What to Look for in Wiley X Prescription Sunglasses
Whether it's enjoying a weekend motorcycle ride down the coast, getting the job done on the construction site, or kicking back with friends as you share a cold one, Wiley X prescription sunglasses promise 20/20 vision for all of life's moments. Let's look at what makes Wiley X eyewear stand out from the crowd and why it's ideal for prescription-wearers.
ANSI-Certification
Wiley X is committed to providing the highest level of protection in any situation. All Wiley prescription sunglasses have passed strict safety testing to meet impact-resistance and optical clarity requirements. Every frame in today's lineup meets ANSI Z87l.1 safety standards, and since they're Rx-able, ANSI Z87-2 safety standards. (The latter safety rating is simply a prescription equivalent to Z87.1.) This ANSI-certification also holds true for their prescription lenses, which will feature the appropriate ANSI markings engraved on the lenses.
Frame Technology
Prescription Wiley X sunglasses are made of Triloid™ nylon, one of the toughest frame materials on the market. These frames are virtually indestructible and can withstand the harshest environments for years to come. Despite the frame's integral strength, Wiley prescription sunglasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear for hours on end. Many styles also feature rubber grip, which enhances comfort while keeping your frames securely in place. A non-slip fit is particularly important for prescriptions since proper optical alignment is crucial in getting the most out of your Rx lenses.
Rx-able Lens Technology
Not only are all Wiley X lenses Rx-able, but all Wiley X sunglasses are available with authentic Wiley X prescription lenses at SportRx. To maintain ANSI standards and optical clarity requirements, Wiley X prescription lenses are cut in their Rx Lab using a Digital Edge Thinning process. This process uses advanced techniques to create lighter and thinner lenses, particularly for high prescriptions and wrap around frames. By combining the wearer's prescription with the specific frame measurements, prescription Wiley X sunglasses boast pristine optics with greater color contrast and distortion-free clarity.
In addition to ANSI-certification and clear optics, all Wiley X prescription sunglasses are available with CAPTIVATE™ lens technology. With seven colors to choose from, Wiley X CAPTIVATE™ lenses reveal more vivid colors and a vibrant visual experience tailored to your environment. You'll also experience more accurate depth perception, which is crucial for safety glasses (or sight fishing anglers who want to catch more fish!).
Best Wiley X Prescription Sunglasses
Now that you understand the ins and outs of Wiley X prescription sunglasses, let's check out the frames!
WX P-17
Kicking off our lineup, we have the ever-popular Wiley X P-17. This frame has been around for over ten years and continues to be a WX favorite for any activity under the sun. It can do it all thanks to performance details, and looks so good — you may never want to take them off. These lightweight 8-base sunglasses deliver all-around coverage in a sleek design. Rectangular lenses and a contoured fit block harsh UV rays and blinding glare, while also being extremely Rx-friendly. You'll experience comfortable vision and a secure fit thanks to the rubber grip along the nose pads and temple tips. If you want even more frame security, slip on the included T-Peg elastic strap or leash cord to keep the WX P-17 on you at all times.

The Wiley X Trek, and all frames in this collection, can accommodate prescriptions up to +6.00 and -10.00. They also all come with removable (or permanent) swivel side shields for extra peripheral protection. For the WX Trek, removable side shields deliver the protection you need when on the job, and easily come out when you're off the clock. Rubber grip enhances comfort and keeps your frames perfectly in place. You can also slip on the optional leash cord to be sure your Wiley prescription sunglasses stay put during any activity.

You'll get the same great look and wrap around design as the original style, but with an Rx adaptor that can better serve your stronger vision needs. Both styles are part of the Wiley X Climate Control Series, which offers a removable Facial Cavity™ Seal in every design. Ideal for blocking out excess wind, dust, and debris, this open-cell foam eyecup creates a comfortable barrier between your eyes and airborne elements. This feature makes the WX Gravity + Adaptor a perfect choice for those who experience chronic dry eye, work in carpentry, or enjoy motorcycle riding. The Facial Cavity™ Seal is also replaceable, so you don't have to invest in a new Rx frame when it's time for another foam gasket.

Perfect for sports and activities that require helmets, the straight-back rubber temples fit seamlessly under headgear and create just the right amount of grip.
