The Africa Prescription Sports Sunglasses

What Makes the Africa Unique

Initially, these sports sunglasses may not catch your eye as particularly remarkable. However, for those who have ventured into the realm of purchasing sports sunglasses with prescription lenses, the options were typically limited to a clip-in behind a lens or a prescription lens fitted into a standard sports frame, like the Oakley Flak or our Primary +, which, at best, can be considered a somewhat makeshift solution.

By collaborating closely with the leading sports prescription lab in the UK, we've crafted a frame that not only accommodates prescription lenses but also boasts a rimless design. This innovative design ensures the best all-around vision, unobstructed by the frame's rim or the edge of a clip-in lens.

PS As these have only just launched, we are still in the process of putting together more professional photos of Athletes wearing the frames
