Prescription Sunglasses

UV-protective designer Rx sunglasses.

Overview

Prescription and non-Rx sunglasses from leading brands, engineered to block 100% of UVA and UVB and styled to look great anywhere from Big Sky Country to the back nine.

Montana sun is no joke. Between snow reflection in winter and long summer days on the water or trail, UV exposure is one of the top preventable risk factors for cataracts and macular degeneration.

Great sunglasses are a health investment. We stock designer and sport brands with true UV blocking, polarized options for glare, and full Rx availability so you never have to choose between prescription and protection.

Time to plan

In-store selection takes 20–40 minutes. Rx sunglasses typically ready in 7–10 business days.

Insurance & pricing

Non-Rx sunglasses available at multiple price points. Rx sunglass pricing depends on lens material and coatings, we quote before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Are polarized lenses worth it?

If you drive, fish, ski, or spend time on water or snow, yes. Polarized lenses cut glare in a way regular tinted lenses cannot.

Can I get my prescription in any sunglass frame?

Most frames, yes. We'll check the curvature and your Rx range during your fitting.

Do you carry kids' sunglasses?

Yes. Protecting young eyes from UV damage matters, so we stock durable, flexible frames sized for kids.

What about clip-ons or transitions?

Both are great options. We'll talk through pros and cons based on your lifestyle.
