You sure can! We have a few different options if you would like to turn an eyeglasses frame into a pair of sunglasses instead.
After choosing your lens type, lens material, and any coatings you may want, there is an option for "Lens color." Under this option, we have three choices for adding a 'sunglasses effect' to a regular pair of glasses.
Color Tinted lenses ($30.00)- A color tint will reduce the amount of light that passes through the lens. Color Tint is available in a variety of different colors and densities.
Polarized lenses ($99.00)- Polarized lenses are similar to Color Tinted lenses because they both reduce the amount of light that passes through the lens. However, Polarized lenses include a specialized filter that reverses the effect of harsh glares reflected from the sun or other bright surfaces.

Transitions®VII ($99.00)- No more switching back and forth from glasses to your sunnies! You can now have the convenience of your glasses and your sunglasses combined into one fabulous frame. Transitions® causes the lens of your glasses to turn dark and block UV rays when exposed to the sun, and then fades to clear when returning indoors.
Transitions®Gen 8™ ($119.00)- The new Gen 8 lenses reach full darkness in less than 40 seconds! That's 30% faster than Transitions Signature VII. On top of that, Gen 8 lenses also get just a bit darker, roughly 3%, than their predecessor.
