  1. How To Wear Aviators As Prescription Sunglasses While aviators make excellent sunglasses for most people, as eyeglasses they are a little less forgiving. The fact that it is possible to see your eyes through the lenses, rather than having them obscured by tinted lenses, completely changes how wearable they are.

  2. Have a strong prescription As you may know, the larger your lens is, the thicker it gets. Negative/Minus prescriptions in particular get thicker at the outside edges of the lens, which can look unsightly, especially with metal frame styles.

  3. Have a strong astigmatism The large degree of wrap (base curve) common within most aviator styles can present a problem if you have a very strong astigmatism. Unless your optical positioning is very precisely calibrated (which most stock eyewear vendors don't achieve), you could experience peripheral distortion and/or disorientation.

  4. Have plus/positive prescriptions Positive prescriptions often magnify your eyes and make your eyes look larger to other people. The larger the lens, the more prominent this magnification effect can be.  With the aviator's signature large lens, people with positive prescriptions could experience undesirable levels of magnification.

  5. Have narrow-set eyes For a balanced look, you want your eyes roughly in the horizontal center third of the lens. If your eyes are set quite close together, glasses with wide lenses create the optical illusion of your eyes being squashed in the inner corners, which makes you appear cross eyed. With a very wide lens that droops down to the outside bottom corners, aviators are possibly the least forgiving style of all for you.

  6. Wear progressive lenses Although the aviator does offer a nice and large total lens area and good overall height, the trademark broad swoop of the lens away from the nose and towards the cheeks actually cuts right through the reading and middle distance "corridor" of a progressive lens, impairing versatility and performance.
