Prescription Browline Sunglasses for Canadian

Browline glasses pair a bold top bar with pronounced elbows and temples. This frame style was introduced in 1947 and remained popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Vintage browline eyewear features a plastic frame top and temples with a metal bridge and lower rims. Retro style trends and updates to this look make prescription browline sunglasses a timeless statement.

Browline Frames

Browline sunglasses were originally more popular for men, but women also wear this style. Browline frames are best suited for diamond, square, oblong and oval face shapes. These frames create visual weight in the upper part of the face that can balance features or emphasize certain angles. Similar frame designs featuring stylized top bars include horn rims and cat-eye glasses, both of which were introduced in the 1930s.

Browline glasses may be available in the classic combination of a plastic top rim with a metal bridge and lower rims or be made primarily of either plastic or metal. The latest takes on the browline style feature all-metal construction. Depending on the frame design and materials, browlines can evoke an old-fashioned or a minimalist modern look.

Prescription Tinted Lenses

Once you select browline prescription sunglasses frames, a range of diopters and powers and a variety of tints and finishes are available for the lenses. If you require a high-power prescription, make sure that the frames you are considering are compatible with the thickness or shape of high RX lenses. The base curve and design of the upper and lower portions of this eyewear may limit which prescription lenses can be successfully fitted into browline frames.

Most browline glasses can be paired with single vision, multifocal or reading lenses with a choice of standard, gradient or mirrored tint in grey, brown, green, blue, yellow, red or purple shades. Some eyewear may be available with polarized or mirrored lenses in a limited selection of tints. The high-definition digital surfacing may also be available for lenses.

Prescription Browline Sunglasses FAQs

What are browline sunglasses?

The front of browline frames is accentuated by a thick top bar made of plastic or metal that often has stylized endpieces. The top of this frame style was conventionally made of plastic, while the bridge and lower rims were made of metal. More recent styles also feature metal browlines.

Are browline frames available with high RX prescription lenses?

Some prescription browline sunglasses are suitable for high-power prescriptions. The base curve and design of these frames may limit lens thickness. The lower rim design of a pair of browline frames plays a significant part in determining the diopter range. Check to see whether a style supports high RX lenses.

Which face shapes are flattered by browline sunglasses?

Browline frames are ideal for diamond, oblong, triangle, square and oval face shapes. The prominent top bar of this frame style adds visual weight to the upper portion of the face that can balance and showcase facial features. The size of these sunglasses is also important for the best-looking fit.

What frame materials do browline styles feature?

Classic browline frames combined a plastic top bar and temples with a metal bridge and lower rims. Newer designs are available with the same combination of materials or with a metal top bar and temples. Frames that have a plastic browline may accentuate the retro style with colours or patterns.

Can prescription browline sunglasses be worn during activities?

The best browline sunglasses provide a comfortable fit for casual wear and activities such as walking or driving. High-intensity activities with any impact risk call for sports sunglasses. Both styles shield eyes from ultraviolet light, but the base curve and lower rim of browlines admit more indirect light than wraparound frames.

I love Rx Safety Glasses Canada. I have a weird prescription so I appreciate the double check I got to be sure it was correct. The glasses fit perfectly and function perfectly, for probably a third of the cost of an optical department.

Very reasonable price, love my glasses, ordered a second pair of the same style, I always go to Rx Safety Glasses Canada for my glasses. Thank you for being so affordable, I used to go to the Optical stores and paid 3 times as much.

I absolutely love these prescription sunglasses! The fit is perfect and the lens are actually darker than I anticipated but then I realized what I'd been missing by buying the 'pharmacy store' cheap glasses.

I was so pleased with my polarized sunglasses. The only thing I did wrong was get a little too big frame. Prescription was perfect!!

Love my new safety glasses! The fit is amazing, and I get compliments all the time. I did pay more for oil resistant lenses and think it was worth the extra.

Simple and Easy! I love how light and comfortable my frames are. Shipping was comparable to what I would have waited buying them at the eye doctor and it was so much more affordable! I will be back for my next set of frames when the time comes.

Comfortable to wear, perfect seals around your eyes to avoid wind and dust; but at the same time breathable to avoid moisture inside the lenses. I use it with the straps for stability and security with mountain biking.
