An eyewear solution you can rely on

WE'VE GOT YOUR EYES COVERED WITH
AN RX SOLUTION THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST

There is nothing more frustrating than an inability to see clearly when you’re out on the water. Even for those with perfect vision, the ocean throws many hazards at you in the form of high levels of UV, sea-spray and fast-moving objects. If your vision requires correction, there is an additional layer of complication on top.

Compounding these challenges, there are a swathe of environmental conditions we face on the water which require a versatile and solution-driven response if we want to stay focused on what we’re doing and navigate safely.

We’re able to offer our prescription customers a high level of customisation that focuses on the needs of the individual in their unique environment and which goes beyond what is available for off-the-shelf products.

An example of this is our state of-the-art anti-fog coating – ‘ORION-X’. When lenses fog up on plano sunglasses, the wearer has the option of removing them while waiting for the fogging to clear. However, this is not an option for someone wearing prescription sunglasses. With our prescription service, we can apply premium quality coatings individually on a custom basis. This applies to mirror coatings also, so the range of frame colours and lens options greatly exceeds what is available with our off-the-shelf products.

Whatever your needs are, we’re confident that our prescription watershades will exceed your expectations and that they’ll become an essential component of your watersports equipment.

Water Sports and Prescription Glasses: A Perfect Match

If you are struggling with imperfect eyesight, you are not alone. Glasses have long been the go-to solution for corrected vision, whether you’re at work, home, or out on the town. But what about when you’re out having fun on the water? You don’t often see athletes on the field wearing glasses, and that’s because most opt for contact lenses. Easy, right? Not so fast.

When it comes to water sports, contact lenses can be a recipe for disaster. Water is a breeding ground for bacteria, and that means your contacts could become a haven for harmful invaders. Sand, salt, and other debris pose another threat, not just to your lenses but to your eyes themselves. And let’s not forget the possibility of losing a lens during an intense wipeout, rendering your vision blurred and significantly reducing awareness of your surroundings. So, where does that leave you? The answer lies in prescription glasses for water sports that can be tailored specifically to your optical needs and your local environment. But there’s more to it than just correcting your vision. The sun and a highly reflective ocean are formidable opponents. Even with premium quality glasses, UV radiation is relentless, always searching for a way to damage your eyes.

What you need is a pair of specialized watersports prescription glasses designed to stay firmly in place, keeping your vision razor sharp, offering unbeatable sun protection, and built to withstand the harshest of aquatic environments.

But where can you find such specialized prescription water sports glasses? Not at your local surf shop, and certainly not on a standard optometrist’s rack. The solution is right here, online. At LiP Sunglasses, we’ve been perfecting the art of prescription watersports eyewear since 2017. Our team of eyecare professionals is dedicated to delivering premium-quality, high-performance optical water sports eyewear that meets both your vision and sporting needs.

Why are Prescription Watersports Glasses so difficult to find?

There are many reasons why you may have had difficulty researching water sports prescription glasses. Primarily, it’s a niche market with limited demand, and that means that most eyewear brands don’t invest in developing specialized products for this segment, making them harder to find. Additional factors are the complex manufacturing / engineering challenges of preparing lenses for highly wrapped frames, and time and cost considerations.

Set your Sights Higher by Requesting an RX Consultation

You can’t buy these pieces of equipment off the peg. Your prescription water sports glasses have to be custom-made for you. As it is a customized product, we are able to tailor your lenses specifically to your needs. Whether you are seeking prescription fishing sunglasses, ski glasses or snowboarding shades, we’ve got you covered. During our consultation process, we’ll ask you what water sports you are active in, where you are located, the weather considerations for your locality and the primary concerns you have both for vision correction and for your chosen watersports.
