Here are some of the key advantages of using motocross goggles:

  1. Eye Protection: One of the primary purposes of motocross goggles is to protect your eyes from flying debris, dirt, rocks, insects, and other potential hazards that can be encountered while riding off-road. These goggles are designed to create a barrier between your eyes and the elements, preventing eye injuries.
  2. Dust and Debris Protection: Off-road environments can be quite dusty and filled with debris, especially if you're riding on dirt tracks or trails. Motocross goggles feature a snug fit and often include foam padding around the edges to block out dust, sand, and other particles that could irritate your eyes.
  3. Wind Protection: High speeds and turbulent winds can cause discomfort and dryness in your eyes. Motocross goggles are designed to reduce the impact of wind on your eyes, helping to maintain moisture and reduce the risk of eye strain.
  4. UV Protection: Many motocross goggles come with lenses that offer UV protection. This is important because prolonged exposure to UV rays can be harmful to your eyes and vision. UV-protective lenses help shield your eyes from these harmful rays, particularly when riding in sunny conditions.
  5. Clear Vision: Motocross goggles often come with anti-fog coatings and ventilation systems that help prevent the lenses from fogging up due to temperature changes and humidity. This ensures clear vision throughout your ride, even in varying weather conditions.
  6. Enhanced Vision: Some motocross goggles come with tinted or mirrored lenses that help reduce glare from the sun and provide enhanced visibility in different lighting conditions. Tinted lenses can also be beneficial when riding in bright sunlight.
  7. Impact Resistance: Motocross goggles are designed to withstand impacts from debris and other objects that might be kicked up while riding. The lenses are usually made from durable materials that offer impact resistance, protecting your eyes from potential harm.
  8. Secure Fit: Motocross goggles typically feature an adjustable strap that helps keep them securely in place while you're riding. This ensures that the goggles won't shift or fall off during the course of your ride.
  9. Style and Branding: Many motocross goggles are available in various styles, colors, and designs, allowing riders to express their personal preferences and match their gear to their overall look.

In summary, motocross goggles provide essential protection for your eyes in off-road and high-speed environments. They shield against debris, dust, wind, UV rays, and potential impacts, while also offering features like anti-fog coatings and enhanced visibility options. Using proper protective eyewear like motocross goggles is crucial for maintaining your safety and comfort while enjoying off-road activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I order prescription sunglasses online?

Pick a frame, choose "Add Prescription", select your lens options, and enter or upload your prescription. If you don't have PD (pupillary distance), we'll help you measure it with our online measuring tool.

What do I need to order prescription sunglasses?

You'll need a current prescription from your eye doctor (typically valid for 1-2 years), your pupillary distance (PD), and to choose your preferred frame style. If you don't have your PD measurement, we have an online measuring device you can use while placing your order.

How to read and understand your prescription?

The eyeglass prescriptions are typically written in a grid with scientific terms, abbreviations, and numbers. Remember, the further the numbers are from zero, the more correction you need. A+ symbolizes farsightedness and, A- which represents nearsightedness. Other abbreviations are:

  • OD – Oculus Dexter, which means right eye.
  • OS – Oculus Sinister, which means left eye.
  • SPH (Sphere) – Eyeglass prescription power.
  • CYL (Cylinder) – Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of the eye.
  • AXIS – Degree and direction of your astigmatism need correction.
    (Cylinder and Axis go together as this is the corrections for your astigmatism)
  • ADD – Add Power is the magnifying power in the lower part of a multi-focal lens. (ADD power is not needed for single vision distance eyewear.)

What is PD (Pupillary Distance) and why is it important?

PD stands for Pupillary Distance. It is the distance between your pupils which is measured in millimeters. It is needed to input your prescription accurately. This measurement is used to align the optical center of each lens with your pupils to provide the best possible visual clarity. In general, PD measurements fall in the range of 48mm to 73mm. The most common measurements are between 58mm and 68mm. If your PD isn't listed on your prescription, we have a online tool you can use to measure it while checking out.

What prescriptions can you make? Are there limits?

We offer single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses with premium materials like Trivex, polycarbonate, and high-index, plus options for polarized, photochromic, mirrored, and custom tints. We use advanced digital surfacing for ultra-precise optics and can handle a wide range of prescriptions.

How much do prescription sunglasses cost?

Prescription sunglass prices vary depending on frame choice, lens material, coatings, and prescription complexity. Basic prescription lenses start at $50, while premium frames with advanced lens technologies and coatings cost more. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific needs.

Frame Selection & Fitting

What factors to keep in mind when buying prescription sunglasses?

Think about how and where you’ll be using them—driving, sports, everyday wear, or bright outdoor environments. Consider the level of sun exposure, your need for glare reduction, and whether you’ll be switching between glasses often. Make sure the frame fits comfortably and offers enough lens coverage for sun protection. Choosing the right style depends on both function and lifestyle.

Which frames work well with your prescription?

