5 Tips to choosing uv protection sunglasses
TIP #1: Check for UV labeling
When purchasing your next pair of authentic sunglasses, it is important not to ignore the aspect of UV protection. You should actually be purchasing these sunglasses to save your eyes from the harsh rays of the sun, not only to look fashionable. In order to make sure you are purchasing UV protection sunglasses, check the packaging of the item, or look for a label on the product itself marked with the details of polarization and UV protection offered. In most cases, uv protection sunglasses are clearly marked on a sticker, usually on the lens , or on a hangtag attached to the sunglass frame.
TIP #2: Avoid imitations!
Examine the brand logo and model # of your desired UV protection sunglasses closely as well as the craftsmanship of the item. Authentic sunglass brands will have this information clearly marked somewhere on the product. You should also look the product up online to verify that the model # and product information match what is on the manufacturer's website. Authentic branded sunglasses will come packaged with original casing and a certificate of authenticity.
TIP #3: Choose the right colored lens
Brown/gray/green—Brown, gray and green lenses are color-neutral, which means they cut down on overall brightness without distorting colors. These darker shades are intended primarily to cut through the glare and reduce eyestrain in moderate-to-bright conditions.
Yellow/gold/amber—Yellow, gold and amber lenses provide less overall brightness protection, but excel in moderate-to-low level light conditions. They provide excellent depth perception, which makes them perfect for skiing, snowboarding and other snow sports. They also enhance contrasts in tricky, flat-light conditions.
Rose/vermilion—Rose- and vermilion-colored glasses really do make the world seem brighter. They provide excellent low-light visibility and enhance contrast (perfect for skiing and snowboarding in cloudy conditions). They also enhance the visibility of objects against blue and green backgrounds, which makes them ideal for driving or exploring in forested areas.
Mirrored or flash coating—this refers to a reflective film applied to the outside surfaces of some sunglass lenses. They reduce glare by reflecting much of the light that hits the lens surface. Mirrored coatings make objects appear darker than they are, so lighter tints are often used to compensate for this
TIP#4: Consider the lens material
Every lens is not made out of the same quality materials. These different materials used in your sunglasses lenses affect their clarity, weight, durability and cost.
Glass—PROS: Superior optical clarity; superior scratch-resistance. CONS: Heavier than others; expensive; glass will "spider" when impacted (but not chip or shatter).
NXT polyurethane—PROS: Superior impact-resistance; excellent optical clarity; flexible and lightweight. CONS: Expensive.
Polycarbonate—PROS: Excellent impact-resistance; Very Good optical clarity; affordable; lightweight and low bulk. CONS: Less scratch-resistance; slightly less optical-clarity than glass or NXT.
Acrylic—PROS: Inexpensive alternative to polycarbonate, best suited for casual or occasional-use sunglasses. CONS: Less durable and optically clear than polycarbonate or glass; some image distortion.
TIP#5: Get the Right Fit
The sunglasses you choose should be in proportion with your face size and shape. This means that smaller sunglasses are best for smaller faces; larger sunglasses for larger faces. The frame shape should contrast with, that is, be the opposite of, the shape of the face. For example, if you have a:
Round face - choose a bold, square, or angular frame.
Oval face – you can choose almost any frame
Square face- choose an oval or round frame
Oblong face- choose an angular, flat top, or geometric frame
Heart face- choose an oval, round, or aviator frame
