Not all sunglasses are created equal. When choosing sunglasses, it’s important to know what to look for. We have some quick tips to ensure you are getting the best protection.
- Look for a label that says 99-100 UV absorption or UV 400 Avoid sunglasses that simply say “absorbs UV”.
- Polarized lenses help cut glare allowing for crisper vision, but they do not add sun protection.
- Darker lens colors don’t necessarily mean better sun protection, as the UV protectant added to lenses is clear; even gray, green, yellow or rose lenses can offer adequate UV protection
- Sunglasses made from pressed plastic will lead to distorted vision when you look to the right or left; choose sunglasses with optically ground lenses for less distortion
- Larger frames and wraparound styles will shield more UV rays than smaller styles, as will close fitting glasses.
