Custom Clip-On Sunglasses FAQ | Best Optic Lab

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Clip-On Sunglasses

Find answers to common questions about our custom-made clip-on sunglasses, lens options, frame compatibility, ordering process, and more.

General Questions

What are custom clip-on sunglasses?

Custom clip-on sunglasses are removable sunglass lenses made specifically to match the shape and size of your existing eyeglass frames. Unlike generic clip-ons, our custom-made clip-ons are precisely crafted for a secure fit and a clean, integrated appearance.

Can you make clip-on sunglasses for any eyeglass frame?

Yes! We can create custom clip-on sunglasses for virtually any frame shape, size, or brand, including metal, plastic, rimless, and semi-rimless frames. Certain unusual frame designs may require additional evaluation.

How are your custom clip-ons different from store-bought clip-ons?

Generic clip-on sunglasses come in standard shapes and sizes that may not match your glasses.

At Best Optic Lab, every clip-on is handcrafted to follow the exact outline of your eyeglass frame. The result is a precise, secure fit that looks like it was designed specifically for your glasses.

Do I need a prescription to order custom clip-on sunglasses?

No. Our custom clip-on sunglasses use non-prescription (plano) lenses. They fit over your existing prescription glasses, allowing you to enjoy sunglass protection without purchasing another pair of prescription eyewear.

Where are your custom clip-on sunglasses made?

All our custom clip-on sunglasses are proudly handcrafted in the USA at our facility in Glendale, California.

Customization and Lens Options

Do you offer polarized clip-on sunglasses?

Yes. We offer both polarized and non-polarized sunglass lenses.

Polarized lenses help reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as roads, water, and snow, providing improved visual comfort in bright conditions.

What lens colors are available?

We offer a variety of sunglass lens colors, including popular options such as gray, brown, and green, along with additional specialty colors and finishes.

Available options may vary depending on the lens type selected.

Do you offer mirrored clip-on sunglasses?

Yes! We offer custom clip-on sunglasses with a selection of mirror colors and finishes. Mirror lenses provide a distinctive appearance while helping manage bright reflected light.

Explore our available mirror options on our Mirror Colors page.

Can you match the clip-on frame color to my eyeglasses?

Yes. We offer custom color-matching options to complement your existing eyewear. Available finishes include shiny, matte, and specialty color options, subject to frame design and material compatibility.

What clip-on attachment styles do you offer?

We offer several attachment styles, including:

  • Long Bar Style
  • Short Bar Style
  • Bridge Style

The appropriate style depends on your eyeglass frame design and personal preference.

Ordering and Shipping

How do I order custom clip-on sunglasses?

You can order through our retail website or through an authorized optical retailer.

Optical professionals can apply for a wholesale account through our online ordering portal.

Because every clip-on is custom-made, we need your actual eyeglass frame to manufacture it accurately.

Do I need to send you my eyeglass frames?

Yes. Your physical eyeglass frame is required to ensure an accurate custom fit.

We do not manufacture clip-ons using frame model numbers or measurements alone.

Can you make clip-ons if I provide the frame brand and model number?

No. We do not maintain a database of eyeglass frame shapes or measurements. Even frames with the same model number can have slight variations.

We require your actual frame to create a precisely fitted clip-on.

How should I ship my eyeglasses?

Pack your glasses securely in a protective case and use a sturdy shipping box.

We recommend choosing a shipping service that provides tracking and appropriate insurance.

Follow the shipping instructions provided during the ordering process.

How long does it take to make custom clip-on sunglasses?

Production time depends on the selected clip-on style, lens options, customization requirements, and current order volume.

Please contact us for current turnaround estimates before placing a time-sensitive order.

Fit, Care, and Maintenance

Will custom clip-on sunglasses damage my eyeglass frames?

Our clip-ons are designed for a secure fit while minimizing contact-related wear. Proper installation and removal are important to help protect your eyeglass frames.

Are custom clip-on sunglasses easy to attach and remove?

Yes. Our clip-ons are designed for convenient attachment and removal.

For best results, hold your eyeglass frame securely in one hand and attach the clip-on carefully with the other hand.

Avoid forcing or bending the clip-on during installation.

How should I clean my custom clip-on sunglasses?

Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water when necessary and clean them using a microfiber cloth and a lens-safe cleaning solution.

Avoid abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, and excessive heat, which may damage the lenses or finishes.

Can I use my custom clip-ons on a different pair of glasses?

Custom clip-ons are manufactured specifically for the frame submitted with your order. They generally will not fit another pair of glasses properly, even if the frames look similar.

Wholesale and Optical Professionals

Do you offer wholesale pricing for optical stores?

Yes. Best Optic Lab specializes in manufacturing custom clip-on sunglasses for opticians, optical retailers, and eyewear professionals.

Approved wholesale customers receive access to our online ordering portal and wholesale pricing.

How do I open a wholesale account?
