subject: Quality Designer Mens And Womens Sunglasses [print this page] Taking the seasons and the climate into account, both men and women today tend to wear shades or sunglasses during the summer months when the earths UV rate is at its highest. However, it is equally important to also protect your eyes during the winter months, when the rays of the sun can reflect off of snow, ice and water, right to your eyes. In fact, some experts claim that wintertime is more dangerous when it comes to damage to the eyes than the summer time is.
With so many different types of eyewear available at so many different prices, you are going to have to make some decisions about how much you are willing and able to pay for eyewear, what styles and colors look best on you, and where it is you are going to shop from to get these glorious shades. However, protection should never be an option, but a requirement. Your next pair of sunglasses should have 100% UVA/UVB protective lenses to help preserve your good eyesight and prevent damage to the eyes.
If you have a prescription for corrective eyewear or you wear contacts, you will find that it is possible to get prescription sunglasses that are custom made for you according to your current prescription. This special type of shades is available not only to those with a single vision issue, but it is available to those who need bi focals and even tri focals as well.
We can also take this a step further and note that another option for sunglasses is to have transition lenses installed in frames for those who need prescription eyewear. These transition lenses are becoming quite popular as of late; they appear and act like regular prescription lenses when the wearer is indoors, but within a couple of seconds of being exposed to the ultraviolet light they darken just as normal sunglass lenses are, and they block out those harmful rays of the sun. When the wearer returns to the indoors, the lenses return to being un tinted. These are extremely convenient for many different people, since it disposes of the need to carry two separate pairs of eyewear everywhere they go.
If you are thinking about getting a new pair of eyewear, make sure that you give yourself enough time to research all of your options concerning the type of sunglasses that are going to serve you best, and if you have any questions regarding anything and everything about eyewear, be sure that you ask your optometrist or your ophthalmologist to clear up any concerns you may have.
