The culprit here is the sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays, which\ncan do great harm. The solution is as simple as wearing sunglasses that block\n100 percent of UV rays. Don\u2019t waste your money with any pair of sunglasses\nunless they provide complete UV protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lens colors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSunglass lenses come in a variety of colors (or tints) and\nyou may find a reason to factor color into your selection. However, that reason\nwon\u2019t be eye protection. The color of the lenses have no effect on their\nability to block UV rays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the process of producing lenses, they\u2019re treated with\ncolorless chemicals that block UV light. In fact, clear lenses can block UV\nlight as well as dark-colored lenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, various tints do filter light in different ways and\ncreate different effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Grey
<\/strong>Grey is a neutral tint that reduces glare and enables you to perceive colors in their purest form. Gray lenses are great for driving and sports such as golf, running or cycling.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Green
<\/strong>Green tints reduce glare while offering high contrast and visual sharpness. Shades of green tend to reduce eyestrain and are ideal for precision sports such as tennis, baseball and golf.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Yellow and orange
<\/strong>Yellow and orange tints increase contrast in hazy, foggy or low-light conditions. Though they may increase visual sharpness, they may cause color distortion. Yellow lenses are a good choice for snow sports.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Amber and brown
<\/strong>Amber and brown tints reduce glare and brighten your vision on cloudy days. By blocking blue light, amber and brown tints increase contrast and visual acuity, especially against green and blue backgrounds. Consider choosing amber and brown tints for fishing, baseball, golf, hunting, cycling, and water sports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Rose or red
<\/strong>Rosy tints increase contrast by blocking blue light. These tints are known to soothe the eyes and provide comfort for longer wear-times. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n![\"Sunglass](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg)

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Polarized<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPolarization\u2014a popular feature\u2014removes glare from reflective\nobjects to assist visual clarity. Polarization is a great feature if you enjoy\nwater sports or are sensitive to glare. Understand, however, polarized lenses\ndiminish the visibility of LCD readouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photochromic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPhotochromatic lenses darken when struck by UV light. They return to normal in dimmer conditions. This feature makes the lenses a popular choice for those that need the corrective properties of eyeglasses. Note that the photochromic process doesn’t work when driving because UVB rays do not penetrate your windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prescription<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou can order sunglasses with the\nsame prescription as your normal glasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirrored<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nMirrored lenses feature a coating or\nreflective film that deflects some of the light. Though mirror coating does not\ncompletely protect against UV light, it can be combined with other materials to\ndo so. Mirrored lenses are usually selected for fashionable reasons. They don\u2019t\noffer any superior qualities compared to other choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other coatings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPremium sunglasses may have several layers of coatings, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Hydrophobic <\/em>coating to repel water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Anti-scratch<\/em> coating to improve durability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Anti-fog<\/em> coating for humid conditions or high-energy activities

Polycarbonate<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nPolycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than traditional\nplastic lenses. They\u2019re also up to 10 times more impact-resistant than either\nglass or plastic lenses. Polycarbonate has become the go-to material for safety glasses and\nsports goggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glass<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGlass lenses offer superior optical clarity and scratch-resistance. However, they\u2019re heavier and more expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polyurethane<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPolyurethane provides superior impact-resistance and excellent optical clarity. It\u2019s flexible and lightweight, but also more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acrylic<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nAcrylic is an inexpensive alternative. It\u2019s less durable and not as clear as polycarbonate or glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSunglasses frame materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Metal <\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nMetal frames are easy to adjust and less obtrusive to your field of vision. However, metal frames are less durable than other types and not for high-impact activities. Metal can also get hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nylon<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nNylon is inexpensive, lightweight and durable. Some nylon frames have high impact-resistance for sports. These frames aren\u2019t usually adjustable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acetate
<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAcetate, which is a variation of plastic, is popular for stylish sunglasses. More color varieties are possible. The material is less flexible and not suited for high-activity sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Castor-based polymer
<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis material, <\/strong>derived from castor plants, is light, durable, non-petroleum-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSports sunglasses <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMost sunglasses are not designed for action sports. Sports\nsunglasses, on the other hand, are designed for activities such as running,\nhiking and biking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\nare usually lightweight and purpose-made for fast-paced adventures. Superior\nframe and lens materials are used to increase impact-resistance. Sport\nsunglasses also typically feature high-grip nose pads and temple ends to help\nkeep the frames in place when you sweat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some\nsport sunglasses include interchangeable lenses so you can make adjustments for\ndifferent light conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order sunglasses with the\nsame prescription as your normal glasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirrored<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nMirrored lenses feature a coating or\nreflective film that deflects some of the light. Though mirror coating does not\ncompletely protect against UV light, it can be combined with other materials to\ndo so. Mirrored lenses are usually selected for fashionable reasons. They don\u2019t\noffer any superior qualities compared to other choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other coatings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPremium sunglasses may have several layers of coatings, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Hydrophobic <\/em>coating to repel water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Anti-scratch<\/em> coating to improve durability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Anti-fog<\/em> coating for humid conditions or high-energy activities
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSunglasses lens\nmaterials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Polycarbonate<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nPolycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than traditional\nplastic lenses. They\u2019re also up to 10 times more impact-resistant than either\nglass or plastic lenses. Polycarbonate has become the go-to material for safety glasses and\nsports goggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glass<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGlass lenses offer superior optical clarity and scratch-resistance. However, they\u2019re heavier and more expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polyurethane<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPolyurethane provides superior impact-resistance and excellent optical clarity. It\u2019s flexible and lightweight, but also more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acrylic<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nAcrylic is an inexpensive alternative. It\u2019s less durable and not as clear as polycarbonate or glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSunglasses frame materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Metal <\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nMetal frames are easy to adjust and less obtrusive to your field of vision. However, metal frames are less durable than other types and not for high-impact activities. Metal can also get hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nylon<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nNylon is inexpensive, lightweight and durable. Some nylon frames have high impact-resistance for sports. These frames aren\u2019t usually adjustable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acetate
<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAcetate, which is a variation of plastic, is popular for stylish sunglasses. More color varieties are possible. The material is less flexible and not suited for high-activity sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Castor-based polymer
<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis material, <\/strong>derived from castor plants, is light, durable, non-petroleum-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSports sunglasses <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMost sunglasses are not designed for action sports. Sports\nsunglasses, on the other hand, are designed for activities such as running,\nhiking and biking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\nare usually lightweight and purpose-made for fast-paced adventures. Superior\nframe and lens materials are used to increase impact-resistance. Sport\nsunglasses also typically feature high-grip nose pads and temple ends to help\nkeep the frames in place when you sweat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some\nsport sunglasses include interchangeable lenses so you can make adjustments for\ndifferent light conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glacier glasses are designed specifically to protect your eyes from intense light at high altitudes and sunlight reflecting off snow. They often feature wrap-around extensions to block light from entering from the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat about\nstyle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
