who created them when his single vision lenses were no longer enough to correct his vision.

Does pupillary distance matter with single vision glasses?

Pupillary distance is extremely important when fitting any kind of glasses – including single vision glasses. This is because all lenses are designed to have an optical center which is intended to align precisely with your pupil.

If the measurement is not correct, this optical center will still be in the middle of the lens, but it won’t align with your specific pupil.

Instead, you’ll be looking through a different part of the lens. This can affect your ability to focus correctly which, in turn, can lead to headaches, tired eyes, blurred or double vision, dizziness and nausea.

Single vision vs. progressive lenses

While single vision lenses are designed for one field of vision, progressive lenses are defined as follows:

Progressive lenses correct multiple vision requirements in one piece of glass. Therefore, one pair of glasses can be used for correcting your distance, intermediate, and near sighted requirements.

In real terms, this means the top of the lens is adapted for distance vision, and gradually diminishes in power towards the bottom, which is designed for reading or other “close up” tasks, like checking a price tag or using your smartphone.

When it comes to the aforementioned smartphone usage (with single vision or progressive lenses), studies from institutions like the universities of Houston and Harvard suggest that blue light blocking lenses (such as those from zFORT®) can alleviate some of the eye strain that blue-tinted screen glow can cause.

When combined with a prescription, blue light glasses can be a really effective all-in-one eyewear solution.

Single vision vs. bifocals

Bifocals are glasses with lenses split between two prescriptions – for example, one half will be adjusted for long-range vision, and the other will be adjusted for short-range vision. Bifocals are easy to spot because they have a line dividing the lens in two; progressive lenses are another matter entirely.

They handle this prescription difference more subtly and almost ‘blur’ the line between the two sections of lens. If you’re interested in finding out more, check out this article about the difference between progressive and bifocal lenses.

How much do single vision lenses cost?

At SmartBuyGlasses, single vision lenses are more affordable than ever. With designer frames for great prices, or the incredibly good-value SmartBuy Collection, there has never been a better time to get your hands on a solid pair of glasses.

Whether you want wild style, or sensibility and middle-of-the-road function, our huge glasses range really does have something for everyone.

How to Deal With Seasonal Allergies and Itchy, Puffy Eyes

Ask now

Ask our dispensing opticians

Ask now
Seasonal allergies, or "hay fever" often causes eye irritation. Here's how to get some relief.

Seasonal allergies, also known as “hay fever,” are allergies that pop up during certain times of the year, usually due to increased amounts of pollen in the air. Symptoms of hay fever include sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, ear congestion, and watery and puffy eyes.

Wearing a pair of glasses while outdoors, eyedrops, and finding contact lens alternatives could help to prevent some of these symptoms. 

Best sunglasses for hay fever

Having the right pair of glasses could result in hay fever relief. The best sunglasses that you can wear for hay fever treatment are wrap around glasses frames. This is because the wrap-around lens stops pollen from getting into the eyes from all angles.

Another pair of sunglasses that could help with your hay fever allergy are over-sized frames. Over-sized sunglasses cover more surface area, protecting your eyes from pollen and other particles in the air that cause seasonal allergies.

Finally, you might also want to consider titanium-frames if you suffer from allergies. Titanium is a hypo-allergenic metal that will be more delicate on people with sensitive skin. Learn more about the benefits of titanium frames here.

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2021, approximately 81 million people in the U.S. were diagnosed with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever).

What helps contact lens wearers with hay fever?

Sometimes, people may get anti-allergenic eye drops to help protect against seasonal allergies. However, many soft contact lenses don’t allow for this form of hay-fever treatment.

One way to fight this is to consider daily-disposable contact lenses. With daily-disposable lenses you are wearing a fresh pair every day, to ensure no pollen or other harmful substances have remained on your lenses.

Another solution for contact wearers who suffer from hay fever is to switch to prescription sunglasses while outdoors. This will ensure that you are still getting optimal vision while also protecting your eyes from pollen in the air. Read here for more information about prescription sunglasses.

When working or playing sports outdoors

If you have seasonal allergies and work outdoors, especially in the garden, you should consider wearing a pair of safety goggles. Safety goggles are one form of hay-fever treatment that protects your eyes at all angles with a tight seal. Click here to learn more about face shields and safety goggles.

When playing sports outdoors, you should always wear protective sports sunglasses or sports goggles. Sports sunglasses will protect your eyes while outdoors and can also be fit with your prescription to offer optimal vision.

If you suffer from hay fever, always make sure that your sunglasses have a proper UV coating, as sun rays can make symptoms of seasonal allergies worse.

Wedding season is in the air! With not one, not two, but three of  Kourtney Kardashian’s weddings flooding all of our social feeds, we gained some serious eyewear inspiration that you’ll love! So it’s time to get your best looks ready because, who knows, multiple weddings may be the newest trend of 2022. 

Whether you’ll be in a sunny location or want to cover up your watery eyes, your look isn’t complete without a lavishing pair of stylish sunglasses.

We have a pair for women, men, and kids to enjoy any ceremony, no matter the venue. So, mix and match with your other half, or get the whole family looking sharp for the wedding of a lifetime.

Sunny Golden Santa Barbara

Ladies and Gents, here’s the perfect pair to match your significant other. Let’s start with the retro cat-eye  Gucci GG0977S, a spectacular and detailed gold frame. The temples are unique, as they resemble a beautiful chain with two heart pendants embedded with the Gucci logo. It’s like glasses and earrings, all in one! 

Our second pick is this nifty pair of Marc Jacobs MARC sunglasses worthy of an invitation to another Travis and Kourtney wedding. The round gold frame is yet another classic look that will suit angular face shapes. 

