But you'll still want to protect your eyes from the sun's rays. Prescription sunglasses make it easy to do so. The best prescription sunglasses ensure you don't have to wear contact lenses under regular sunglasses or be subject to the sun without any eye protection. To help, we narrowed down the best prescription sunglasses in terms of both style and budget. When creating a custom pair, you have a variety of sunglass lens colors and tints to choose from, as well as options like polarized or mirrored lenses, both of which reduce sun, UV rays and reflection glare. At a minimum, you'll at least want some antiglare coating. Gray, green and brown tints are the most popular. I tend to go with gray but some sites also offer yellow, blue or rose options. You also need to pay attention to the tint density because a higher density blocks out more sunlight. The tint density on non-fashion sunglasses tends to range from 50% to 80%. You can also get gradient tints that offer more density in different parts of the lens. Best overall prescription sunglassesOur top pick for this roundup of prescription glasses is Warby Parker. Besides affordability, Warby Parker offers a wide array of stylish sunglasses that you can customize to your needs. It also has a great app that helps you see how your sunglasses will look on you.Best prescription sunglasses of 2025 Photo Gallery 1/1 See at Warby Parker Pros High quality Convenient iPhone app Some cities have Warby Parker brick-and-mortar stores Online vision test Cons Pricier than some competitors Turnaround time 7 to 10 days (expedited shipping available for extra fee)Features offered Polycarbonate, anti-scratch, UV protection, anti-glare (polarized)Prescription option YesVirtual Try-On Yes, as well as home try-on for five framesReturn policy 30-day free exchange or return policyInsurance accepted Accepts certain vision insurance plans See at Warby Parker Several CNET editors have bought their glasses from Warby Parker, which has a good selection of sharp-looking eyeglass frames. While glasses start at only $95 with a single-vision prescription, chances are you're going to pay a bit more based on the type of frame options you choose, your prescription and the type of eyeglass lenses. For example, progressive lenses start at $295. Prescription sunglasses start at $195, jumping to $395 if you need precision lenses. Based on my and my co-workers' experience, the finished products tend to be a step up from what more budget-oriented sites offer.Notable site features:The company'sappallows you to search the site by frame size and to try on various frames virtually (it works surprisingly well) and better yet, you can try up to five frames at home for five days for free. Once your five days are up, you place your box in the mail with the prepaid return label. Hopefully, you find at least one style that you like from among the five you picked for the home trial. There's also a $15 online virtual vision test to renew outdated prescriptions. (Based on the test, you may not be eligible.)Shipping times:According to Warby: "Single vision glasses take seven to 10 business days to reach you from the time we have all of your order information. Sunglasses and progressives take 10 to 12 business days to reach you." (These estimates jive with the experience of CNET editors who have used the service; my pair arrived in six business days.) You can pay more for expedited shipping. See at Knockaround Knockaround doesn't have a prescription service, but it sells regular sunglasses, including polarized and mirrored coating for $28. They're not premium glasses obviously, but the lenses are pretty decent and the glasses look more expensive than their low price would indicate. These designer sunglasses also seem pretty durable. Several different styles, colors and lens options are available. These are the glasses to get if you don't want to worry about losing your sunglasses.Notable site features: A design-your-own feature lets you take sunglass frames and customize the colors of each part of the frame (each arm can be a different color, for example) and lens options.Shipping times:About five to seven days, although custom orders can take up to 12 days.
