What should I look for when buying sunglasses?
When shopping for sunglasses, it's essential to consider several factors to ensure you choose the best pair for your needs. First and foremost, opt for sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection, as this is crucial for maintaining optimal eye health. Additionally, polarised lenses can significantly reduce glare, enhance color perception, and improve visual clarity, making them a great choice for outdoor activities and driving. Furthermore, select sunglasses made from high-quality, durable materials to ensure longevity and comfort.

Do all sunglasses offer UV protection?
Contrary to popular belief, not all sunglasses provide adequate UV protection. While many sunglasses feature dark lenses or trendy designs, they may not necessarily shield your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays. To ensure your sunglasses offer sufficient protection, check for labels specifying "100% UV protection" or "UV400." Moreover, consider purchasing sunglasses from reputable brands or opticians to guarantee the lenses meet essential safety standards.

How can I tell if sunglasses provide adequate UV protection?
Identifying sunglasses with adequate UV protection involves a combination of factors. First, examine the product label or manufacturer's specifications to confirm the lenses provide 100% UV protection or meet UV400 standards. Lenses meeting these criteria effectively block both UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, consider the quality and reputation of the brand or retailer when assessing the sunglasses' UV protection. A higher price doesn't always indicate better UV protection, but reputable manufacturers are more likely to offer reliable UV-protective lenses.

What's the difference between polarised and non-polarised lenses?
Polarised and non-polarised lenses differ primarily in their ability to manage glare, colour perception, and visual clarity. Polarised lenses contain a specialised filter that significantly reduces glare by blocking intense, reflected light. This results in enhanced color perception, improved visual clarity, and reduced eye strain, particularly in bright sunlight. Non-polarised lenses, on the other hand, may not offer these benefits and can be less effective at minimising glare. As such, polarised lenses are often preferred for outdoor activities and driving, where glare reduction can significantly improve vision and comfort.

Are expensive sunglasses better than cheaper ones?
While the price of sunglasses may sometimes indicate overall quality, it doesn't necessarily determine their ability to provide adequate UV protection. Inexpensive sunglasses can still offer 100% UV protection if they meet proper safety standards. That said, more expensive sunglasses often boast superior materials, craftsmanship, and lens technologies, such as polarisation or photochromic adaptation. Ultimately, prioritise UV protection and find sunglasses that meet your needs without breaking the bank.

How do I know which frame size and style will fit me best?
To determine the most flattering frame size and style, first consider your face shape – round, oval, square, or heart-shaped. As a general rule, opt for frames that contrast with your face shape, such as angular frames for round faces or rounded frames for square faces. Additionally, ensure the frame size doesn't overwhelm or underwhelm your facial features. Try on various styles in person or use online virtual try-on tools to gauge how different frames complement your unique features. Lastly, consider the sunglasses' comfort and weight, as these factors can impact long-term wearability.

Can I wear sunglasses with contact lenses?
Yes, wearing sunglasses with contact lenses is not only possible but also highly recommended for optimal eye protection. Sunglasses with UV-protective lenses can further shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, even while wearing contacts with built-in UV protection. However, ensure your contact lenses fit comfortably and are clean before wearing sunglasses to minimize irritation or discomfort. Additionally, consider opting for polarised lenses to reduce glare and further enhance visual clarity while wearing contacts.
How do I clean and maintain my sunglasses?
Cleaning and maintaining your sunglasses involves regular care and proper handling to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you maintain your sunglasses:
- Use the right cleaning materials: Opt for a microfiber cleaning cloth and a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for sunglasses. Avoid using paper towels, tissue paper, or household cleaning products, as these can scratch or damage your lenses.
- Gently remove dirt and debris: Begin by rinsing your sunglasses with cool water to remove any loose dirt or debris. Then, apply a small amount of cleaning solution to your microfiber cloth and gently wipe the lenses and frame, using circular motions to avoid streaks.
- Rinse and dry your sunglasses: After cleaning, rinse your sunglasses with cool water and dry them with a clean, lint-free cloth. Ensure the lenses are completely dry before wearing or storing your sunglasses.
- Properly store your sunglasses: Keep your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches, breakage, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Avoid placing your sunglasses lens-down on any surface, as this may lead to scratches or other damage.
- Handle with care: To minimise the risk of damage, always use both hands when putting on or removing your sunglasses. Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers, as this can leave smudges or transfer oils that may damage the lens coating over time.
By following these steps and incorporating regular cleaning and maintenance into your routine, you can ensure your sunglasses remain in top condition for years to come.
How often should I replace my sunglasses?
Replacing your sunglasses largely depends on their condition, as well as your personal preference and usage patterns. In general, consider replacing your sunglasses every one to two years, or when you notice significant signs of wear, such as scratches, cracks, or peeling lens coatings. Additionally, if you find that your sunglasses no longer offer adequate UV protection or visual clarity, it may be time for an upgrade. Remember that damaged sunglasses can compromise your vision and overall eye health, so be sure to replace them as needed.