Once you’ve made a toast to the lovely new couple and impressed them with your look, jump into your convertible and drive off into the sunset with stylish UV-protected sunglasses! In true Kardashian fashion, everyone will know you’re just trying to live life!

Impersonating a Las Vegas Look

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But lucky for us, Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding and her glam looks were not left behind. 

If you’re bringing this pair of MCQ MQ0326S to Vegas, you’ll for sure want to bring them back with you. Be bold, big, and beautiful through full-rim square frames that show you’re the life of the party both before and after the wedding ceremony.

The frames are also lightweight and durable, so you won’t have to worry about feeling weighed down as you party like the Kardashians in Vegas!

Mamma Mia, You’re in Portofino

The 3rd time is a charm, and so is the final (maybe) location for Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding in Portofino. 

With our LMNT collection, we want to pay homage to some of Kourtney’s looks that feature smaller shaped frames. And who doesn’t love black glasses to suit any outfit? 

You can rock an original cat-eye frame with our LMNT Charile C4 and have fun trying on the various colors available with our Virtual Try-On. Or, opt for a more classic cat-eye with the LMNT Slade C1. The blue lenses are an excellent match for any short or long dress you may wear.

Posh & Porsche

If you’re looking for more sunglasses for weddings, why not take inspiration from another Kardashian sister.

Change up your look with a pair of glasses that come with two different lenses. The Porsche Design P8478 C is a popular go-to for Khloe Kardashian. They’re a great stylish pair made with quality titanium frames to assure comfort even after a long ceremony. 

They’re also great for the after-party look, or the morning after when you could use a bit of help covering up your (probably) tired eyes.

The pilot frame will suit diverse face shapes and complement your facial features. If you need a prescription, check out the range of trendy Porsche Design eyewear or our endless line of prescription sunglasses.

Top Gun Sunglasses That Are Not Classified

Picture of Aurora Gould

Aurora Gould

Aurora is a Digital Marketing Specialist for SmartBuyGlasses. She’s enthusiastic about supporting the marketing efforts across multiple channels. Her goal is to create riveting content that is also educational by bringing to you all the latest eyewear trends.

It’s time to take off with your bomber jackets, cool patches, and white t-shirts because we’re here to inspire you with some Top Gun sunglasses ideas. 

We’ve dug up some classic sunglasses to celebrate a fashion staple that is a symbol for Hollywood and pilots. Ray-Ban aviators were initially designed to improve a pilot’s vision while flying, thanks to the frame design and protective lenses.

So, we’re excited to revisit an iconic frame style with Top Gun Maverick sunglasses, as well as introduce you to some styles that offer a twist on the classics!

At High-Speed With Classic Aviators

We had to include the classic Top Gun Ray-Ban sunglasses with the Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator Large Metal in a gold frame and green lenses.  It’s a classic!  

The thin frame is lightweight and fits comfortably on many face shapes, so get ready to fly high with a cool pair of Ray-Ban Aviators. 

But, if you’re looking for the same classic feel at a more affordable price, you’ll find what you love with our SmartBuy Collection pilot frames! 

This pair of SmartBuy Collection Haven and our range of pilot sunglasses come in quality materials and have UV-protected lenses, in various lens colors too!

Anyone can rock the Tom Cruise Top Gun sunglasses look!

SHOP AVIATORS SUNGLASSES
SHOP PILOT SUNGLASSES

Square Up To Your Next Mission

Time to dust off that ‘80s leather jacket and rock a cool vibe with Kelly McGillis Top Gun sunglasses that feature square pilot frames. 

Why not try a pair of eco-chic pilot glasses from Arise Collective? You’ll look perfectly in character with the Arise Collective Neil in a gunmetal grey.

Find classic pilot glasses in diverse frame designs for an iconic yet fresh look. Even these Ray-Ban RB3530 Highstreet square aviators are as cool as the classic teardrop frame. Want to fly the extra mile? Why not combine the frames with mirrored lenses instead!

So, whether it’s trendy affordable, or designer brands, you’ll be able to get your hands on stylish frames and spread your wings.

Doing It Better And Rounder

In addition to classic aviators and square pilots, we have a range of sleek round pilot sunglasses for men, women, and kids to enjoy. 

If the double nose bridge of pilot frames works well for your wardrobe, then explore all the fun shapes they have to offer. Use our Virtual Try-On for this pair of Ray-Ban RB3647N aviators and tell us you don’t look sharp. 

Or, this pair of SmartBuy Collection Akiva which you can easily buy with your prescription. You won’t need perfect vision to rock our prescription sunglasses or fly high, as long as you’re not the pilot. 

Elite Eyewear

If you love the Top Gun sunglasses inspo but want to rock pilot frames day and night, prepare to take off with quality pilot glasses. 

That’s right! Pilot frames are also available as prescription glasses for every type of prescription you need. 

Go from one mission to another with blue light protection in these Tom Ford FT5627 and change the look with their colorful Havana frames. Blue light glasses are a great way to reduce glare!

Or, opt for clip-on sunglasses in a pilot frame to enjoy the best of both worlds. SmartBuy Collection Pongco offers you up to 4 different clip-on lenses to customize your look and make your arrivals and departures memorable.

We’ll Be Your Wingman or Woman

We know Top Gun is a timeless movie, not just because of the performance, the time, the shirtless scenes… but also the Top Gun aviator sunglasses. 

The particular frame design is a staple accessory of the movie thanks to the fashionable eyewear and its importance as the number one protective sunglasses for pilots. 

However, nowadays, everyone can enjoy the simple yet cool look of wearing Ray-Ban aviators and pilot frames, so let SmartBuyGlasses be your wingman and get you fixed with a Top Gun look. 

We want to see how you’ll channel your inner Tom Cruise with  Top Gun sunglasses, so don’t forget to show us on Instagram by tagging @smartbuyglasses!
