It is already time for Morgan to go back to the eye doctor. I have no idea if she will need a new RX or not. As of now, she has the Transition Lens glasses. They’re pretty awesome for a kid because they only need one pair of glasses. However, they are pretty pricey. Her grandparents bought her the pair she has now.
So, if her RX changed I may need to look into buying a separate pair for sunglasses. This may be better because then if she breaks the sunglasses pair while playing outdoors, then her main glasses will still be OK.
I’m shopping around and checking out places online and happen upon a place! Stylish Prescription Sunglasses and UV 400 is offered free of charge. They even have transition lenses at the GlassesShop.com!
If you want to see how a set would look on you, they have a virtual try-on. You pick from some images of people that have a similar face shape to you, or you can upload your own photo.
They have Colored Tints, Photochromic and Polarized lenses. After you choose your frames and lenses you just need to enter your RX information. It’s super simple and they even offer a return policy!

I work for Transitions Optical and it’s great to hear you’re considering purchasing Transitions lenses again. As I’m sure you’ve seen with Morgan they are a great product for children. The lens are available in lightweight and shatter-resistant materials, such as polycarbonate, a must have lens for protecting kids’ eyes; automatically block 100% of UV rays and reduce glare — minimizing the eye strain and fatigue that affects even the youngest eyes. While price shopping, you should also check out some of the national retailers, such as Wal-Mart Vision Center or Sam’s Club Optical, JC Penny, VisionWorks, etc. With kids gearing up for school many retailers are offering specials on kids’ eyewear fitted with Transitions lenses; I’ve seen the prices under $100 and some even with product warranties.
