What to Look for in Prescription Driving Sunglasses
In addition to all the frames being Rx-able, let's look at which criteria to consider for your driving sunglasses.
Frame Technology
One of the most crucial aspects of sunglasses for driving is a good fit. You need to stay distraction-free when you're on the road, so a properly fitting frame will make sure your hands remain on the wheel — and not fiddling with frame adjustments. Rubber grip keeps your driving sunglasses perfectly in place and adjustable features ensure a custom fit. Lightweight materials are also key in guaranteeing a comfortable ride.
Lens Technology
For lenses, you have room to play with your driving sunglasses. However, there are two main components we recommend: polarization and contrast-enhancement.
Polarization will work to block harsh glare created by other cars, open roads, and bodies of water. By cutting this blinding glare, you'll have a better view of the road ahead.
Contrast-enhancing lenses are your secret ingredient to making details pop. Whether it's potholes, unexpected obstacles, or any other component that could disrupt your smooth ride, contrast-enhancing lenses will make sure you see it before your tires feel it. This is most often found with lenses of the following colors: browns, roses, coppers, and bronzes. For even more lens recommendations, visit our extensive Driving Sunglasses Buyer's Guide!

Let's check out the frames!
Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator
One of the most recognizable sunglasses of all time, the Ray-Ban Aviator is no stranger to being in the driver's seat. Originally designed for American military pilots, Ray-Ban created the Aviator to block harsh glare and bright sun while flying at high altitudes. It was met with groundbreaking success and continues to be an iconic style today.
While you may not be steering a fighter jet, your vision deserves the same level of protection in your Tesla or '99 Accord. The RB3025 Aviator provides pristine optical clarity in a lightweight metal construction that will keep you comfortable for multi-day road trips. Adjustable fit features further enhance comfort by providing a custom fit. Flexible temple tips and maneuverable silicone nose pads can easily be adjusted to fit your unique facial features.
As for Rx-ability, the Ray-Ban Aviator can handle a range of prescriptions with ease. It is available with Ray-Ban Authentic Lenses that are tailor-made to your vision needs and in your favorite lens colors. The best part? It will even feature the signature RB logo!
