Numbers Matter.
When you’re shopping for sunglasses, look for lenses that block 99-100% of the UV radiation, both UVA and UVB rays. And don’t think you’re protected- those harmful UV rays are reaching our eyes in many ways- reflecting off water, clouds, snow and even in the windows of buildings and passing cars.
Fit Matters.
Poorly fitted sunglasses may not be protecting you like you think. If glasses are uncomfortable, you may be less likely to actually wear them, and if they’re too small or too large, they may be letting light in from the sides. Athletes have the right idea with wraparound frames. For a great, designer inspired style, try A8-MP1001_DESIGNER_SUNGLASSES, they offer 100% UV protection in a great wraparound style to keep your eyes well protected.
Lenses Matter.
Polarized lenses deflect the glare but some don’t offer as much UV protection. Lenses made of real glass provide little protection at all. The best option? Polycarbonate plastic lenses; they’re tougher and provide adequate UV protection. Photochromic lenses are also good as they block the glare and UV radiation. Try style A8-M6257_DISCOUNT_SUNGLASSES for aviator style polarized sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection.
Function Matters.
For those who don’t like to wear sunglasses, options exist to keep your eyes protected. If you wear eyeglasses, try prescription sunglasses, tinting for your eyeglasses, or clip-on lenses that offer UV protection. New contact lenses also exist with enhanced UV protection, but sunglasses are still necessary for complete coverage.
