Buy Sunglasses That Not Only Look Good But Will Protect Your Eyes

Most of us wouldn't go out in the hot sun without at least one application of sunscreen. However, many still risk damage to their eyes without the proper UV protection good quality sunglasses can provide. Buying a pair of sunglasses with UV filtering will make sure you are protected and let you enjoy yourself in the sun.

The number one tip is to always make sure you are wearing sunglasses with at least 99% UV protection when you are in the sun no matter what month of the year it is. 

Skiers and snowboarders need to make sure they are protected however odd this may sound. While the air is chilly, the harmful rays can reflect off the snow during winter and increase their intensity. There is no point in taking the risk of retina damage or increasing your chances for developing cataracts, which has been linked to extended UV radiation exposure.

If you want a good pair of sunglasses for wearing while driving, you may want to check out polarised lenses. These type of lens usually offer UV protection and will help to reduce the glare of the sun of those bright days while out in the car. Wrap around Oakley sunglasses also offer additional protection while you are out and about. Choose brown, green or grey lenses and the larger the lenses are, generally the more protection they will offer. 

It is always a good idea to buy your sunglasses (whether it be offline or online) from a licensed supplier of branded goods. This is not just to ensure you really are getting authentic Chanel sunglasses, D&G sunglasses or other brand you choose. Buying from unauthorised vendors or from street markets is very risky and there is no guarantee that the shades will offer the level of protection against UR rays required.
