DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Elle EL13511C Clip On transforms your Elle EL13511 prescription eyeglasses into sunglasses in seconds. This magnetic clip-on attachment snaps securely onto the front of your frames, giving you instant sun protection without the expense of a separate pair of prescription sunglasses.

Designed specifically for the Elle EL13511 frame, this clip-on features a round shape with subtle cat-eye styling that mirrors the base frame's contours. The full-rim design provides complete coverage, while the gradient tinted lenses reduce glare and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Available in three sophisticated colors—Wine, Blue, and Tortoise—you can match your mood or outfit.

The magnetic attachment system is the key advantage here. Unlike traditional clip-ons that use metal clips or hinges, magnets eliminate the risk of scratching your prescription lenses and ensure perfect alignment every time you attach them. Simply bring the clip-on close to your frames and the magnets do the rest. When you step indoors, remove them just as easily and slip them into your pocket or purse.

Made from lightweight acetate, the clip-on won't add noticeable weight to your glasses. The 54mm lens width, 15mm bridge, and overall dimensions match the EL13511 frame precisely, ensuring a flush fit with no gaps or overhang. This precision fit is crucial—generic clip-ons often look clunky or don't align properly with your line of sight.

This is a clip-on only purchase. You'll need the Elle EL13511 base frame (available separately) to use this product. If you already own the EL13511 eyeglasses and lost or damaged your original clip-on, this is your replacement. The clip-on is compatible with prescription lenses in the base frame, including single-vision, progressive, and bifocal prescriptions.

For prescription eyeglass wearers who spend time both indoors and outdoors—commuting, running errands, or enjoying outdoor activities—clip-ons offer practical versatility. You get UV protection when you need it, clear vision when you don't, and you avoid the hassle of carrying two pairs of glasses or constantly switching between them.

Poor description

These should not be described as eyeglasses but as sunglass clip on for the eyeglasses. You are not actually getting a pair of eyeglasses. Without the glasses the clip on shades are useless.

I received my order but was surprised it did not come with the pair of eyeglasses , the photo shows the clip ons with the eyeglasses . I had a visit to my ophthalmologist and had a change in my my prescription and they have an optical section too so I had my Rx filled up by this Dep’t . Therefore , please provide me with a return slip, appreciate it and thank you. Maria Carmelita Zaragoza

Just perfect!

I purchased the Elle prescription glasses with the clip-on sunglasses last year. I lost the sunglasses pretty soon after. I was thrilled to be able to find a replacement that fits the prescription glasses perfectly. I wasn't sure when I ordered them but they worked out great.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this clip-on come with the eyeglass frames?

No, the Elle EL13511C is a clip-on only. The base eyeglass frame (Elle EL13511) is sold separately. This product is designed specifically as a replacement or add-on clip-on for customers who already own or are purchasing the EL13511 frame.

Will this clip-on fit my Elle EL13511 prescription glasses?

Yes, the Elle EL13511C is designed specifically to fit the Elle EL13511 eyeglass frame with precise measurements (54-15-146mm). The magnetic attachment ensures a secure, flush fit that aligns perfectly with your prescription lenses. It works with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal prescriptions.

How do magnetic clip-on sunglasses attach to my frames?

Magnetic clip-ons use embedded magnets in both the clip-on and the base frame to create a secure attachment. Simply bring the clip-on close to your eyeglasses and the magnets snap it into place automatically. This system prevents lens scratching and ensures consistent optical alignment, unlike traditional metal clips.

Do clip-on sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, quality clip-on sunglasses provide genuine UV protection when they include UV400-rated lenses. Clip-ons work just as effectively as prescription sunglasses for blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays, as long as they fit properly and cover your prescription lenses completely.

Are clip-on sunglasses better than photochromic (transition) lenses?

Clip-ons offer instant control—you decide when to add or remove sun protection. Photochromic lenses take time to darken and often don't activate fully inside cars due to UV-filtering windshields. Clip-ons also tend to be more affordable and can be easily replaced if lost or damaged.

Can I use this clip-on for driving?

Yes, clip-on sunglasses are excellent for driving. They reduce glare from windshields, pavement, and other vehicles, improving visual comfort and safety. The magnetic attachment stays secure during normal driving conditions, and you can quickly remove them when entering tunnels or parking garages.

Elle EL13511C Clip On vs. Complete Frame System

Understanding the difference between the Elle EL13511C clip-on and the complete Elle EL13511 eyeglass system is essential before making your purchase.

Clip-On Only (EL13511C) - $49.59

The EL13511C is the magnetic sunglass attachment only. It's the perfect choice if you already own the Elle EL13511 prescription eyeglasses and need a replacement clip-on, or if you're purchasing the base frame separately and want to add sun protection. At $49.59, it's an affordable way to convert your existing glasses into sunglasses without investing in a completely separate pair of prescription sunglasses.

Complete Frame (EL13511) - $107.06

The Elle EL13511 is the base eyeglass frame that holds your prescription lenses. This is what you wear daily for vision correction. It features a round shape with subtle cat-eye styling, lightweight acetate construction, and wire-core temples. The frame is prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. However, the base frame does not include the magnetic clip-on—that must be purchased separately.

The Complete System

For full functionality, you need both: the EL13511 base frame ($107.06) plus the EL13511C clip-on ($49.59), totaling $156.65. This gives you prescription eyeglasses that transform into sunglasses on demand. Compare this to purchasing separate prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses, which would typically cost $200-400+, and the value becomes clear.

Our Recommendation

If you're new to the Elle EL13511 system, budget for both the frame and clip-on to get the complete two-in-one eyewear experience. If you already own the EL13511 frame and lost or damaged your clip-on, the EL13511C replacement is exactly what you need. The magnetic attachment system ensures a perfect fit every time, and the three color options let you customize your look.
