Eddie Bauer EB32046C Clip On vs. Base Frame & Alternatives
The Eddie Bauer EB32046C Clip On is a magnetic sunglass accessory designed specifically for the Eddie Bauer EB32046 prescription eyeglass frame. Understanding how it compares to the base frame and other Eddie Bauer clip-on options helps you make the right choice for your eyewear needs.
EB32046C Clip On vs. EB32046 Base Frame
The EB32046 base frame ($91.52-$93.68) is the prescription eyeglass frame that the EB32046C clip-on attaches to. The base frame is prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. At $45.89, the EB32046C clip-on adds polarized sun protection to your prescription glasses without requiring a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. Together, they create a complete two-in-one eyewear system that's more affordable than buying prescription sunglasses separately.
Why choose the clip-on system? You get instant sun protection that attaches magnetically in seconds, eliminate the need to carry two complete pairs of glasses, and save money compared to purchasing prescription sunglasses. The magnetic attachment is secure, sleek, and adds minimal weight to your frames.
Comparing Eddie Bauer Clip-On Models
Eddie Bauer offers multiple clip-on models (EB32038C, EB32039C, EB32037C, and others) all priced at $45.89. Each clip-on is designed for a specific base frame and is not interchangeable between different frame models. The EB32046C features a rectangle shape with full-rim acetate construction and is available in Brown, Navy, and Black colorways.
All Eddie Bauer clip-ons share the same core benefits: magnetic attachment, polarized lenses, 100% UV protection, and lightweight construction. The key difference is frame compatibility—you must match the clip-on model number to your base frame for proper fit and function.
Our Recommendation
If you own or are purchasing the Eddie Bauer EB32046 prescription frame, the EB32046C clip-on is the perfect complement. It provides instant sun protection, reduces glare for driving and outdoor activities, and offers exceptional value at $45.89. The magnetic system is more convenient and stylish than traditional mechanical clips, and the polarized lenses deliver superior optical performance. For prescription eyeglass wearers who want versatile, affordable sun protection, the Eddie Bauer clip-on system is an excellent choice.
