If you wear prescription glasses, you know the daily struggle of transitioning between indoor and outdoor light. Swapping glasses for sunglasses, or balancing a pair over your regular lenses, isn’t ideal. That’s why magnetic clip-on sunglasses have become a go-to solution for many eyewear users, and at Vari Eyewear, they’re our most popular product for a reason.

But beyond convenience and style, magnetic clip-ons serve an important purpose: protecting your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Let’s break down how they work and why they’re so effective.

What Are Magnetic Clip-On Sunglasses?

Magnetic clip-ons are custom-fitted sunglass lenses that attach directly to the front of your prescription glasses using small, built-in magnets. Each pair is designed to match the shape and size of your Vari Eyewear frames, so they fit seamlessly and stay securely in place. They offer a streamlined, fashionable look, without the hassle of carrying around a second pair of glasses.

Built-In UV Protection That Works Overtime

What makes these clip-ons more than just a stylish accessory is the UV protection embedded in the lenses. All Vari clip-ons are made with high-quality sun lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Here’s why that matters:

  • UVA Rays can age your eyes prematurely and contribute to long-term vision problems like cataracts.
  • UVB Rays are stronger and more likely to cause short-term damage, such as photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye).
  • By shielding your eyes from both types of radiation, our clip-ons help protect your vision every time you step outside.

How the Technology Keeps You Covered

Vari’s magnetic clip-on lenses aren’t just tinted glass. They’re engineered with multiple layers, including a UV-blocking filter, a scratch-resistant coating, and polarization (in select styles). The magnets are discreetly built into the frame and clip for a flush, barely-there feel, no awkward bulk or misaligned lenses.

The result? Instant sun protection with just one satisfying click.

The Benefits Go Beyond UV

In addition to UV defense, polarized options help reduce glare from surfaces like water, roads, and car hoods, making them perfect for driving or spending time outdoors. This added clarity can help reduce eye strain and improve overall comfort in bright conditions. And because they're easy to take on and off, you can adapt to changing light without changing your entire look.
