Beyond being an accessory that adds an extra touch of personality to our summer look, sunglasses are essential to protect our eyes from the sun's rays all year round. It is common to choose sunglasses for fashion or because they simply suit your face type, but do you really know the importance of wearing sunglasses and which ones are best for protecting our visual health?
At LUPER, we want to warn that improper use of sunglasses can lead to bad consequences and even cause irreversible damage. "Continuous exposure to sunlight without protection or with poor quality glasses can cause eye damage, favoring the appearance of long-term diseases such as macular degeneration or the appearance of cataracts," explains Héctor Sánchez, the company's general director.
What you should consider when choosing your sunglasses:
- Darker lenses do not necessarily provide more protection. The darkness of the lens only reduces the amount of light reaching the eye; what is important is that they have the corresponding UV filter.
- Although you can choose any lens color, some colors can provide clearer and sharper vision depending on your refractive error: brown is recommended for people with myopia, and green lenses for those with hyperopia.
- If you engage in activities with a lot of glare, such as driving, you can use sunglasses with a polarized filter that eliminates annoying reflections and glare.
- Not all sunglass frames are suitable for every prescription. The curvature, size, and material are very important for optimal vision and comfort.
- Make sure to purchase your sunglasses at a trusted optical store like LUPER and under the guidance of an optician-optometrist, so you can be sure that your lenses have an approved 100% UV filter.
At LUPER, a team of professionals will provide personalized attention and explain in more detail how to correctly choose your sunglasses at an unbeatable price. All our sunglasses are €39, and the second pair is 50% off!
