With the summer heat becoming more intense, it is always better to protect your eyes against UV rays using sunglasses. Sunglasses, depending on their shapes or features protect your eyes and serve as accessories to your peepers. Here are a few tips you can consider when buying your next pair of shades.

UV Protection

UV rays can damage the eyes so it is always better to choose sunglasses with at least 90% to 100% UV protection. Look for stickers on the lenses to know the amount of UV protection included in the sunglasses. This amount of UV protection can block out the sun rays and gives the ultimate protection for your eyes.

Size

When buying a new pair of shades, make sure you buy one that can cover your eye area right up to the brows. The skin of the eyelids are vulnerable to UV damage so it’s important to select frames that prevent the bright light from entering your eye area. You can consider wraparound lenses or close-fitting glasses with wide lenses.

Color

Although the color of the lenses doesn’t necessarily help in blocking UV rays, they make a difference on how you see the environment. The most advisable lense is gray as it provides the least color distortion. However, you can also opt for green tinted lenses as they reduce glare and provide good contrast between objects.

Quality

When purchasing sunglasses, buy only at optical or department stores to get the full protection you need. Imitations or knock-offs offer no UV protection and can even cause damage to your eyes.

Choosing the right pair of sunglasses this summer will protect your eyes against the harmful consequences of sunlight. Just follow these tips and spend the summer with confidence and style.
