5 Things You Need To Know About Buying Sunglasses
The Academy of Ophthalmology and eye doctors say there are 5 things you need to know before you buy sunglasses.
It's summertime and everyone should have great eye gear. And great sunglasses don't have to be expensive.
- Every pair of sunglasses should have 100% U.V. protection.
- The bigger the sunglasses the better. They protect a larger area.
- The color of the lenses doesn't matter. Light or dark doesn't matter when it comes to U.V. protection.
- Polarized lenses do reduce glare. 'Polarized' doesn't mean U.V. protection. If you do choose to purchase polarized lenses make sure they have 100% U.V. protection.
- You don't have to spend a ton on sunglasses. Ten dollar sunglasses with 100% U.V. protection will work just as well as expensive sunglasses.
