Helpful Tips to Choose A Sunglass

by Rudrajit Chakraborty Digital Marketing Expert
A pair of designer sunglasses is a great fashion accessory to have. It goes with all kinds of outfits and matches with every look and style. Sunglasses make a bold fashion statement. But sunglasses are more than just about maintaining the fashion quotient. They are important protection gears for our eyes. Sunglasses are crucial in protecting our eyes from the harsh rays of the sun and UV radiation.

Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to a migraine, cataracts, macular degeneration and even, cancer. The UV rays from the sun are very harmful and can cause detrimental effects on our eyesight. Sunglasses also protect our eyes in extreme weather conditions, for example, in strong wind situations like a storm. Wearing a sunglass protects our eyes from dust particles blowing in the wind.

Designer sunglasses are an important accessory to have for all people. But in the earlier days, sunglasses were manufactured as a mass product and could not be customized individually. Hence, those with eyesight problems who have to wear spectacles at all times could not wear sunglasses. But today in the market, sunglasses with power lenses are readily available for people who wear spectacles.

Spectacles are custom made for each individual to suit his/her eyesight with vision correction lenses. In the same way, sunglasses with power lenses are also custom made for each individual. It combines the use of vision correction lenses with the fashion value of a stylish sunglass frame. It is the best of both worlds. By wearing these powered sunglasses, people can be protected from all the harmful effects of the sun, while also enjoying clear vision at all times.

Some useful tips to keep in mind when buying a new pair of sunglass are:

  • UV Protection-
The harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun can cause many problems like macular degeneration or in extreme cases, skin cancer around the eye area. It is of primary importance that any sunglass we buy must have UV protected lenses. The main function of a sunglass is to protect our eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. UV protection is a key feature of that. A good pair of designer sunglasses should ideally block at least 95% of UV rays. While buying a new pair, always check if the manufacturer is providing UV protection. A sunglass that does not have UV protected lenses will fail to provide any protection to your eyes.

  • Polarized Lenses-
One main function of wearing a sunglass is to block the sun’s harsh glare. The sunlight often gets reflected from shiny surfaces like a newly tarred road or glossily painted vehicles. This can make a simple activity like driving feel dangerous in extremely sunny conditions. Sunglasses with polarized lenses help to keep the reflective glare to a minimum. They are also more comfortable to wear because it reduces the glare from reaching your eyes. For people who suffer from a migraine after being in the sun, polarized sunglasses can help to effectively reduce any strain you feel in your eyes due to the sun.

  • Bigger Frames-
Sunglasses protect our eye area from the sun and wind. By wearing slightly bigger frames, we can protect more portion of our eye area from being exposed to the sun. It is advisable to but sunglasses with big frames to have more eye protection.
