Sunglasses for big heads are, well—big. So it’s important to make sure they’re made of the right materials. The frames in our collection are all made of durable, lightweight materials like TR90 nylon for flexible, comfortable use. We select frames with quality construction that are built to last under vigorous activity and extended wear.
Whether you’re looking for something ANSI-rated, or you need a frame that can hold up for hours in the sun while you’re reeling in a catch, we have frames for every endeavor on your list. From classic wayfarers to super sporty high-performance shades, you’ll find it all here at SportRx!
We specialize in prescription, and the vast majority of our XL sunglasses are prescription-ready. As opticians, we understand the science behind fitting your favorite frames with Rx lenses. Our selection includes a range of styles and base curvatures to accommodate different prescription types.
Because of their size, there are a few points to consider when looking for prescription sunglasses for big heads. Bigger sunglasses can sometimes make it tricky to accommodate corrective lenses, depending on the Rx and the frame’s base curvature. For the most part, frames that are flatter in the front—or that have a lower base curvature—are better for prescription lenses.
Prescription lenses can also be on the thicker side for XL sunglasses. However, SportRx offers High Index lens materials to help offset thickness and provide a more aesthetically-pleasing look for higher prescriptions. Digital Maxview cutting and edging makes sure your prescription is perfectly centered for optimal clarity, no matter how large your lenses are. We can also help you choose a frame to complement your lenses. If you wear a strong prescription, fret not! We’ll make sure you feel confident in your new sunglasses.
If you’re not sure where to start, reach out to us! We welcome your questions and are happy to help guide you through your search.
While you could order your XL prescription sunglasses from any retailer online, only SportRx is staffed with ABO-certified Sports Opticians that live and breathe all things optics. Several of our Sports Opticians also require sunglasses for big heads! Not only can they add expert insight to your search, they’ve worked with dozens of brands and have a strong grasp on size ranges. This is super important when it comes to shopping for XL sunglasses online, since there isn’t currently a universal sizing system.
SportRx offers the most customized shopping experience you’ll find. We match you with the right frame based on your visual needs, style preferences, and activity type. Our Sports Opticians work tirelessly to determine your frame size, and go to great lengths so you are completely satisfied with your new sunglasses.
That brings us to our See Better Guarantee. Try your XL sunglasses for up to 45 days, and if you don’t love them—simply let us know and we’ll set up an exchange for a new pair or refund you in full. We even cover standard US shipping both ways! You’ll never have to worry about being stuck with a pair of sunglasses you aren’t thrilled about.
