Heavy sunglasses can turn a bright day into a nuisance. They can dig into the nose bridge, feel bulky behind the ears, or look so generic that they add nothing to your style. Standard sun lenses can also struggle with harsh glare during long drives, town errands, or bright afternoons outdoors.
The Vistan Sun 808 Prescription Sunglasses solve that with a lightweight metallic frame, a distinctive blue rim, and custom 1.5 index tinted lenses for clear prescription sunwear. We curated this model for men and women who want a versatile, statement-making pair that feels refined enough for daily wear. Each order includes the striking metal frame, tinted prescription lenses, a protective hard case, and a microfiber cleaning cloth, dispatched directly from Meath by Buy New Specs.
This model stands out because the frame has presence without excess weight. The minimalist metal construction contours cleanly across the face, creating a polished outline that feels elegant rather than bulky. It gives you the crisp structure people often like in metal frame prescription glasses, but with the added benefit of proper sun protection and a more expressive finish.
The blue rim around each lens is the main visual signature. It gives the frame a clear pop of colour while still keeping the overall look smart, wearable, and contemporary. That rim forms a defined border that will get you noticed anywhere, whether you are heading into town, meeting friends, or spending a bright afternoon outside.
The metal build also supports the lenses securely, helping the frame maintain its shape through everyday handling. Buy New Specs also offers plastic frame prescription glasses for customers who prefer a thicker, bolder profile, but this pair is better suited to anyone who wants a slimmer, cleaner, retro-modern sunwear style. Each base model comes with precision-tinted 1.5 index tinted lenses, giving you sharp visibility and dependable comfort in bright conditions.
This frame is built for a balanced, barely-there feel. The slender frame helps reduce pressure across the face, while the adjustable nose pads allow the fit to be personalised around your bridge shape. This is especially useful if heavier sunglasses normally leave marks or slide during the day.
The shape works well across round, square, and more angular facial profiles. On rounder faces, the fine metal outline adds definition. On square faces, the blue rim softens the structure without losing confidence. On sharper features, the minimal metallic construction gives a smooth, sophisticated finish.
With its balanced shape and clean metallic finish, this frame suits a wide range of faces and styling preferences, making it a strong choice across our men’s prescription glasses and women’s prescription glasses ranges. It is distinctive without feeling overdesigned, making it a practical choice for anyone who wants everyday durability with more personality than a plain black or brown frame.
Irish weather can shift quickly, so prescription sunwear needs to be useful beyond one perfect summer day. This frame transitions easily from morning commutes and school runs to sunny weekend coastal walks across Meath. The blue detailing brings energy to the design, while the metal frame keeps the finish polished enough for everyday town wear.
Your lens setup can be configured around how you use your sunglasses. For driving and general outdoor wear, a long-distance single-vision solar setup is often the simplest option. For reading outside, prescription reading glasses can help with menus, labels, or books in brighter settings. Customers who need two clear zones may prefer prescription bifocal glasses, while prescription varifocal glasses can support distance, intermediate, and near vision in one more advanced lens design.
We can also help you compare practical lens enhancements. Anti-glare prescription glasses are useful for reducing distracting reflections, especially while driving. Prescription glasses that react to light may suit customers who want adaptive lenses for changing conditions, while a dedicated tinted pair gives a stronger, more consistent sunglass experience. For indoor screen use, prescription glasses with blue light filter options may suit a separate everyday pair. If your priority is running, cycling, or impact-aware activity, sports prescription glasses may be more suitable, but for stylish daily sunwear, this frame delivers a stronger lifestyle finish.
Ordering online with Buy New Specs is straightforward. Choose the frame, enter your prescription details, and select the lens options that match your vision needs. We keep the process clear, and our Meath-based team can help if your prescription needs a quick review before completion.

The best guide for you is to look at your current spectacles. The measurements in millimeters can usually be found on the inside of the frame, on the arm or on the nose bridge. They will look something like this: (example) - 46-20-135
If the measurements are worn away then a mm ruler can be used to measure your old glasses.
1st number - Lens width: Related to your eye size, and typically in the range of 46 (small) to 56 (large) (where the lens is)
2nd number - Bridge width: This is where you nose sits. Typically this is between 15 and 20.
3rd number - Side Length: 130 (short), 135 (medium) and 140 (long) (from lens to the end piece of your ear) We don't quote this number as a high percentage of frames are size 135
