Does the Sun Clip work on any glasses?

No. Each clip is custom-made for a specific frame, and the frame needs to be clip-ready Chemistrie eyewear. It is not a universal clip-on.

Are the lenses polarized?

Most lens colors are polarized, and all provide 100% UV protection. A few colors are non-polarized, so check the lens you pick.

Can I use it with my current prescription frames?

Only if your frames are clip-ready Chemistrie eyewear. Otherwise you pair the clip with new clip-ready frames.

Does it add much weight or bulk?

The magnetic lens is thin and sits close to the frame, so it adds little compared with flip-up clip-ons.

Can I move the clip between pairs of glasses?

No. The clip is cut for one frame shape, so it will not fit a different pair.

Where is the Sun Clip cheapest?

At Chemistrie, for $95.00, as of our latest check.

Our take on the Sun Clip

The Chemistrie Sun Clip is a magnetic sunglass lens that snaps onto a pair of Chemistrie clip-ready eyeglasses, turning prescription frames into polarized sunglasses. Each clip is custom-cut to the frame, so it sits flush and adds little bulk. It is the practical pick for people who dislike swapping between prescription glasses and separate sunglasses. Against clip-on rivals, the magnetic attachment is cleaner than flip-up or hook-on designs, and the polarized lens option is a step above basic tinted clips. Owners rate it highly for fit and convenience.
