The Opal Sun OWIS188 Prescription Sunglasses are built for Irish daylight conditions where road glare, bright pavements and changing skies can disrupt visual comfort. Their full-plastic Wayfarer-style chassis gives you a structured masculine silhouette, broad lens coverage and a stable prescription platform for commuting, driving, outdoor work and weekends away.
Each order includes the high-finish plastic frame, custom 1.5 index tinted lenses, a protective case and a cleaning cloth. This supplied setup protects the lenses between tasks and delivers tinted correction from first wear. Buy New Specs dispatches completed eyewear nationwide, removing the need to source a frame and lenses separately.
The Opal Sun OWIS188 Prescription Sunglasses use a full plastic construction that balances low weight with the rigidity required for routine handling. Its substantial front secures the lenses, while the integrated fixed bridge spreads contact across the nose more evenly than a narrow, sharply edged bridge. Generous, angular lenses also extend shielding around the eye area, reducing direct light from changing angles during travel.
The deep black frame comes with solid dark smoke lenses for a classic, low-distraction finish. The navy blue option combines a dark blue front with matching protective lenses, delivering clearer colour definition while retaining the same coverage. Small silver-tone wing rivets at the outer corners lead into tapered plastic temples. When comparing materials, plastic frame prescription glasses provide a lighter, enclosed construction, while metal frame prescription glasses generally provide a more exposed, adjustable format.
The defined rectangular geometry introduces clean horizontal and vertical lines that can balance round, oval and softer facial profiles. The broad front should sit level, with the bridge resting evenly and the temples applying light, equal pressure behind the ears. It has tapered plastic temples and a moulded fixed bridge rather than metal temples or adjustable nose pads, which creates a simple, consistent contact system without movable fittings.
Compare the frame-size information with a pair you wear comfortably, especially lens width, bridge width and temple length. Too narrow a frame can create side pressure; too wide a frame may shift during walking or vehicle entry. For a firm, everyday profile, compare this shape with men’s prescription glasses. The same prescription workflow also supports women’s prescription glasses for wearers who prefer a structured unisex silhouette.
This model supports focused daytime travel through Dublin, regular driving, coastal routes and open outdoor settings where reflected light changes quickly. Its strong front and wide lens area create a stable tinted viewing zone when moving from shaded streets to exposed roads, paths or waterfronts. For high-movement activity, assess the retention, wrap and impact requirements of sports prescription glasses separately: this classic frame is intended for everyday wear rather than specialist sport protection.
We configure several lens formats to match the task. Prescription reading glasses in a tinted format support close-up outdoor paperwork, labels and diagnostic notes. Long-distance lenses are optimised for driving, route finding and long-range visibility. Prescription varifocal glasses give a gradual near-to-distance transition, while prescription bifocal glasses retain defined near and far viewing areas. An anti-glare prescription glasses treatment can reduce reflections from wet roads, windscreens and water. For repeated indoor-outdoor movement, prescription glasses that react to light may suit you better than fixed sunglasses; for screen-heavy work, prescription glasses with blue light filter can be specified in a separate clear pair.
Enter your current optical specification online, select the frame colour and choose the lens format that suits your principal use. Check sphere, cylinder, axis, addition and pupillary-distance values against your prescription before submitting. Buy New Specs prepares the chosen configuration for nationwide delivery, with personal customer care and a hassle-free return policy to minimise disruption where a fit or prescription query needs attention. If you already have a suitable frame, reglazing prescription glasses may be a practical alternative to replacing the full eyewear setup.
At Buy New Specs, we focus on contemporary styling, reliable components and long-lasting optical performance for real outdoor demands. Choosing the precise geometry and durable finishes of the Opal Sun OWIS188 Prescription Sunglasses gives you robust visual equipment engineered for regular use through changing light, travel and daily routines.

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
