THE FEATURES AND DISADVANTAGES OF OTHER SUNWEAR OPTIONS DESIGNED TO FIT OVER GLASSES:
PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES
Many stylish designs
Often high priced
Forced to switch between sunglasses and regular glasses
Easy to lose or break during outdoor activities
Usually not wrap-around styling which allows light in from above and side of the frames
Not all lenses are polarized
Not all lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection
Many receive the wrong Rx when ordering cheap options online
PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES
Often high priced alternative
Typically no wrap-around styling which does not provide complete sun coverage
Does not offer polarized protection
Does not always provide 100% UVA/UVB protection
Photochromatic lenses will not darken while in a car as the windshield blocks UV light needed to darken the lenses
Lenses will stay a little too dark once leaving light, or without even going into bright light
CLIP-ONS / FLIP-UPS
Sometimes difficult to find the perfect fit for your Rx eyeglasses
Basic, limited styling—not as fashionable or offered in as many styles as Jonathan Paul Fitovers
Often easily lost or broken
An affordable alternative to Rx sunglasses
Typically made from lower quality materials
No wrap-around styling—only provide coverage of harmful UV rays from the front
Sometimes scratch the prescription lenses underneath
Clip-ons and Photochromic lenses miss out on our most important feature — Fitovers Eyewear frames mimic the look of regular sunglasses so it appears that you’re just wearing sunglasses, without the high price of prescription sunglasses!
Feel comfortable and look great at the same time while buying an affordable option to prescription sunglasses.
