Prescription Sunglasses

Hi,
I've been told that I should wear my glasses most of the time, so ideally I should be wearing them whilst driving too. As such I'm interested in getting some prescription sunglasses.

I'm interested in buying them online as from looking on this site it sounds like there are some good deals to be had.

What I can't see, and what isn't very clear on the websites I've browsed is can you try the frames before you purchase them and have prescription lenses put into them?

Obviously the best way to see whether a pair of glasses are right for you is to try them on, so if possible I'd like to be able to try on some sunglasses that if I was happy with them I could then get prescriptions put it. I wouldn't want to order with a prescription then find I don't like the look of them.

Thanks

  • check out specsavers website they have a thing where you upload a photo of yourself and then can try various glasses on. Even if you don't get them from here you will get an idea on shape etc. In my opinion though it doesn't really matter for sunglasses it is the strength of the tint that is most important.
