Finding clip-on sunglasses that seamlessly match your prescription frames shouldn't be a guessing game. At VS Eyewear, our polarized flip-up clip-ons are engineered to deliver 100% UV400 protection and maximum glare reduction while providing a sleek, custom-like fit over your existing glasses. Whether you wear slim wireframes, classic wayfarers, or oversized aviators, achieving full coverage and scratch-free placement comes down to choosing the right shape and dimensions.
 

Use our comprehensive sizing guide and visual reference chart below to match your frame's width, height, and overall shape. Simply measure your current lenses in millimeters—or check the sizing numbers printed on the inside of your temple arm—and select the model code that meets or slightly exceeds your frame dimensions for complete sun protection and a secure fit.

🔍 How to Find Your Frame Size in 3 Steps
 

Check Your Temple Arm First: Look at the inside of your current frame's temple arm. You will usually see three numbers printed like 54-18-140.

     The first number (54) is the lens width in millimeters.

     Your clip-on width must be at least this size or up to 2 mm larger.
 

Measure the Lens Height & Total Width:
 

     Lens Width (A): Measure across the widest horizontal point of one lens (including the rim).

     Lens Height (B): Measure vertically at the tallest point of one lens.

     Overall Frame Width: Measure across the front of your glasses from the far left outer edge to the far right outer edge.
 

Match Your Frame Shape:
 

     Rectangular Lenses: Choose Rectangular, Deep Rectangle, or Narrow Rectangle clip-ons.

     Round / Oval Lenses: Choose Oval or Round-Square profile clip-ons.

     Teardrop / Pilot: Choose Small or Large Aviator clip-ons.
 

💡 Key Usage Tips & Care
 

     Slightly Larger is Better: A clip-on that is slightly too large will fit securely and shield 100% of incoming sunlight, whereas one that is too small can scratch lenses or leave gaps.

     Not Recommended For Rimless/Semi-Rimless: Standard clip-ons require a solid outer frame lip to grip safely.

     Hook Adjustment: You can gently adjust clip-on prong tension inward so the clips do not press directly on your primary prescription lenses.
