Protecting your eyes

Quality eyewear will give you 100% protection from damaging UV radiation, reducing the risk of developing cataracts and age related macular degeneration in later life.

Sunglasses also protect your eyes from glare, improving vision and reducing eye strain and headaches.

If you are outside in a dusty environment, wearing eyewear can significantly reduce dust and debris from getting in your eyes, as well as helping to keep your eyes from drying out. If you are frequently in this situation, and if you participate in outdoor sport, you may wish to consider wraparound shades to give your eyes maximum protection.

Protecting your face

Sunglasses can also help to protect the skin around your eyes from UV rays that accelerate wrinkles.

David Pressman recommends

“Think about the situations in which you will be wearing your sunglasses before you buy. Different brands have models that have specific benefits for certain applications.

For example some Oakley sunglasses have a HYDROPHOBIC™ lens coating that prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant and easy to keep clean - ideal for wearing when you are participating in active outdoor pursuits.”
