BUYING PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES ONLINE? READ THESE TIPS FIRST (PART 2)

In the last post, we discussed some basic tips to keep in mind when shopping for online prescription sunglasses. However, knowing the full range of features to keep in mind during your shopping process can help you make the best choice. Here's part two of our guide that will explore some more tips to keep in mind when shopping for affordable prescription sunglasses online.

CONSIDER ADDITIONAL FEATURES

It may not seem like it, but the surprising truth is that sometimes we're all a bit clumsy: every 14 minutes, an American loses, breaks or sits on a pair of sunglasses. That being said, it's definitely a good idea to at least consider looking into any additional features available designed to make your glasses studier and more resistant to damage. REKS.com manufactures unbreakable sunglasses that can flex in all directions, but will always return to their original shape. Shatter resistant lenses can hold up much better when undergoing the same amount of wear and tear, making them an ideal choice if you're looking for sturdy sunglasses for boating or fishing.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT DESIGNER BRANDS

There's been a lot of talk in both the athletic and fashion communities regarding some of the bigger names in protective eyewear. And the fact is, just one Luxury Goods Company produces 75% of the world’s designer sunglasses. Labels such as Chanel, Burberry, and Ralph Lauren are all designed and made by Italian company Luxottica and they also own Oakley and Ray-ban brands. With this in mind, you shouldn't feel the need to buy one of these names just because of their reputation. Base your purchasing decisions on quality and style.

USE YOUR RESOURCES

Finally, it's important to use your resources when purchasing new glasses, especially when shopping online. Any existing glasses you can use as a reference can easily be used to determine your sizing and fit, saving time and effort down the line. Of course, if there's something wrong with your existing glasses, you can use them as a guide as to

what not to get. Ultimately, understanding these tips can help you purchase online prescription sunglasses that will best meet your athletic and stylistic needs. For more information about safety sunglasses, contact REKS.com.
