Sunglasses not just a fashion accessory
Fact 2: Any pair of sunglasses should offer 100% UV protection. This should cover
UVA and UVB rays (UVC rays are absorbed by the earth's atmosphere) up to 400nm. Features such as
mirror coatings, anti-reflective coatings, and polarization are great and may increase comfort and
visibility but offer no additional protection against UV rays.
Fact 3: We get what we pay for. High quality sunglasses are certainly more expensive
than the 'shades' you buy at the petrol station. The difference lies in the quality. Many people believe
that buying high priced sunglasses simply means paying for a designer name. This is not so. Inexpensive
shades, even those that claim "100% UV protection" may not protect your eyes. Most of the time these
shades have a spray-on UV coating that will wear off over time, eventually exposing you to more harm
than if you were to wear nothing at all. Other drawbacks include poor optics that will distort your
vision, poorly made frames that fall apart after a couple of months, and no warranty to protect you as a
consumer against manufacturing defects.
