You’ve probably squinted through a sunny school pickup line or juggled regular sunglasses over your regular glasses at the beach. Not exactly ideal. If you’re tired of switching back and forth or missing out on UV protection altogether, it might be time to consider prescription sunglasses.
At Navigation Eye Care in Chesapeake, we help families find stylish, functional sunglasses that correct vision, protect from the sun, and make life a little easier—because you’ve already got enough to juggle.
Why Prescription Sunglasses Are Worth It
If you wear glasses, you already know that regular sunglasses don’t cut it. Either you’re squinting in the sun or dealing with awkward layering. That’s where prescription sunglasses step in.
Here are a few big benefits:
- Clear, sharp vision outdoors without switching glasses
- UV protection for your eyes to help prevent cataracts and eye disease
- Comfort and convenience during everyday activities, travel, and play
- Style options that fit your personality (and your face)
- Better eye health for the whole family, including kids and teens
Plus, you’ll be surprised how much more relaxed you feel when you’re not squinting all day. Your eyes, your mood, and even your wrinkles will thank you.
How to Choose the Right Style for You
Let’s be real. You want them to work—but you also want them to look good. At Navigation Eye Care, our optical team makes it easy to find prescription sunglasses that check all your boxes.
Consider the following:
- Face shape – Certain frames flatter round, square, or heart-shaped faces differently
- Lens color – Gray, brown, and green each offer different advantages based on lighting and glare
- Activity level – Think wraparound styles for sports or polarized lenses for driving
- Materials – Lightweight options are great for all-day wear, especially during family outings or long drives
We’ll walk you through all the choices so you feel confident about what you’re getting—not just visually, but stylistically too.
Smart Ways to Afford the Upgrade
Worried about cost? We get it. But the good news is, prescription sunglasses are more affordable than most people think—and there are ways to make it even easier.
Here’s how we help:
- Insurance benefits – Many plans include frame and lens allowances that apply to sunglasses
- Use your FSA/HSA – Prescription eyewear is an eligible expense
- Special packages and deals – Ask us about our current promotions for second pairs or sunwear
- Financing options – We can help you budget without compromising quality or safety
It’s a small investment that pays off in clearer vision, better eye health, and a lot less squinting.
