Sunglasses are major fashion accessories, but have you ever thought at their true purpose ? I know that a smart outfit is always complemented by a good quality sunglass.Buying sunglasses in these days can be a little hard, all because you have to look at a dozen of things when you buy something, like different styles shapes, colors, lens, materials that are made from, different designer brands.But in this guide we will look for something else : quality and protection of our eyes.
Unfortunately some are no more than disposable glasses, cheaply made that do little to protect your eyes and will scratch the first time you clean them.It's nice when you find a pair that is so comfortable you barely know you're wearing them. You'll probably wear them more and keep your eyes protected.Sunglasses may be vital for protecting the eyes, but they are also great accessories for looking stylish and individual.
So let's start ...
Check the quality of the frames.Fames styles are a personal preference.We can choose frames made from metal, nylon, carbon fibre and plastic.A good fishing frame should give you good coverage and eliminates the amount of light that comes into your eye around the frame.It's very important to choose a frame that fits your face, but also your style. If the temples are too tight, they can cause headaches.
Eye safety is the most important ! Most sunglass frames and lenses are not strong enough to resist the impact of a tennis ball or baseball. Broken frames and/or lenses can cause very serious eye injuries, so be careful when you buy them.
Read the labels carefully to determine if the sunglasses provide total protection against UVA and UVB.Look out for glasses carrying the European Standard 'CE' Mark and the British Standard BSEN 1836:1997, which ensure that the sunglasses offer a safe level of UV protection.Do not be misled into thinking that dark lens offers higher protection or lighter lens provides better visibility. Read the labels carefully to find the level of protection and visibility offered.Search for 100% UV protection, because you want 100% protection for your eyes.
Lens color is another thing that people who spend a lot of time in the outdoors should pay attention to.Anti-reflective lenses. Lenses with an anti-reflexive coating don’t provide much protection from rays, but reduce glare coming off glasses, a benefit to people looking at you. These coatings also provide the added benefit of protecting lenses from scratches.
Blue light can cause degeneration of retina, leading to loss of eyesight. This is called macular degeneration. Your sunglasses should be able to block blue light as much as possible. To ensure this, wear the sunglasses outdoor and look up at the sky. If the blue sky appears gray, the glasses can block the blue light. Find out about polarization, which is the filter, responsible for reducing glare.
At the end of this article I want to make you aware that not just design or fashion influence is the most important fact when you choose sunglasses.
Think first at your health.Fashion is not your health and if you don't take care of you who should take care ?
