Can you try them on before you buy them? Keep reading for a helpful primer on how to find the perfect pair for you, complete with your choice of non-prescription or prescription lenses.

GETTING YOUR PRESCRIPTION.
Of course, if you’re just looking for a pair of stylish sunglasses without vision correction, you can do that too. In fact, you can even purchase non-prescription eyeglasses as well.
But if you do need prescription glasses or prescription sunglasses, you’ll need to get an updated eyeglasses prescription from an eye doctor. Don’t worry—we have a network of over 38,000 eye doctors who can help. Just use our handy Find a doctor tool to connect with a doctor near you.
Visiting the eye doctor is about more than just getting a new glasses prescription. Your eye doctor can learn a lot about your overall eye health and wellness by looking at your eyes. Even if you don’t have an outdated Rx, you should visit your eye doctor annually.
CHOOSING LENSES.
Once you’ve picked your new frames, it’s time to choose your lens package. We’ve made it easy to match your lifestyle needs with your lenses by offering three simplified lens packages. Of course you can choose to upgrade your lenses, but even the default Silver Package includes polycarbonate lenses (that’s the good stuff!).
Lens packages and enhancements are a great way to customize your sunglasses or eyeglasses. In addition to our standard lens packages, you can choose to upgrade lenses with anti-reflective coatings, blue-light reduction, or photochromic technology.
