Sunglasses are not only fashionable, but also a healthy choice

In the scorching summer, the sunlight is dazzling. A suitable pair of sunglasses can not only instantly enhance your fashion sense, but also be a necessity for protecting eye health. Today, let’s talk about wearing sunglasses in summer.

Why do we have to wear sunglasses in summer?

1. Block UV rays: UV intensity reaches its peak throughout the year in summer, and long-term exposure to strong UV rays may lead to eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. High quality sunglasses can block 99% -100% of UVA and UVB rays.
2. Reduce strong light stimulation: Strong sunlight can cause discomfort such as squinting and tears. Sunglasses can effectively filter out strong light, making vision more comfortable.
3. Prevent aging of the skin around the eyes: The skin around the eyes is delicate, and long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays can accelerate the formation of wrinkles. Sunglasses are like holding up a “sunscreen umbrella” around the eyes.

How to choose sunglasses that suit oneself?
Lens color: Grey color system has the least impact on color recognition; Brown enhanced contrast is suitable for driving; Green color scheme is suitable for sports; Yellow brightening is suitable for cloudy or foggy environments.
Lens material: Glass lenses are scratch resistant but heavier; Resin lenses are lightweight and impact resistant; Polycarbonate lenses are the lightest and have strong impact resistance.
Frame selection: Consider face shape matching – round faces are suitable for square frames; Square face is suitable for round or oval frames; A heart-shaped face is suitable for frames with a wider bottom.

Tips for using sunglasses

1. Even on cloudy days, it should be worn because ultraviolet rays can penetrate through clouds
2. Sunglasses are more needed for water activities, as the reflection of water surface will enhance the intensity of ultraviolet rays
3. Choosing polarized lenses while driving can effectively reduce road and water reflection
4. Children need to wear sunglasses more, as their crystalline lens is more transparent than adults and ultraviolet rays are more likely to reach the retina
