14 TOP Sunglasses in 2022
13.04.2022It’s no secret that we love sunnies. You can expect your favorite brands to release rimless Y2K styles and goggle silhouettes for the summer, as well as more colorful designs for teens. Jessica Kats, Soxy’s e-commerce and retail expert, says that the ’90s sunnies are becoming wider with a chunky, synthetic frame. The color trend is shifting from black to red, blue, and green frames.
We love fashion moments, but it is also important to select a pair that provides adequate protection from the sun. Dr. Jennifer Tsai of Line of Sight Vision, who is also an eyewear designer, says that you should not settle for less than 100% protection. Darker sunglasses may not offer greater UV protection against UVA and UVB. She advises that it is important to verify the label or tag. Dr. Tsai says, “Polarized sunglasses do not always provide UV protection, contrary to popular belief.” They can block glare but not UV rays. Make sure to check the labels.
You may be wondering what the verdict is on sunnies you bought just for their style. Dr. Andrea P. Thau is a board-certified optometrist who was also the former president of American Optometric Association. She say that sunglasses with no UV ray protection are actually more dangerous than no wearing them. Your eyes protect themselves naturally by blocking out light. If you have lenses that don’t provide UV protection, your eyes will dilate due to the low levels visible light. Your eye can absorb more UV rays than if your sunglasses were not on.
Are you unsure if your sunnies are suitable for the job? Dr. Thau advises that you bring your favourite pair of sunnies to your annual eye exam. Ask your optometrist if they are providing enough UV protection. Sunglasses can prevent eye diseases and stop premature wrinkles caused by squinting. They’re also a great way to add style to an outfit.
