Understanding Clip On Flip Up Sunglasses

These sun spectacles are glasses which do not have a full frame, made up of only the 2 lenses and in order to wear these, you need other glasses with full frames in order to be able to clip the lenses onto your frames. In most instances these eye wear are worn by people who already wear prescription glasses. The clip on flip up sunglasses are then just clipped on as and when they are needed and then either flipped up or completely removed when they are no longer in use.

Just a while ago, these items were considered to be not so popular or attractive and not at all a funky or trendy fashion item. It was seen mostly worn by the elderly and tourists as a pure functional item to protect their eyes from the sun. They are now available in a wide range of styles, types and colours which makes them high fashion items.

Not only do they come in many different shapes, styles and colours to make sure you are always looking your best, they are also very affordable and is suited to meet even the lowest of budgets. For those individuals who already have the expense of prescription sunglasses, this is a more affordable alternative than having to invest in full prescription sun protection eye wear as well.

Besides making a fashion statement, we all look for good eye protection as well, and these types of eye wear do not compromise on protection either. Like with full glasses they provide 100 percent protection against the harmful UV rays from the sun, and they are durable, light weight ad take up minimal space, yet they are sturdy and made to last. The hinges make it easy to flip the clip on sunglasses up or down, as required, or even completely remove them.

It is also more convenient to just lift the glasses than having to remove glasses completely, especially if one moves outdoors and indoors often during the day. Many delivery people or people working outdoors invest in these as a matter of convenience while performing daily tasks and simply lifting them when they need to interact with the public.

For those who have the funds and can afford to have a set custom made for them especially, do have the option to do so, but of course, as with anything that is customer made, these are more expensive as they are made according to your personal prescription glasses and the lenses would then match that of your prescription glasses exactly.

They come in many shade and shapes and styles, thus you can invest in more than a single pair, keeping up with fashion trends as well.

These clip on flip up sunglasses are a really great innovation and is a very convenient and cost effective option for many people wearing prescription glasses already, especially since health insurance usually does not cover prescription sunglasses at all, this is a great option, allowing you still to have the latest designs in sun protection eye wear.
