Have you heard you can't get prescription sunglasses for this or that reason? Well, we've got news for you: you CAN. These are the top 5 misconceptions about prescription sunglasses—prescription sport sunglasses in particular.

1. YES, you can get prescription sunglasses with bifocals.

→You might think options for prescription sunglasses are more limited, but they're not! With prescription sunglasses, you can get most of the same perks as regular eyeglasses, including bifocals.

2. YES, you can get prescription sunglasses in progressives.

→Need a full progressive? No problem. At SportRx, we only use top-of-the-line digital progressives, meaning the quality is better and the intermediate section is wider.

3. YES, you can get polarized prescription sunglasseswith a bifocal or progressive.

→Since a polarized filter is applied as a film over the lens, it doesn't affect the prescription of the lens itself.

4. YES, you can get prescription wraparound sunglasses.

→It gets trickier with a higher Rx due to how the edge of the lens curves, but if anyone can do it, it’s us. So if you need a sports wrap, check with us. We’ll find a solution for you.

5. YES, you can get custom mirror colors in prescription sunglasses.

→Mirrored lenses are great for preventing eye strain, and you can still get them with your prescription sunglasses. Similarly to polarized sunglasses, mirrored sunglasses are made by applying a coating to the lens, and thus don't affect the actual prescription.

If you want all of the above, i.e. progressive, polarized, wraparound sunglasses with a colored mirror coating, we've got a great place for you to start.
