Frequently Asked Questions

Are Blenders sunglasses polarized?

Yes, the vast majority of Blenders sunglasses feature polarized lenses with UV400 protection. Polarization eliminates glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement, making them ideal for driving, water sports, and outdoor activities. All polarized Blenders lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays to protect your eyes from harmful sun exposure.

Can I get prescription lenses in Blenders frames?

While Blenders primarily manufactures non-prescription sunglasses, many of their frame styles can be fitted with prescription lenses by a qualified optician. Contact Designer Optics customer service to inquire about prescription lens options for specific Blenders models. Keep in mind that highly curved or wraparound sport frames may have limitations for certain prescription strengths.

What materials are Blenders sunglasses made from?

Blenders sunglasses typically feature impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses and durable plastic or polycarbonate frames. The frames are designed to be lightweight yet sturdy enough to handle active use. Many models include rubberized temple grips and nose pads for enhanced comfort and security during movement. The materials are chosen to balance affordability with performance and longevity.

How do I know which Blenders frame size is right for me?

Blenders offers various frame sizes to accommodate different face shapes and sizes. Standard models work for most adults, while the brand also produces 'Small' versions of popular styles (like the Millenia X2 Small) for narrower faces. Check the product specifications for frame measurements—lens width, bridge width, and temple length. If you're between sizes, consider your face width and whether you prefer a snug athletic fit or a more relaxed everyday fit.

Are Blenders sunglasses good for sports and active use?

Yes. Blenders designs many of its sunglasses specifically for active lifestyles. The X2 series and sport models feature wraparound designs, secure grip technology, and impact-resistant lenses that stay in place during high-intensity activities. The lightweight construction and polarized lenses make them excellent for running, cycling, water sports, and outdoor adventures. Even the lifestyle models are durable enough for everyday active wear.

Blenders

Blenders Eyewear launched in 2012 when founder Chase Fisher set up a stand on the Pacific Beach boardwalk in San Diego. His goal was straightforward: sell quality sunglasses at prices that didn't require a second mortgage. What started as a single boardwalk operation selling shades to beachgoers has grown into a brand that captures California's active, outdoor culture.

The Blenders collection includes polarized lenses with UV400 protection across aviators, wayfarers, wraparounds, and cat-eyes. Polarization filters out horizontal light waves that create glare on water, snow, and pavement—this means clearer vision when you're driving into the sun or out on the water. UV400 blocks all light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nanometers, covering the entire UVA and UVB spectrum that can damage your eyes over time. The lenses are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate, a lightweight plastic that won't shatter on impact the way glass lenses can. Frames use similar polycarbonate or durable acetate construction.

Blenders keeps prices down by selling directly and skipping the traditional retail markup. You get polarized protection and solid construction without paying for luxury branding.
