Does the clip-on have my prescription in it?

No. Your prescription is applied only to the inner clear lenses. The outer grey clip-on is non-prescription for everyone.

How does the clip-on stay on?

It attaches magnetically to the front of the frame. You lift it off when you go indoors and set it back on outside.

Is the sun clip polarized?

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

Can I wear the clip-on without prescription lenses?

Yes. The clip works as a standalone sun layer over the clear frame, whether or not the inner lenses are prescription.

How does it compare with photochromic lenses?

Photochromic lenses darken on their own but are slower to change and don't polarize. The Lea's clip gives instant, removable polarization, at the cost of a second layer.

What comes with the glasses?

The set is the optical frame plus the magnetic polarized grey clip-on. Prescription lenses are a separate customization of the inner frame.

Our take on the Eydology Lea

The Eydology Lea is a two-layer eyewear set: a clear optical frame in transparent grey with a magnetic polarized grey clip-on that turns it into sunglasses. Prescription lenses go in the inner frame only; the sun clip stays non-prescription. It suits people who want one pair for indoors and outdoors instead of carrying separate sunglasses. Against rival clip-on sets, the magnetic attachment is easier to manage than friction clips, but the sun layer is a flat clip rather than a wrapped sunglass lens, so coverage and side glare are limited.

About the Eydology Lea

The Eydology Lea is an eyeglass frame with a transparent grey finish and a minimal, crystal-like look. It comes with a polarized grey clip-on that attaches to the frame magnetically, so the glasses can double as sunglasses.

Frame: Transparent grey
Clip-on: Polarized grey, magnetic attachment, detachable
Prescription: Inner optical lenses only; the clip-on is non-prescription
