How to Choose the Best Sunglasses?
These are the most important considerations when buying sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun:
1. One hundred percent.
When buying sunglasses to protect your eyes, the most important thing is a sticker or label that says they block 100% of the UV rays. However, according to the 2014 National Sunshine Safety Survey of the College, less than half of the people who bought sunglasses could not check whether the lenses could protect their eyes from ultraviolet radiation.
2. The larger the lens, the better.
The greater the coverage of sunglasses, the less sun damage to the eyes. Consider purchasing oversized glasses or wrap around glasses, which will help reduce the amount of UV rays that enter the eyes from the side.
3. Darker lenses cannot be better protected.
Although very dark lenses may look cool, they do not necessarily block more UV light.
4. Color doesn't matter.
Some sunglasses have amber, green or grey lenses. They do not block more sunlight, but they can increase contrast, which may be useful for players playing sports such as baseball or golf. Polarized lenses cut glare, not UV.
5. Polarization can reduce glare scattered from reflective surfaces such as water or road. This does not provide more sun protection, but it can make driving or water activities safer or more enjoyable.
6. Cost should not be a factor.
Sunglasses don't cost much to work well. The cheaper pair labeled 100% UV blocking can be as effective as the more expensive option.
