If you wear glasses, you might be familiar with how hard it is to find actually cool prescription sunglasses. The good news is that while past iterations of transition lenses or clip-on shades may have been considered decidedly un-chic, today’s offerings are much more good-looking.
In our quest to find the very best sunglasses for glasses wearers, we found a few standout pairs, from fit-over sunglasses that pop right over your regular frames — but don’t look like you just walked out of the eye doctor’s office — to transition lenses that one editor swears inspire compliments everywhere she goes.
