Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory. They say something about one’s style and personality. But they also serve a much greater purpose then just letting the world know how hip, cool, and fashionable you are. A sunglass is a very important tool to help protect your eyes against harmful UV. Many people don’t know that sunglasses are just more then a standard frame with tinted lenses that you buy off a rack. There are many different components that go into just how well a pair of sunglasses will protect your eyes. That is why it is good to know what to look for when trying to pick the best sunglasses for yourself.
As opticians and dispensers, one of the most common questions we hear, when helping our patients choose the right sun protection is; “What is the Difference between non-polarized lenses and polarized lenses?” And “Do they really make a difference in the quality of my sunglasses?” Our main goal as eye care professionals is to provide each of our patients with the best knowledge regarding their sun protection. It is important when choosing polarized lenses, to know both the advantages and disadvantages. This will ensure that you are making the best choice in your sun protection.
