DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Flexon FLX1005MGC CLIP eyeglasses are magnetic clip-on sunglasses designed to work with the Flexon FLX1005 frame. Part of Flexon's innovative Magnetics collection, these clip-ons use hidden magnets embedded in the frame to provide secure, instant sun protection without fumbling with traditional clip mechanisms.

The square-shaped clip features dark grey polarized lenses that reduce glare and provide 100% UV protection. The magnetic attachment system holds the clip firmly in place during wear, yet removes effortlessly when you step indoors. This design eliminates the need to carry a separate pair of prescription sunglasses—just snap the clip on when you need it, pull it off when you don't.

Available in three matte finishes—Matte Black, Matte Gunmetal, and Matte Coffee—the FLX1005MGC CLIP matches the corresponding base frame colors for a cohesive look. The full-rim acetate construction is lightweight and durable, designed to complement the square frame shape perfectly. Each clip is precision-engineered to align with the FLX1005's lens dimensions, ensuring complete coverage without gaps or misalignment.

These clip-ons are prescription-ready when paired with the FLX1005 base frame, making them ideal for anyone who needs vision correction but wants the flexibility of sunglasses on demand. Ideal for driving, outdoor time, or bright daylight, the magnetic clip-on system offers a practical, cost-effective alternative to purchasing multiple pairs of prescription eyewear.

The FLX1005MGC CLIP works exclusively with the Flexon FLX1005 frame (sold separately or as part of the FLX1005MAG-SET bundle). The magnets are strategically placed to ensure a secure fit that won't shift or fall off during normal activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Flexon FLX1005MGC CLIP sunglasses polarized?

Yes, the FLX1005MGC CLIP features polarized lenses that significantly reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement. The dark grey polarized lenses also provide 100% UV protection, making them ideal for driving and outdoor activities where glare reduction and eye protection are essential.

Do these clip-ons work with prescription lenses?

Yes, the FLX1005MGC CLIP is designed to attach magnetically to the Flexon FLX1005 prescription eyeglass frame. When you have prescription lenses installed in the base FLX1005 frame, the magnetic clip-on sunglasses layer over them, giving you prescription sunglasses functionality without needing a separate prescription sun pair.

Will the magnetic clip-on scratch my prescription lenses?

When used properly, magnetic clip-ons like the FLX1005MGC CLIP are designed not to scratch your lenses. The magnets hold the clip securely without direct contact with the lens surface. However, you should attach and remove the clip carefully and check regularly for any debris between the clip and your glasses that could cause scratching.

How do the magnets work on Flexon magnetic clip-on glasses?

The FLX1005MGC CLIP uses Flexon's patented magnetic technology with hidden magnets embedded in both the clip-on and the base FLX1005 frame. The magnets are strategically placed to lock the clip securely onto the frame, providing a stable fit that won't shift during wear. To remove, simply pull the clip away from the frame—the magnetic hold is strong enough for security but easy enough for quick transitions.

Can I buy the FLX1005MGC CLIP separately or does it come with the frame?

The FLX1005MGC CLIP can be purchased separately as a replacement or additional clip-on accessory for those who already own the Flexon FLX1005 base frame. It's also available as part of the FLX1005MAG-SET bundle, which includes both the prescription-ready base frame and the magnetic clip-on sunglasses together.

What is Flexon memory metal and why does it matter?

Flexon frames feature memory metal—a titanium-nickel alloy originally developed for NASA—that allows the frames to be bent, twisted, or flexed and return to their original shape. This makes Flexon eyewear exceptionally durable and resistant to damage from accidental drops or sitting on your glasses. The FLX1005 base frame uses this technology for long-lasting wear.

Flexon FLX1005MGC CLIP vs. Similar Magnetic Clip-Ons

If you're considering the Flexon FLX1005MGC CLIP, you're likely weighing it against other magnetic clip-on options in the Flexon Magnetics collection. Here's how it compares to similar models available at Designer Optics.

FLX1005MGC CLIP vs. FLX1006MGC CLIP

Both the FLX1005MGC CLIP and the FLX1006MGC CLIP are priced identically at $84.92 and feature the same magnetic attachment technology with polarized lenses. The primary difference lies in the base frame design: the FLX1005 offers a square shape, while the FLX1006 has slightly different proportions. Both require their respective base frames (FLX1005 or FLX1006) to function. If you prefer a classic square look with balanced proportions, the FLX1005MGC is your best choice. If you already own the FLX1006 frame or prefer its specific dimensions, the FLX1006MGC is the compatible option.

FLX1005MGC CLIP vs. FLX1000MGC CLIP

The FLX1000MGC CLIP is another identically priced option ($84.92) with strong customer reviews praising its optical quality and ease of use. The FLX1000MGC works with the FLX1000 base frame, which has a rectangle shape rather than the FLX1005's square design. Both offer the same magnetic convenience and polarized UV protection. Choose the FLX1005MGC if you prefer square frames that suit round or oval face shapes, or the FLX1000MGC if you prefer a rectangle frame that complements square or heart-shaped faces.

FLX1005MGC CLIP vs. 810MGC CLIP

For budget-conscious shoppers, the Flexon 810MGC CLIP offers similar magnetic clip-on functionality at a lower price ($72.62–$76.92). It features the same polarized lenses and magnetic attachment system but requires the Flexon 810 base frame. The 810MGC has a rectangle shape and comes in three color options. If you're looking to save approximately $8–$12 and don't mind the rectangle shape, the 810MGC is a solid value. However, if you specifically want the square shape and already own or plan to purchase the FLX1005 frame, the FLX1005MGC CLIP is the precise match you need.

Bottom line: The FLX1005MGC CLIP is the ideal choice if you own or are purchasing the Flexon FLX1005 base frame and want the convenience of magnetic clip-on sunglasses. Its square shape, polarized lenses, and secure magnetic attachment make it a practical, cost-effective alternative to buying separate prescription sunglasses.
