The Opal Sun OWMS175 Prescription Sunglasses provide dependable prescription sunwear when glare, an unstable fit or limited side coverage disrupts driving, walking and outdoor work. We curated this men’s metal design as protective daily equipment: its full-rim rectangular structure holds lenses securely, while the broad lens shape controls direct and reflected light across the viewing area.
Each order arrives with a high-finish metal frame, precision-crafted 1.5 index tinted lenses, a protective case and a cleaning cloth. Buy New Specs dispatches prescription orders nationwide, giving you the essential equipment to protect the lenses between journeys and maintain a clear viewing surface.
A full-rim metal construction creates a rigid perimeter around the lenses, helping retain alignment through repeated handling, commuting and daily driving. The rectangular front provides a structured masculine profile with defined horizontal lines, giving softer facial features a more balanced visual frame. Generous rectangular lenses also provide useful shielding when sunlight arrives from the front or at an angle.
Choose Black for an understated finish suited to regular professional and casual wear, or Dark Gunmetal for a darker industrial appearance with technical definition. Both colourways use open dual-rail cutout detailing along the front of the metal temples, before changing to contrasting tortoiseshell-patterned temple tips. This creates a controlled, lighter-looking side profile without leaving the temples visually plain.
Clear adjustable nose pads are vital to reliable daily positioning. They permit a personalised bridge setting that spreads weight more evenly and helps reduce localised pinching. The adjustment is particularly useful when activity, warmth or changing weather affects how a fixed bridge sits. By allowing the pads to be adjusted independently, the bridge can be centred for a more secure, custom-stabilised fit. This improves weight distribution across the nose and helps the frame remain settled rather than drifting down when you look down, turn quickly or move between interior and exterior spaces. Compare other construction types through our metal frame prescription glasses and plastic frame prescription glasses.
The structured rectangular front gives the frame an even balance, while lightweight metal temples with ventilated cutouts limit visual bulk. Adjustable pads can help keep the frame clear of the cheeks and stabilised during normal head movement, outdoor transit and active routines.
The sharp lens lines bring useful definition to round, oval and softer facial profiles. Tortoiseshell temple tips give a comfortable contact point behind the ears, where small shifts can otherwise cause movement or pressure. For comparable daily shapes, see our men’s prescription glasses and women’s prescription glasses. For higher-movement use, explore our sports prescription glasses.
Irish daylight can change quickly across wet roads, pavements, water and open countryside. This clean-cut frame moves efficiently from focused daytime navigation in Dublin to weekend driving and outdoor routines in regional settings. Tinted rectangular lenses reduce harsh brightness while maintaining the coverage needed when sunlight changes direction.
We provide lens formats to match your primary working distance. Reading lenses suit close-up outdoor reading, diagnostics and paperwork. Long-distance lenses support driving, open-road navigation and long-range visibility. Varifocal lenses provide seamless multi-distance utility and glare protection through the day, while bifocal lenses use distinct near and far fields in a tinted lens. Review prescription reading glasses, prescription varifocal glasses and prescription bifocal glasses when selecting the appropriate format.
An Anti-Glare coating can reduce blinding reflections from wet road surfaces, water bodies and windshields, supporting steadier visual judgement. Our anti-glare prescription glasses explain this upgrade. Consider prescription glasses that react to light for variable exposure, and prescription glasses with blue light filter where screen tasks are part of the day. When an existing frame remains structurally sound, reglazing prescription glasses provides a lens-replacement route.

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
