It's the UV protection and optimal clarity that is most important http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/fit-to-post...-094633112.html Sunglasses may be perceived as a stylish fashion accessory, but in reality they are a key element in maintaining healthy eyes. Doctors strongly recommend both children and adults wear sunglasses whilst outdoors, to block the sun's destructive ultraviolet rays. UV rays can cause a variety of eye ailments, including cataracts, macular degeneration and even skin cancer around the eyelids. Lisa Ong, principal optometrist at Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), says it is important to invest in a good pair of sunglasses in a climate like Singapore's, as the abundant sunlight contains UV rays that damage your eyes in the long run. Factors to consider when choosing your sunglasses Here are the important factors to consider when choosing a pair of sunglasses: Darkness of the tint Colour of the tint Frame ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The label should state that the sunglasses block 99 per cent to 100 per cent of UV rays," she says. I think they just print and stick the labels, no one knows if its really tested!
