Prescription Sunglasses That Protect Your Eyes

At The Optical Shop, we know your sunglasses do more than block glare — they protect your long-term eye health, enhance visual comfort, and complete your look. Whether you’re driving down Beacon Street, walking the Fens, or heading to the beach, your prescription sunglasses should offer 100% UV400 protection, reduce eye strain, and fit comfortably all day.

But not all sunglasses are created equal. Drugstore readers won’t correct your vision. Non-prescription clip-ons slip and fog. And cheap tints offer little real UV protection. That’s why we craft custom prescription sunglasses with precision lenses and frames that match your face, lifestyle, and style — from affordable acetate to luxury Ray-Ban, Gucci, and Prada.

Located in Newtonville (just minutes from Brookline, Brighton, and Belmont), we ensure your sunglasses fit around your ears, nose, and face — so they stay put, feel light, and look great, whether you’re active or relaxed.
