Sunglasses Selection Tips

  • Buy sunglasses marked with a sticker or tag indicating 100 percent UV protection, or ask your eye care provider to ensure they offer verified UV protection.
  • When it comes to sunglasses, the greater their coverage area, the more protection for your eyes and the sensitive skin around them, which means less sun damage (and potentially less wrinkles!).
  • Be aware that darker lenses don’t always protect you better. So long as the lenses are properly coated for UV protection, lens shade and color are more about personal preference than anything else.
  • Polarized and highly reflective lenses can reduce strain on your eyes due to glare from reflective surfaces, but polarization alone does not offer protection from UV rays.
  • The cost of sunglasses relates more to fashion and quality/durability than to the level of UV protection they afford. Many affordable sunglass options can provide verified 100% UV protection, though they may not look as good or last as long as more expensive options.
  • Most sunglasses can be made to match prescription eyeglasses or contacts.
  • Kids are never too young to wear shades. Many eye health risks associated with exposure to the sun are cumulative, and kids start accumulating sun damage as soon as they see the light of day.
