Summer style secrets
During the scorching summer, it is important to protect one\'s eyes from the heat and the glare.
During the scorching summer, it is important to protect one's eyes from the heat and the glare. The sun's glare is strong enough to cause permanent retinal damage to the eyes which makes it extremely important for one to pick up sunglasses that have the ability to filter out the harmful UV rays, says an expert.
Narendra Kumar, creative director, Amazon Fashion, India, has listed a few steps to buy sunglasses. UV Protection: Do not confuse the shade of the lenses with their ability to filter rays. Polycarbonate lenses that provide comfort as well as optical clarity are 100 per cent UV absorbent. They make a great choice to protect your eyes from the harsh UV rays this summer.
Fit: Face fit as per the face shape is an equally important criteria while looking for a pair of sunglasses. If the sunglass does not cover the eyes appropriately and does not fit properly on the face, the rays can enter the eyes from different angles.
Polarised lenses: A polarised lens allows only vertical light to pass through, versus regular sunglasses that filter all light that may be scattered and from different directions, either vertically or horizontally. Polarised sunglasses provide the highest level of visual clarity, and significantly reduce glare. These reduce glare at the beach, in the snow, or out on the water.
Mirrored: These are lenses that have a reflective coating, also called ‘flash coating’ that makes the surface appear like a mirror. Mirrored sunglasses reduce the passage of light to a large extent.
Avoid fake sunglasses: While buying sunglasses, one needs to be sure of the quality and whether the product is genuine or not. The market is flooded with cheap and fake quality of sunglasses that promise 100 per cent UV protection or polarisation. Therefore, it is important to buy branded products to ensure that you are protecting your eyes against the harmful rays.
Also ensure that you read customer reviews below products, read seller details, and also look for brand details like warranty, etc. Examine the label and logo well, check for the model numbers as worldwide model numbers of products remain the same, and look for authorised sellers.
