Does the clip-on have my prescription in it?

No. Your prescription is applied only to the inner optical lenses. The grey polarized clip-on is non-prescription.

Are the clip-on lenses polarized?

Yes. The outer grey clip-on is polarized, which helps cut glare from roads, water and bright surfaces.

How does the clip-on stay on?

It attaches magnetically to the optical frame. You lift it off to go back to clear glasses.

Can I wear the frame without the clip-on?

Yes. The frame works as ordinary clear eyeglasses once the clip-on is removed.

Is this a good alternative to prescription sunglasses?

It replaces a second pair for many people, but the sun layer is non-prescription. If you need corrected vision in bright light, dedicated prescription sunglasses are the stronger choice.

Our take on the Ainsley

The Eydology Ainsley is a transparent grey optical frame with a magnetic polarized grey clip-on that turns it into sunglasses. The inner lenses take a prescription; the outer clip stays non-prescription. It suits people who want one pair that works indoors and in sun without carrying a second set of sunglasses. Against dedicated prescription sunglasses, the clip-on adds a layer and some bulk, but it saves the cost and hassle of a second pair.
