Frequently Asked Questions

How do magnetic clip-on sunglasses work?

Small magnets built into the clip-on align with magnets in the compatible glasses frame, allowing the sunglasses clip to attach quickly and securely over the front of your prescription lenses.

Do magnetic clip-on sunglasses fit any glasses?

No. Our magnetic sunglasses clips are model-specific and are designed to fit particular compatible frames. They are not universal and cannot be interchanged between different frame models.

How do I know which clip-on fits my glasses?

The compatible frame model will be clearly shown on the product page. Always select the clip-on designed specifically for your glasses model to ensure the correct shape, size and magnetic connection.

Can I use a clip-on designed for another Direct Sight frame?

No. Even if two frames appear similar in size or shape, the position of the magnets and the dimensions of the clip-on may be different. You should only use the clip-on made for your specific frame model.

Do I need prescription lenses in the clip-on?

No. Your prescription remains in your everyday glasses underneath. The clip-on simply sits over the front of your existing lenses to provide the effect of sunglasses, so there's no need to add your prescription to the clip itself.

Are magnetic clip-on sunglasses easy to remove?

Yes. They're designed to make switching between clear glasses and sunglasses quick and convenient. Attach the clip-on when you step outside and simply remove it when you return indoors.

Are clip-on sunglasses good for driving?

Magnetic clip-on sunglasses can be a convenient option for daytime driving because you can quickly add tinted lenses when conditions become bright and remove them when they're no longer required. Always ensure the tint is suitable for driving conditions.

How should I store my sunglasses clip-on?

When it's not attached to your glasses, keep your clip-on safely stored to help protect the lenses from scratches and accidental damage. Avoid placing the lenses face-down on hard surfaces and clean them using a suitable microfibre lens cloth.

Two looks, one pair of glasses

Designed to attach securely to selected Direct Sight prescription frames using discreet magnets, they offer a simple and convenient way to add sun protection without changing your glasses.

Each clip-on is made specifically for a compatible frame model, creating a close, secure fit that complements the shape of your glasses. Simply attach the magnetic sunglasses clip when you head outdoors and remove it when you no longer need tinted lenses.

Our magnetic clip-on sunglasses give you the convenience of prescription glasses and sunglasses in one versatile frame. There's no need to carry a separate pair of prescription sunglasses or swap between glasses when moving indoors and outdoors.

The lightweight clip-on sits neatly over the front of your compatible glasses, transforming them into sunglasses while allowing you to continue looking through your prescription lenses underneath.

It's an easy everyday solution for driving, travelling, holidays or simply enjoying brighter days outdoors.
