- Select sunglasses that offer protection and not because they are trendy. A good pair should be wrap-around as light enters from the side, offer UV protection and be comfortable to put on.
- The color of the lens has got nothing to do with UV protection.
- Plastic lenses usually blocks out more UV rays than glass lenses.
- Lenses should not be darker than an 85% percent tint because that would simply reduce the amount of light getting to the eye which in turn enlarges the pupil and lets more light through.