The best frames for your prescription depend on your lens strength and intended use. Higher prescriptions often work better in smaller or rounder frames to reduce lens thickness and distortion. Wraparound styles are great for sports but may have limits for strong prescriptions—Trivex lenses can help in those cases. For progressives, deeper frames offer more room for the full lens design. We can help match your prescription to frames that fit well, look great, and provide optimal vision.

Can you make wrap-around or sport sunglasses in prescription?

Yes — many sport/wrap styles support prescription lenses. In some cases we'll recommend Trivex or high-index materials, flatter base curves, or an insert to maintain optical performance. We'll advise the best route for your Rx and sport, when you contact our opticians.

How do you ensure proper fit, PD/OC alignment, and optics in curved frames?

We use advanced digital surfacing technology and custom lens calculations to precisely align your prescription’s pupillary distance (PD) and optical center (OC) within high-wrap or curved frames. These adjustments compensate for lens tilt, curvature, and distortion, ensuring clear, comfortable vision.

What if my prescription sunglasses don't fit properly?

If your prescription sunglasses don’t fit quite right, most minor adjustments—like tightening temples or improving alignment—can be made at your local optical shop. If the issue is more serious or affects your vision, contact us. We’ll review your order details and, if needed, remake the lenses once under our one-time remake policy to ensure a proper fit and clear vision.

Lens Types & Technologies

Single-vision, bifocal, or progressive—what's best for sunglasses?

It depends on how you use them. Single-vision is great for distance-only tasks like driving or outdoor sports. Bifocals work well if you need distance and occasional near vision, like reading a map. Progressives are best for all-day wear, offering seamless vision at all distances without visible lines. The right choice comes down to your lifestyle and how you plan to use your sunglasses.

Which lens materials do you offer (and why)?

  • Polycarbonate: Lightweight, impact-resistant—great for most prescriptions.
  • Trivex: Exceptional clarity + impact resistance; excellent for wrap/sport frames.
  • High-index: Thinner/lighter for stronger prescriptions available in 1.67 and 1.74 in eyeglasses clear and Transitions GEN S.

What is digital prescription lens technology?

Digital prescription lenses use advanced direct digital surfacing to create sharper, more precise optics than traditional methods. By milling the lens from the back, they stay thinner while maintaining accuracy, providing up to a .01 diopter tolerance compared to .12 diopters in standard lenses. This results in clearer vision, wider viewing areas, and less distortion—especially in wraparound or high-curvature frames.

Do photochromic (Transitions®) sunglasses work in the car?

Standard photochromic lenses don’t darken fully in cars because windshields block most UV light. However, Transitions® XTRActive new generation lenses are specially designed to activate behind the windshield, making them the darkest photochromic option for driving. They help protect your eyes from bright sunlight while still offering the convenience of clear indoor vision.

What's the difference between prescription sunglasses and regular glasses?

Prescription sunglasses combine vision correction with sun protection. They feature darker tints, UV protection, and often polarization to reduce glare. Unlike clear prescription glasses, they're designed specifically for outdoor use and bright light conditions, providing both visual clarity and eye protection.

Tints, Coatings & UV Protection

Why is UV protection required for prescription sunglasses?

UV Radiation can seriously damage your eyes—UVA rays accelerate aging effects, while UVB rays cause burning damage. Dark lenses alone don’t guarantee protection; in fact, they can make your pupils dilate and let in more harmful rays. The safest prescription sunglasses have a UV400 rating, blocking 99–100% of both UVA and UVB. This shields your eyes from long-term harm while keeping vision comfortable outdoors—though you should still never look directly at the sun.

Are prescription sunglasses polarized? Should I choose polarization?

Polarization is optional but strongly recommended for cutting glare from water, snow, and pavement. It's ideal for driving, fishing, and boating. Note: some LCD screens (dash displays) can appear darker with polarized lenses.

What tints do you recommend for driving, fishing, golf, cycling, or shooting?

  • Driving: Neutral gray or brown (polarized) for comfort and true color.
  • Fishing/Water: Polarized gray/blue or brown/green to cut surface glare.
  • Golf: Brown/amber or rose-copper to enhance contrast on greens.
  • Cycling: Brown/rose for variable light, mirror for bright days.
  • Shooting: Purpose tints (e.g., orange/copper/rose) tuned to background and light—available in Rx.

Can I get mirrored or gradient tints in prescription?

Yes. We offer mirrored, flash, and gradient tints on many lens colors and materials. Mirrors reduce surface brightness and add style without changing the underlying tint function.

Do you recommend anti-reflective (AR) coating on sunglasses?

Yes — premium back-surface AR reduces reflections from behind you (e.g., sunlight entering around the frame) and improves clarity. It also helps keep lenses cleaner. Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings make cleaning easier and help keep your lenses from scratching.

What's the darkest tint available for prescription sunglasses?

