Do you spend long hours working on a computer? Then a lightweight acetate frame could be perfect for you.

Can I wear hipster sunglasses with prescription lenses?
Yes, you can definitely wear hipster sunglasses with prescription lenses.
In the past, you had to wear your prescription glasses with a clip-on attachment to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. However, with years of optical design, product experience, and improvement, modern hipster prescription sunglass frames are nearly the same as regular eyeglasses.
Prescription sunglasses are available in all lens materials, but there is a limited prescription range if the frame curve is high, and the size is large. Two choices are offered below:
- The prescription is weak (less than 4.00): You can choose most of the larger sunglass frames. Think cool, bigger lenses, with high-curve frames.
- The prescription is strong (more than 4.00 and with astigmatic values): We recommend choosing a regular optical frame with a smaller size lens. Think more of a flat curve, seen in a lot of our modern, stylish models.
