When shopping for sunglasses, what are
some things to consider? Sunglasses can be
bought just about anywhere. The quality of
sunglasses varies greatly as does the price.
Poor quality sunglasses will claim 100%
UV protection, but that is about all they
provide. Poor materials and manufacturing
will lead to discomfort and eyestrain. High
quality sunglasses will protect your eyes
from UV, blue light, and glare. Optical grade
sunglasses will also enhance your vision.
Some of the sunglass companies have their
own labs making it possible to get their
patented lenses in your prescription. Maui
Jim, Costa, and Ray Ban are a few of the
most well-known companies which have
this capability.
The style of sunglasses should not be
overlooked. Who doesn’t want to look
great in their sunglasses? The quality of
sunglasses can be all over the board and it is
difficult to know what qualities to look for
in selecting your next pair. How is one to
know what sunglasses designer to choose?
As eye care providers, we recommend
relying on those who are in the business
of protecting your eyes and enhancing
your vision. Optometric physicians
and licensed dispensing opticians are
educated and skilled in providing answers
to questions about vision and eye health.
Some fashion designers will license their
name to a sunglasses manufacturer without
consideration of the quality. When you
select a pair of sunglasses, it is the quality
of the frames and the optical clarity of the
lenses that we pay attention to the most.
Fashion is very important in your decision,
but the comfort of the frame and the visual
comfort and optical quality of the lenses
should rank at the top of your checklist.
