Factors to Consider while Buying Sunglasses

A pair of trendy sunglasses not only makes us look chic and fashionable but also makes our life easy and comfortable when we go outside. It gives us protection from the ultra-violate (UV) rays of the sun. Staying out on a sunny day can damage the eyes' surface and increase the risk of eye diseases; sunglasses protect our eyes. 

You can consider the following factors while buying yourself a pair of sunglasses:

UV Protection

The first factor needs to be an important one. Without getting overwhelmed with the cost and color, you need to check the capacity of the shades to block UV rays. The UV protection capacity of sunglasses neither depends on the price nor relies on the color or darkness of the lens. While both glass and plastic lenses absorb UV light, adding certain chemicals to the lens materials improves UV immersion. These chemicals are added during the manufacturing process at times; special lens coatings are also applied. Labels indicating ‘100 percent UV blocking’ in sunglasses are the same as labels with the note ‘UV absorption up to 400nm’. Hence, make sure you check the label, tag, or sticker before purchasing new sunglasses men’s.

Full Coverage

If you are buying optical sunglasses online, ensure that they are able to block enough light and screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light. Try to choose a uniform tint, darker shades, and bigger sizes. A wraparound-glasses or oversized glasses will give you full coverage and minimize the amount of radiation entering the eyes. Such frames offer better protection. While sunglasses come in various forms and materials, you need to choose as per your lifestyle, shape of the face, and skin tone. After all, besides protecting your eyes from the sun, they're also a staple fashion accessory!
