All Ozeano single-vision prescription sunglasses are fitted with market-leading polarised lenses. Please allow up to 20 days for delivery of prescription orders. Our premium prescription sunglasses lenses feature:
- Polarisation filter that blocks 99% of all glare and increases visual clarity, creating a lens that is perfect for exploring nature in high glare environments
- Anti-scratch coatings that offer superior protection against marks and dramatically increases the robustness and longevity of the lens

Design
The Wategos prescription sunglasses are an inspired tribute to Wategos Beach, the picturesque gem nestled just below the famous Cape Byron Lighthouse in Byron Bay.
These sustainable prescription sunglasses provide a classic yet modern look thanks to their timeless round design and versatile aesthetic. Featuring circular market-leading polarised lenses in a sleek frame, the Wategos oozes class and is a cool all-rounder.
These black prescription sunglasses are named Orca, after the striking areas of shiny black colour that's synonymous with the treasured marine mammals.
