Can Prescription Lenses Be Added to Sunglasses?

Sunglasses can add style and flair to any outfit, but it’s not just about looking effortlessly cool. You can step-up your eyewear game with prescription sunglasses to help you see clearly while leveling-up your OOTD. Whether you want them for pool daze or weekend getaways, our prescription sunnies have you covered. Read-on for everything you need to know about them and how to get your very own pair.

Can You Get Prescription Sunglasses? 

Many people wear prescription glasses or contacts, but our prescription sunnies offer the best of both worlds: crystal-clear vision and UVA/UVB protection in head-turning styles. If you’re someone who wears prescription glasses, it’s worth investing in your sunnies, too. Those who are nearsighted or farsighted find prescription sunglasses especially helpful when it comes to driving and walking outside during peak sunlight hours.

How to Get Prescription Sunglasses at QUAY

Keep it cute in sunny weather. The prescription sunglass frames you can grab at QUAY include a variety of shapes so you can get the styles you love. Stay true to your vibe in all the shapes, including aviator, square, shield, round, cat eye, geometric and rectangle.

Can you put prescription lenses in any frame? 

But what if you already have a pair of QUAY sunnies you know and love? Our prescription sunglasses are a complete package with the frames and lenses, but your optometrist may be able to fit your QUAYs with the right prescription lenses. 

In most cases, regular sunnies can be converted into prescription fits by replacing the lenses with new prescription ones. Keep in mind some lens manufacturers may not be able to rework certain silhouettes into prescription shades, like wraparound styles.


Protect your eyes, keep your vision on-point and look effortlessly cool in QUAY prescription sunglasses. Wherever your days take you, combine style function with QUAYRx. With Afterpay, you can buy now and pay in four equal installments later.
