Our range of Burberry sunglasses for women offers plenty of functional yet opulent designs. Thomas Burberry founded his eponymous label in 1856 with an array of waterproof outwear. Today, Burberry still produces pieces for the changeable British weather, with a dose of sun protection in there too, in the form of tinted eyewear. Across our collection of Burberry ladies' sunglasses, you can expect dramatic silhouettes designed to excite the fashion-forward. Cat-eye frames provide a vintage-inspired glamour, while oversized geometric glasses offer an ultra-modern aesthetic. If you like to keep things classic, opt for a pair with tortoiseshell frames. For a slice of boho style, sunglasses encased in sleek metal shapes make an excellent choice. Luxury details appear throughout, including logo plaques, gold-tone bridges and acetate trims. Looking for an accessory with a pop of colour? Our selection includes the vibrant hues of neon orange, dusty pink and zesty green.You can see that the prescription has a right (R) and left eye (L) which is then broken down into Sph, Cyl and Axis sections with values written in the relevant boxes. There is also a 'Near Add' part which is sometimes referred to as the Add' or 'Addition. The value should always be the same for both your right eye and left eye and you need to enter this value if you would like reading glasses.
