UV Eye Protection
UV rays are the main culprit that destroy your eyes. For true eye protection you must find a sunglasses brand that has 100% UV protection as a complete minimum.
Before diving into the different styles and brands of sunglasses, it's crucial to understand the importance of UV protection. Look for sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection, as this will block both UVA and UVB rays. Without proper UV protection, you may be putting your eyes at risk of long-term damage.
That damage can lead to long term issues, you really should be avoiding.
Rest assured, all our products at Shadeoo come as standard with 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Polarised Lenses for Glare Reduction
If you spend a lot of time outdoors or on the water, polarized lenses are a great option. These lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, and pavement, providing clearer vision and reducing eye strain. Polarized sunglasses are particularly beneficial for activities like driving, fishing, and skiing.
All our products at Shadeoo come as standard with HD polarised lenses in multiple colours. This really reduced the eye strain and allows you to enjoy the outdoors.
Top Tips When Choosing Sunglasses
To help keep your eyes healthy, keep these tips in mind when buying sunglasses.
Don’t settle for less than 100% UV protection
Ensure your sunglasses boast a tag or sticker guaranteeing 100% UV protection against all UV light. Look for labels stating 'UV absorption up to 400nm,' synonymous with full UV absorption.
Darker sunglasses don’t always mean they offer more UV protection
When searching for sunglasses, avoid being deceived by assuming the darker the lens, the safer they are for your eyes. Only sunglasses with 100% UV protection offer the necessary safety.
Polarised lenses reduce glare and eye strain, but don’t block UV rays
Polarised lenses reduce the glare bouncing off shiny surfaces like water or roads. UV protection isn't their thing; they're all about enhancing activities like driving, boating, or golfing. Some polarised lenses rock UV-blocking powers. Double-check those sunnies' label for maximum UV shield!
Shadeoo Sunglasses do both!
Check lens quality when shopping
Most lenses offer 3-5 layers of protection for various benefits. these can include UV, Polarised, Anti Scratch, or Anti Blur resistance.
Shadeoo Sunglasses offer 5 layers of protection with all the benefits above as standard.
Lens colour doesn’t matter for UV protection
Choose colour as a preference once all the above is taken care of. This is purely marking your style, and doesn't add any UV protection benefit.
And remember that very dark-coloured lenses may look cool, but they do not necessarily block more UV rays.
Materials matter when buying sunglasses
The lens production and type of plastic used is essential when choosing a new pair of shades. Plastic lenses are less likely than glass lenses to shatter, so are better for the eyes. Most non prescription sunglass lenses are made from some type of plastic.
Polycarbonate sunglasses are a must for sports and active consumers. Polycarbonate frames ensure durability and the lenses normally come with a scratch-resistant coating.
Frames are very durable and can be bent at a 90 degree angle before any damage. These are really innovative and setting the latest trend with top brands including all our products at Shadeoo.com
Price is irrelevant to protection
Sunglasses don't have to be expensive to be safe and effective. Follow the guide and you'll be confidently soaking up those rays without a worry in sight!
