Hi,

Could anyone please tell me what 'prescription sunglasses' is? What does it look like? Is it used to help the short-sighted eyes? or is it just a regular sunglasses? I surfed the internet and found one article about prescription sunglasses but after reading it, I still have no idea what that is, because it didn't define what it is. I'd appreciate it if you can help me out with that. Thanks.

Thank you, nef. So prescription sunglasses can be sunglasses to keep the sunlight from eyes, or sunglasses used to protect eyes in medication? you mean.

Those of us who are short-sighted or long-sighted need glasses which have 'prescription' lenses. These lenses are specially made for each individual.The 'prescription' is made by the optician when he tests your eye-sight.

Normally sunglasses only have darkened lenses. They are not specially made for each individual. Anyone can wear them.

'Prescription' sunglasses have not only darkened lenses but also the lenses are individually made for each person depending on whether they are long-sighted or short-sighted.
