Fashion-Forward Prescription Glasses That Feel Like You
Prescription glasses should empower – never compromise.
At Shade Files, we love new-age eyewear, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing optical quality. That’s why we offer sunglasses and glasses for crystal clear vision that still feel bold, fashion-forward, and uniquely you.

Whether you’re shopping for everyday specs or sunglasses with your script, we’ve got prescription glasses for sale that fit your vision and your style.
We See Prescription Eyewear Differently
Since 2018, we’ve been creating prescription eyeglasses from our very own in-house Frame Lab, as well as from tons of alternative, new-age eyewear brands.
From the very beginning, we’ve loved sculptural shapes, bold colours, and frames with standout character. Every pair we stock is ready to elevate your look, not fade into the background.
Why Choose Prescription Lenses from Shade Files
Your vision deserves more than just “clear.” It should feel sharp, comfortable, and true to who you are. That’s why we:
- Offer prescription lenses for every lifestyle, from single vision to progressive, blue light protection to tinted sunnies.
- Partner with brands that love style and substance just as much as we do: Frame Lab, Chimi, Szade, and more.
- Make choosing lenses easy. Just “Add Prescription” at checkout or drop by our Prahran store!
Our Favourite Eyewear Looks
As far as we’re concerned, your frames should reflect who you are.
Love structured lines? You’ll feel at home with rectangle sunglasses or optical styles that echo minimalist chic. Prefer something soft and effortless? Round sunglasses and frames bring retro-cool energy.
If you’re into oversized sunglasses, we’ve got plenty of chic, prescription-ready styles you’ll love, and if you’re all about fun pops of colour, we have you covered. Take a look at our coloured frame sunglasses and funky coloured lens sunglasses!
Whatever your style, we’ve got the prescription glasses to match.
We’re Health Fund Friendly Too!
If you’ve got private health insurance with extras cover, you might be able to claim part of your prescription glasses purchase. And we’re here to make it easy.
Bring your health fund card in-store and we’ll process your claim on the spot. Prefer to shop online? No worries! We’ll send you an itemised receipt that you can use to lodge your claim directly.
