What to look for in Sunglasses?
Here are two things to check in a pair of sunglasses to ensure maximum benefits.
Opt for 100% UV protection
UV protection is a must feature in sunglasses. It saves your eye from muscular degeneration, cataracts, and other vision-related issues.
So make sure the sunglasses you buy, offer 100% UV protection and not just a trendy design that won’t save your eyes.
Buy polarized + UV protected glasses
Polarized glasses are helpful in reducing the glaring effect that is caused by light reflecting from surfaces.
While wearing glasses the glaring effect can make you uncomfortable that is why a polarized lens is very helpful. For maximum benefits try to get a pair with a polarized and a UV-protected lens.
