As well as being a fashion accessory, sunglasses are essential for protecting your eyes from UV rays.
If you have a visual problem, it's a good idea to have a pair of sunglasses specially adapted to your eyesight.
Here's the process for getting prescription sunglasses from your optician.
As with conventional eyewear, you need a prescription to obtain corrective sunglasses.
It is therefore essential to have an ophthalmological consultation beforehand.
During this medical appointment, the ophthalmologist will carry out specific optical tests.
This enables the professional to determine precisely your visual acuity and the correction you need.
This information is then recorded on a prescription to be given to your optician.
Without this document, the professional cannot issue a pair of prescription sunglasses to the patient.
However, even when the sunglasses are prescription ones, they are essentially at the expense of the purchaser.
Only the presence of an eye disease or advanced photophobia can justify a financial coverage of your sunglasses.
Once you have your prescription, you can go to your optician to choose your pair of prescription sunglasses.
The professional can help you choose the frame that best suits your facial morphology.
The tint of the lenses should also be chosen, again with the advice of your optician.
Once the pair has been determined, the optician can use the information on your prescription to fit the sunglass lenses to your sight.
This usually takes a few days, after which you are invited to come and collect them.
The same process can also be carried out online on our website, by entering your prescription.
The pair of prescription sunglasses is then tried on virtually, adjusted to your eyesight and sent to your home once ready.
