Expensive or not, it's not important. It's the UV protection and optimal clarity that is most important

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

Ong advises that you should always buy sunglasses that provide a clear statement about how much UV radiation is blocked. "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!

Most of the daytime drive I wear my sunglasses...even raining vision is still better wearing them...

 

I'm using the Radar Path's Oakleys I used when going running...specially the ultra's (TNF) the sun is really blinding...it's more easy to the eyes...

i will go for polarized, comfort, light weight and lastly design.

 

i used to be a fan of oakley, they have one of the best lens around but regret to say, not in quality..

i'm on my 4th pair of oakley, the earlier ones were all broke..

 

anyway gf got me a pair of lacoste sunglass, kinda cool..

 

big lens width which would really be good as i got a wider face..

I using a pair of Tag Heuer sunglasses. The lens really cut out the glare and make the surrounding somewhat clearer and brighter. No complains.
