Can you change sunglasses to eyeglasses?

Turning sunglasses into prescription glasses

When a visual impairment is detected, it becomes essential to wear an optical correction.
This visual adjustment can easily be combined with sun protection through your sunglasses.
So here's how to convert your sunglasses into prescription glasses and the benefits of doing so.

How to proceed to change my sunglasses to eyeglasses

When a person has a visual disorder such as nearsightedness or astigmatism, they can have their sunglasses adjusted to their sight.
In case you don't have your own sunglasses yet, you can choose a pair that will be adapted straight away to your sight.
If you already have your own pair of sunglasses, it's usually not too late to turn them into prescription glasses.
Indeed, if your pair of sunglasses is of good quality, your optician will be able to fit corrective lenses to your frame.
This means that you can keep your sunglasses but they will now be adapted to your eyesight.
This adaptation is carried out by a professional optician who will be able to tell you whether your frame is suitable for corrective lenses.
A medical prescription from an ophthalmologist is required for this adjustment.
This prescription is essential to determine your specific visual impairment and to adapt the lenses accordingly.

Why convert my sunglasses to prescription glasses

A person with a visual impairment needs to see clearly at all times, whatever the circumstances.
Therefore, even on sunny days, they need to wear corrective lenses.
However, they also need the UV protection provided by the sunglasses' specific lenses.
By adapting the lenses of the sunglasses to their eyesight, they benefit from both visual clearness and effective sun protection.
In good weather, the person can also drive safely without fear of glare.
The combination of both equipment means that you don't have to carry two pairs or change them according to the weather conditions.
Furthermore, adapting your own pair of sunglasses to your eyesight is both ecological and economical as the same frame is reused.
Do not hesitate to ask your optician for advice on converting your sunglasses to prescription glasses.
