When you plan to buy the best sunglasses for yourself, you want it to be a one-time investment. And why not? No one wants to keep spending money on something that can make a hole in their pockets every time. So here I am again, with a little too much information about best sunglasses and basic questions that you ask yourself before buying them.
Question Number One:
Do Sunglasses need to be Polarised?
Polarised sunglasses are the sunglasses that have optical filters in them that allow light of a specific polarisation to enter and block the light waves of other polarisations. This helps in increasing the glare and visibility. So if you are planning to do a water sport or be in the snow that can affect your glare, yes, your sunglasses need to be polarised. Apart from that also, not everyone is a fan of polarised sunglasses, but if you are one, go for it! They are definitely better than non-polarised sunglasses.
Question Number Two:
Is UV protection important?
When you wear a pair of sunglasses, your vision gets darker. To adjust that visibility, your pupil size increases to allow more light to enter. More light means more UV-A and UV-B rays. And these can be so harmful to your eyes that it can cause vision loss. So when you go out to buy the best sunglasses for yourself, make sure they offer 100% UV-A and UV-B protection.
Question Number Three:
Are Materials For Frames and Lenses Important?
If you think metal or plastic frames are enough for you to choose your frames, you are mistaken. You have to look for colour, durability, lightness, hypoallergenic materials, uniqueness and price in a sunglasses and then choose one. Tough job? Ill help!
