DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Eddie Bauer EB32038C Clip On turns your EB32038 prescription glasses into sunglasses. It uses magnets to attach securely to the matching base frame, so you get sun protection without buying a separate pair of prescription sunglasses.

The images show two versions: a matte gray-beige frame with dark gray lenses, and a navy blue frame with blue-tinted lenses. Both have a rectangular shape that matches the EB32038 base frame. The magnets are built into the frame, so there are no visible clips or hardware sticking out when attached.

How Magnetic Clip-Ons Work

Instead of buying prescription sunglasses or switching between two pairs of frames, you attach and remove this clip-on as needed. The magnets hold it in place more securely than old-style spring clips, and the close fit blocks light from the sides while keeping your full field of vision. Attaching or removing it is quick—useful when you're moving in and out of buildings or driving through tunnels.

The EB32038C is made from acetate, which keeps it lightweight. The full-rim design covers the lenses completely for better UV protection. It's designed to fit the EB32038 base frame.

Affordable and Practical

At under $50, this clip-on costs much less than prescription sunglasses, which usually run $200–$400. When your prescription changes, you only replace the lenses in the base frame—the clip-on still works. It's compact enough to store in the included case without taking up much space in your bag.

A little expensive but I needed it. Good quality though!

Lost my original magnetic clip-ons and really missed them. My eye doctor could only charge me for a completely new pair, so I found these instead.

Too expensive, but better than paying $150+ for a new pair. Shipping was super fast (NY -> NY), I received overnight.

Perfect replacement

My husband lost his magnetic sunglasses attachment. These were a lifesaver.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Eddie Bauer EB32038C Clip On designed for?

The EB32038C is a magnetic clip-on sunglass attachment designed specifically for the Eddie Bauer EB32038 eyeglass frame. It uses embedded magnets to snap securely onto the base frame, instantly converting your prescription glasses into sunglasses. This clip-on is not a standalone product—it requires the matching EB32038 frame to function properly.

How do magnetic clip-on sunglasses attach to eyeglasses?

Magnetic clip-ons use small neodymium magnets embedded in both the base frame and the clip-on panel at matching points near the bridge and temples. When you hold the clip-on in front of your glasses, the magnets automatically align and snap into place, creating a secure, flush fit. The attachment takes just seconds and requires no manual clips or pressure points that could scratch your lenses.

Can I use the EB32038C clip-on with prescription lenses?

Yes, the EB32038C is designed to work with prescription lenses installed in the Eddie Bauer EB32038 base frame. The clip-on attaches over your prescription glasses, providing sun protection while maintaining your corrected vision. This makes it an affordable alternative to purchasing separate prescription sunglasses, and when your prescription changes, you only need to update the base frame lenses.

What are the benefits of clip-on sunglasses versus prescription sunglasses?

Clip-on sunglasses offer significant cost savings—typically under $50 compared to $200–$400 for prescription sunglasses. They're also more convenient for people who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments, as you can attach or remove them in seconds rather than switching between two complete pairs of glasses. Additionally, clip-ons adapt to prescription changes without needing replacement, providing years of use.

Will the magnetic clip-on scratch my prescription lenses?

When used correctly, magnetic clip-ons should not scratch your lenses. The magnetic attachment system eliminates the need for spring clips or pressure points that contact the lens surface. The clip-on sits flush against the front of the frame, and the magnets hold it securely in place without direct lens contact. Always handle the clip-on carefully during attachment and removal to minimize any risk.

What colors are available for the Eddie Bauer EB32038C Clip On?

The EB32038C is available in three color variants: Gray (GR) with dark gray lenses, Blue (BL) with blue-tinted lenses, and Black (BK). Each color is designed to match the corresponding Eddie Bauer EB32038 base frame variant. The clip-on comes with a protective case for safe storage when not in use.

Eddie Bauer EB32038C vs. Other Eddie Bauer Clip-Ons

The Eddie Bauer clip-on collection offers several magnetic attachment options, but it's important to understand that each clip-on is designed for a specific base frame. The EB32038C works exclusively with the EB32038 eyeglass frame—it won't fit other models.

EB32038C vs. EB32046C

Both the EB32038C and the Eddie Bauer EB32046C use the same magnetic attachment technology and share the $45.89 price point. The key difference is frame compatibility: the EB32046C is designed for the EB32046 base frame, which has a 53mm eye size compared to the EB32038's 56mm. If you prefer a slightly smaller frame, the EB32046 system might be a better fit. Both offer the same quick-attach convenience and multiple color options.

EB32038C vs. EB32039C

The Eddie Bauer EB32039C is another popular clip-on at the same price. Customer reviews highlight the convenience of having replacement clip-ons available when the original is lost or damaged. Like the EB32038C, it's frame-specific and won't work with other models. Choose based on which base frame style (EB32038 or EB32039) better suits your face shape and personal preference.

Complete System: EB32038C + EB32038 Base Frame

To use the EB32038C, you'll need the Eddie Bauer EB32038 base frame ($93.68). The EB32038 features a bold rectangular acetate construction with spring hinges and is available in Black, Blue, and Grey to match your clip-on. The total system cost is around $140, which is still significantly less than purchasing separate prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses (typically $300–$500 combined).

The advantage of the clip-on system is long-term value: when your prescription changes, you only replace the base frame lenses, not the clip-on. This makes it a smart investment for anyone whose vision is still changing or who wants maximum flexibility without the expense of multiple prescription pairs.
