There are no types of sunglasses that necessarily require an eye test. The "types" of aviator sunglasses refer to the different styles and can be worn by anyone unless advised otherwise by your optometrist.

The difference between aviator sunglasses and prescription glasses is an aspect of their function. Aviator sunglasses are a style choice that can still provide wearers with proper sun protection daily. Prescription glasses may refer to optical eyewear that includes prescription lenses for vision correction, for which you can book an eye test if you have any eye concerns or need an update on your prescription.

The face shapes that may suit aviator glasses best may include heart, oval and pear face shapes. Aviators may work well on heart face shapes as they aid with balancing wider foreheads and the more narrow chins by drawing more focus on the lower portion of the face. Aviator sunglasses may suit oval face shapes as oval faces are characterised by their equal facial portions, helping them suit any style of frame. Aviator sunglasses may suit pear face shapes best as they help create balance for the more narrow foreheads, fuller cheeks and jawline that pear faces typically feature. Whether a glasses frame complements your face shape will still depend on your personal preferences and style, so it is important to try on different frames to see what you like best.

To choose aviator glasses based on face shape, it can be helpful to consider certain factors, such as whether you have a heart face shape, oval face shape, or pear face shape, and choose the frame that complements you most. The ways to choose aviator glasses based on face shape are listed below.

• Heart Face Shape: A heart face shape typically has a wider forehead and a smaller chin, and may suit Oscar Wylee's Murphy and Pedro frame.
• Oval Face Shape: An oval face shape features more balanced proportions and a softer, rounded hairline and jawline. Oval face shapes may suit Oscar Wylee's Duckworth and Gisele frames.
• Pear Face Shape: A pear face shape usually features a narrow forehead and a rounder jawline, and may suit Atomix and Deus.

Aviator glasses can look balanced on the face due to their tear-drop shaped lenses and thinner frames. The aviator frame is a distinct shape with the lenses starting wide at the top and tapering towards the bottom. The lenses cover more of your face, which can also contribute to the visually balanced look.

Yes and no, oversized aviator sunglasses may be better for certain face shapes. However, this may also depend on personal taste. Oversized aviator sunglasses may look flattering on oval, heart and pear face shapes, particularly when the width of the frame is slightly wider than your face, which can make your face appear more narrow. However, if the oversized glasses have a gap in the temples, they may be too wide.

Nose shape may affect wearing aviator glasses in the way it fits. Depending on your nose shape and size, your glasses can slide down your nose bridge more or feel like they're pinching. In relation to your nose shape, if you have a low nose bridge, you may find your glasses can slide down more, which nose pads can help with or ensure your frames are tailored for a low nose bridge fit. Depending on certain types of nose shapes, you may have a high nose bridge, which may result in your glasses sitting too high or also sliding down, depending on how high they sit. Nose pads can also aid with this, or opt for a high nose bridge fit frame.

The different types of lenses used in aviator sunglasses can include prescription lenses, polarised lenses, gradient lenses or tinted lenses. There are many different types of glasses lenses that can be applied to aviator sunglasses to customise your frames exactly to your liking. The different types of lenses that can be used in aviator sunglasses are listed below.

• Prescription Lenses: Prescription lenses can be added to aviator sunglasses so you can have clear vision while wearing your sunglasses. Add prescription to Taku aviator sunglasses to not only protect your eyes but also experience clear vision.
• Polarised Lenses: Polarised lenses can be used in aviator sunglasses to help reduce glare. Polarisation can either be built into the lens material or applied as a coating over the lens. Polarised lenses work by cutting out the amount of horizontal light that enters the lens and hits the eye. Add polarised lenses to the Baz aviator sunglasses frame for that extra glare on bright days, especially when driving or out on the water.
• Gradient Lenses: Gradient lenses can be added to aviator sunglasses, for a concentration of colour at the top, which gradually fades to a lighter colour at the bottom of the lens. Add an additional visual interest to the Ritchie aviator frame by opting for gradient lenses.
• Tinted Lenses: Tinted lenses can be applied to aviator sunglasses to customise your frames with colour. At Oscar Wylee, we offer sunglasses tints in grey, brown and green as well as mirror tints in pink, blue, silver and orange. Add a fun colour tint to the Gisele aviator frame for something different.

The benefits of polarised aviator sunglasses can include glare reduction, UV protection and vision clarity. Polarised aviator sunglasses can aid in cutting the glare from reflective surfaces and the excessive brightness on exceptionally sunny days. Polarised aviator sunglasses also provide UV protection, which is crucial for optimal eye protection. The sun's UV light is essentially what can contribute to short-term and long-term eye problems from excessive exposure while spending time outdoors. Cutting or reducing the glare and extra brightness can help improve the contrast, which helps with vision clarity.

UV protection lenses in aviator sunglasses are what properly protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light rays. At Oscar Wylee, all our lenses for sunglasses and optical glasses are built with UV 400 protection in the lens to ensure automatic protection at the highest level. UV light can cause damage to your eyes and the skin surrounding your eye, which UV protection lenses in aviator sunglasses can either absorb or reflect. UV radiation is made up of UVA, which measures around 315-400 nm, UVB, measuring at 280-315 nm and UVC, which is measured around 100-280 nm, according to the World Health Organisation. This is why having UV 400 protection is especially important, as it ensures full protection.

Yes, aviator sunglasses can reduce eye strain in bright sunlight as it helps let less light into your eyes. Aviator sunglasses can aid with reducing eye strain in sunlight as it prevents your pupils from exerting more effort in constricting and the eyes from having to squint. The eye muscles working to shrink the pupil in response to bright light and to squint can often result in eye strain, which aviator sunglasses can help eliminate.

Yes, aviator glasses can be made with progressive lenses, also known as multifocal lenses. Multifocal lenses have three prescriptions within the lenses for people who experience problems with near, far and intermediate vision.

Yes, aviator sunglasses can be worn as everyday glasses; they offer a statement style that can be easily worn by anyone. Their distinct shape and classic appeal make them perfect for a refined and modern look.

You should consider, before buying aviator sunglasses, factors such as colour, material and fit. Colour is an important consideration as it can reflect your personal sense of style and individuality. Aviator sunglasses come in materials such as stainless steel and bio-acetate. Each has characteristics that can appeal to every person, such as the more eco-friendly nature of bio acetate and the strength of stainless steel. Most importantly, it is important that your aviator sunglasses are a good fit. Try them on before purchasing and take note of how they fit at your nose bridge and behind your ears.

It is important to get an eye test before buying prescription aviators to ensure your prescription reflects your current eyesight and vision needs. If you have experienced changes in your vision since your last prescription, or your prescription has expired, it is important to get an eye test.
