Clip-on Glasses - Frequently Asked Questions
Clip-on glasses are prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses that allow you to use sunglasses over your frames. A small magnet in the sunglasses’ frame seamlessly clips to your glasses.
The main difference between a standard pair of sunglasses and clip-on sunglasses is that the latter does not have temples - it’s just the front part of the frame.
But all the main functions remain the same:
1. Clip-on glasses help correct your eyesight with any prescription, even progressive lenses
2. The clip-on sunglasses have UV protection
There are different types of clip-on sunglasses that you can put over your prescription glasses:
• Magnetic clip-ons
• Standard clip-ons
• Flip-up clip-ons
So, depending on your preference, you can choose which type of clip-on glasses you want to combine with your sunglasses. At SmartBuyGlasses you’ll find what you love through great pairs of clip-on glasses that the whole family can enjoy!
But are you wondering if the magnetic clip-on glasses are safe to wear? Let’s find out!
There is no straightforward answer to whether or not magnetic clip-on glasses are safe. Nevertheless, there are no negative facts that indicate they’re harmful to our health.
The magnet in the frame is very small and should not cause any damage.
However, you should choose to protect your eyesight with quality lenses and coatings.
• Blue light clip-on glasses help protect your eyes from harmful blue light both in and out of the office
• You can also add extra lens coatings such as anti-scratch coatings to clip-ons
• Clip-on sunglasses for glasses can have diverse lens tints with quality UV protection such as mirrored lenses
