How To Guide
Browse or Search for Frame Styles
Start shopping for women’s sunglasses online by browsing frames by activity, brand or shape. Factoring in your lifestyle and face shape can be helpful for narrowing down all of the eyewear styles that are available to the best prescription or non-prescription sunglasses.
In general, you should seek out frames that contrast with your face shape. Square or rectangular frames flatter round face shapes. Round or oval frames are better choices for wearers who have angular faces. People who have oval-shaped faces may want to consider geometric frames.
Check Frame Measurements and Features
The measurements of a pair of frames can help you determine whether sunglasses you see online will fit your face. Check the width of a pair of frames and components such as the bridge and lenses. Temple length and lens height will also affect your comfort level in sunglasses.
Frame features may also affect the quality of the fit. The design of nose pads and temples is significant, especially for sports sunglasses. You may also want to seek out frames rated to provide eye protection during active wear.
Customize Womens Prescription Sunglasses
When you find a pair of prescription sunglasses that is the right size based on facial measurements or comparison to other frames, such as your eyeglasses, getting the lenses you need is the last step. You can find prescription-ready frames that accommodate single vision, bifocal or progressive lenses in your choice of finishes and tint colors.
Rx-able sunglasses frames may accommodate a wide range of prescriptions. Some styles specify limited measurements, while others indicate compatibility with high-Rx prescriptions. Full-frames are more likely to be compatible with multifocal and progressive lenses, while half-frames may have limited lens support.
The best sunglasses provide eye protection from ultraviolet light. For the best fit, consider the size and intended use of sunglasses. Make sure to choose frames that accommodate your prescription and flatter your face.
