Progressive Sunglasses Made Simple (So You Can Choose the Right Pair)

Prescription sunnies that don’t force you to choose between distance and reading.

  • Progressive sunglasses made to your prescription
  • Near, mid and far vision in one pair (no swapping)
  • Great for driving, travel days, and being outdoors
  • Simple online ordering with PD support
  • Want a defined reading segment instead? Compare with bifocals below
  • In-person help where available via Find a store

Do the next step: Build yours

Why Progressive Sunglasses?

Because the sun doesn’t stop you needing to read.

Outdoor life is full of small moments where you need near vision: checking your phone, reading a menu, looking at tickets, scanning labels, finding directions—while still needing distance clarity for walking around and driving.

Progressive sunglasses give you:

  • Distance clarity for the road and general outdoors
  • Helpful mid-range for dashboards and quick “arm’s length” tasks
  • Near vision for reading on the go
  • One pair you can keep on, instead of juggling sunglasses + readers

Do the next step: shop Progressive Sunglasses and choose your frames.

Progressive Sunglasses vs Bifocal Lenses

Smooth blend vs a defined “reading window.”

Progressives blend across distances with no visible segment line, which is why they suit mixed outdoor use—look far, glance mid-range, read up close.

Bifocals are more defined. They typically have a visible reading segment. Some people prefer that clear separation, especially if they want a strong, obvious near zone.

If you prefer that distinct reading segment feel, explore bifocal lenses as an alternative.

What Progressive Sunglasses Do

One pair for bright days. Multiple distances covered.

  • Distance: walking, outdoor sport, driving
  • Mid-range: dashboard, café counter, shopping aisles
  • Near: phone, menus, tickets, labels

They look like normal sunglasses—there’s no visible line—but the “multi-distance” design is built into the lens.

A small heads-up: it’s normal to notice mild blur toward the outer edges at first. Most people adapt within days to a couple of weeks, especially with consistent wear.

Progressive Sunglasses for Driving

Road clarity plus dashboard checks—without swapping glasses.
If driving is the main reason you want Progressive sunglasses, focus on:

  • Stable distance clarity
  • Comfortable mid-range for the dash
  • A frame fit that doesn’t slide (lens zones rely on position)

If it’s your first time, start with shorter drives and everyday errands before a long trip. Your eyes settle faster when you wear them consistently.
