Protection from ultraviolet (UV) light is essential for healthy eyes. We should choose sunglasses that offer over 90 percent UV protection.
Recently I visit an eye-care professional who test my shades using a UV transmission meter. UV coatings are usually colorless. Treated clear lenses with no color-tint, can still be UV light blockers. Different tints work better in different environments and the color choose are a matter of personal taste. The eye care professional preferred me to use brown lens for normal everyday use. These colors reduce glare without distorting colors too much.

Even sunglasses from designer brands may not offer 100 per cent V protection. Sunglasses of reputable brands that are manufactured in Europe, US and Australia as these counties have strict safety standards. And don’t believe everything you read: Just because glasses have a sticker claiming UV protection does not meant it is true at times.
The styles that wrap all around the temples are best to prevent eye strain as they prevent light from entering from the sides. It is also important to choose frames that allow lens to sit comfortably in front of the eyes.
Polarizing lens can reduce the glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snows and road. They are suitable for those who enjoying fishing, skiing and sailing.
