If you’re ready for a new pair of sunglasses, here are some tips for choosing sunglasses with the most protection:
- Look for a label that says “100% protection against both UVA and UVB” or “100% protection against UV 400.”
- Choose larger frames that cover the eyes and surrounding skin. Frames that wrap around the sides of the face offer the greatest protection.
- Buy from a reputable retailer. Be wary when purchasing sunglasses from online auction sites, street vendors or flea markets.
- These sunglass features do not play any role in UV protection:
-cost;
-lens color or tint;
-lens darkness;
-mirror-coating; and
-polarization.
Happy shopping! 😎