We offer various tint densities from light (10-20%) to very dark (85-90%) depending on your needs and local regulations. For driving, most locations require at least 25% light transmission. Our opticians can recommend the optimal tint level based on your activities and prescription requirements.

Safety & Usage

Is it safe to wear prescription sunglasses while driving?

Absolutely! We encourage people to wear prescription sunglasses while driving during the day. If you are driving at night, you should consider a transitions lens that lightens to a clear transparent lens early or late at night. Rx sunglasses will improve your vision, protect you from dangerous UV radiation, and shield you from intense solar reflections.

Should you wear prescription sunglasses with contacts?

Prescription sunglasses should not be worn when wearing prescription contact lenses. Prescription contacts already function to improve your vision. As a result, you may get headaches, eye strain, or even vision loss. If you decide to wear contact lenses, we recommend investing in a pair of high-quality non-prescription sunglasses.

Can I wear prescription sunglasses indoors?

While you can wear prescription sunglasses indoors, it's not recommended for extended periods as the dark tint can strain your eyes in low light conditions. Consider photochromic lenses that automatically lighten indoors, or keep a separate pair of clear prescription glasses for indoor use.

Is it possible to harm my eyes by using the wrong lenses?

Clinical data does not support the idea of damaging your eyes by staring through glasses with an incorrect prescription or pupillary distance configuration. However, some people may suffer from headaches, dizziness, double vision, or vertigo (particularly those with more significant corrections). With a new prescription, you may need an acclimation period - up to three weeks for first-time progressive wearers, but usually less than a day.

Do prescription sunglasses protect your eyes against COVID-19?

While glasses may give some protection against COVID-19, the shielded region of the eye is the only protected area. The virus can still enter your eyes through the exposed sides, tops, and bottoms of your glasses. According to CDC, you should take all necessary steps to avoid touching your eyes. The Ziena eyeglasses became the top brand for people working in the medical care industry with a magnetic eyecup acting as a moisture seal.

Do you have prescription safety goggles for sale?

At Heavyglare Eyewear, we do sell safety goggles and safety glasses. Depending on your work, there are many different types of safety glasses available.

Care & Maintenance

How do I clean and care for prescription sunglasses?

Rinse dust first, then use lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth—no paper products or harsh chemicals. Be sure your lenses are free of any grit before cleaning. Always use a cleaning cloth, not your t-shirt. You can launder cleaning cloths, but don't use fabric softener as it will smudge the lenses. Frames are covered by the brand's warranty; our premium AR options include a manufacturer warranty against defects.

What can I do to extend the life of my eyeglasses?

Keep your eyeglasses in good condition by following these tips:

  • Instead of buying new frames every time your prescription changes, ask for fresh lenses placed in the existing frames.
  • A spring hinge allows the temples to bend slightly outward without damaging the spectacles.
  • Lenses should be coated with a premium anti-reflective coating with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
  • Follow the care recommendations provided to prevent damage to anti-reflective coating.

How long do prescription sunglasses typically last?

With proper care, prescription sunglasses can last 2-3 years or more. The lifespan depends on usage frequency, care quality, and lens coatings. Prescription changes, frame damage, or significant scratches may require replacement sooner. Regular maintenance and protective storage significantly extend their life.

What should I do if my prescription sunglasses get scratched?

Minor scratches on coated lenses often cannot be repaired and may require lens replacement. To prevent scratches, always use a microfiber cloth, rinse off debris before cleaning, and store glasses in a protective case. Deep scratches that affect vision should be addressed immediately with lens replacement.

Ordering & Policies

How long does a prescription sunglasses order take?

Most orders ship in 10–14 business days depending on lens complexity and frame availability. We'll keep you updated at each step.

Can I track my prescription sunglasses order?

Yes! Once your order is placed, you'll receive email updates at each stage: prescription verification, lens manufacturing, quality control, and shipping. You'll get a tracking number once your glasses ship so you can monitor delivery progress.

What is your return/remake policy for prescription sunglasses?

Prescription lenses are custom-made and non-refundable, but we offer a one-time lens remake to get things right. Non-prescription items follow our standard 30-day return policy for unused products.

What if I'm not satisfied with my prescription sunglasses?

We want you to love your prescription sunglasses! If you're experiencing issues with vision clarity, fit, or comfort, contact us within 30 days. While prescription lenses can't be refunded, we offer one free remake to ensure your satisfaction. Our opticians will work with you to identify and resolve any problems.

Can I use HSA/FSA or insurance for prescription sunglasses?

Yes — HSA/FSA cards are typically accepted for Rx eyewear. For vision insurance, Heavyglare Eyewear is an out-of-network provider for most vision insurance plans. You can submit your purchase for reimbursement by completing the Out-of-Network Reimbursement Form, attaching your itemized receipt, and submitting to your vision insurance company.

Is it possible to have an eye examination at your office?

You can bring in your current prescription to have it filled at our opticians; however, we do not provide eye examinations.
