Chemistrie: Custom Magnetic Clip-On Lenses for Prescription Glasses

Chemistrie by Eyenavision is America's best-selling custom clip-on lens system. Using a patented magnetic lens layering technology, Chemistrie Clips transform your everyday prescription eyeglasses into high-performance sunglasses, blue light filters, readers, and therapeutic lenses—all with a single, effortless click.

Unlike universal clip-on sunglasses that rely on pressure clips and one-size-fits-all frames, every Chemistrie Clip is custom-crafted to match the exact shape, contour, and base curve of your prescription lenses. Tiny 2mm neodymium magnets are embedded directly into your lenses, creating invisible anchor points for a seamless, virtually undetectable fit. No bulky hinges, no bent frames, no compromise.

The Complete Chemistrie Clip Lineup

Sun Clips — Polarized Clip-On Sunglasses

Convert your prescription glasses into premium polarized sunglasses with 24 polarized lens colors and 3 non-polarized options. Every Sun Clip provides 100% UVA and UVB protection with advanced polarization that eliminates reflected glare from water, snow, roads, and other surfaces. Choose from solid, mirror, and gradient lens styles to match your personal aesthetic. Starting at $175.

Reader Clips — On-Demand Magnification

Chemistrie Reader Clips deliver precise magnification from +0.50 to +2.50 for reading, crafts, and detail work. Crafted from ultra-thin Hi-Vex material with a soothing anti-reflective coating, Reader Clips are the ideal solution for presbyopes who aren't ready for progressive lenses or need convenient on-demand near vision without carrying separate reading glasses.

Blue Light Clips — Digital Screen Protection

Engineered to filter high-energy blue light from digital devices, Chemistrie Blue Light Clips reduce eye strain, fatigue, and headaches during long screen sessions. Available in plano or with intermediate add powers up to +2.00, making them perfect for computer-distance tasks like email, reading, and paperwork. Simply click on when you sit down at your screen, and off when you're done.

Migraine Clips — Clinically Proven Avulux Technology

Featuring exclusive Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses—the only migraine lens proven effective in gold-standard, double-blind clinical trials—Chemistrie Migraine Clips block up to 97% of harmful blue, amber, and red light wavelengths that trigger and worsen migraine attacks, while allowing over 70% of soothing green light to pass through. A breakthrough partnership between Eyenavision and Avulux, launched in 2024.

Light Sensitivity Clips — FL-41 Therapeutic Tint

Designed for those living with photophobia and light-triggered discomfort, Chemistrie Light Sensitivity Clips feature FL-41 tinted lenses that selectively filter the blue-green wavelengths most associated with light sensitivity. Available in Light (20%) and Medium (50%) tint intensities, these therapeutic clips provide relief from fluorescent lighting, bright screens, and harsh outdoor environments.

Night Driving Clips — Glare-Control Technology

Built with Quantum Innovations' revolutionary glare-control hardcoat, Chemistrie Night Driving Clips filter light between 565–595nm to reduce headlight glare, sharpen color contrast, and improve the visibility of road signs, lane markings, and traffic signals at night. Click on for safer, more comfortable nighttime driving.

3D Clips — Cinema & Home Theater

Circular polarized clips optimized for RealD Cinema and passive 3D displays. Chemistrie 3D Clips deliver immersive depth perception without the discomfort of wearing disposable theater glasses over your prescription frames. Reusable, lightweight, and custom-fit for every screening.

How Chemistrie's Patented Magnetic System Works

The Chemistrie system is built on a patented magnetic lens layering technology developed by Eyenavision in Pittsburgh, PA. Here's how it works:

1. Customize your clip online — Choose your lens type, color, and any add power options.
2. Send your glasses or shop clip-ready frames — Mail us your existing glasses with a prepaid shipping label, or browse our collection of frames that come pre-equipped with the Chemistrie magnetic system.
3. Precision magnet installation — Tiny 2mm neodymium magnets are embedded directly into your prescription lenses, creating invisible anchor points that don't affect your vision or the appearance of your frames.
4. Click on, click off — Your custom Chemistrie Clip snaps into perfect magnetic alignment every time. Switch between clips in under a second—sun protection outdoors, blue light filtering at your desk, readers for a menu.

Why Choose Chemistrie Over Prescription Sunglasses?

A single pair of prescription sunglasses can cost $300–$600 or more. With Chemistrie, you can own multiple clip-on lenses for different conditions—all on the same pair of glasses—at a fraction of the cost. Switch from polarized grey for driving to mirrored blue for the beach to gradient brown for outdoor dining, all without buying separate prescription frames for each.

Compared to traditional clip-on sunglasses that use spring-loaded clips, Chemistrie's magnetic system eliminates frame damage, lens scratching, and the awkward protruding profile that comes with mechanical attachments. And unlike bulky fit-over sunglasses, Chemistrie Clips are sleek, lightweight, and virtually invisible when worn.

Trusted by Eye Care Professionals Nationwide

Since 2005, Chemistrie has been the clip-on lens of choice for independent eye care professionals across the country. With over one million clips sold, fabricated by more than 100 optical labs, and available through 5,000+ independent optical retailers in the U.S. and worldwide, Chemistrie is the industry standard for custom magnetic clip-on lenses.
