Remember that sun care doesn’t just include slathering on sunscreen. The eyes are just as vulnerable to sun damage as skin. Unfortunately, though, there’s lot of misconceptions about protecting the eyes. Many people think that wearing just a hat will provide enough sun protection for eyes. Plus, going to the store and buying whatever sunglasses look the best is also a bad strategy. People may be giving themselves a false sense of security and jeopardizing their eyes. Here’s a rundown of essential tips and facts on selecting sunglasses that give sufficient sun protection, in Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “How to Be Smart When Buying Sunglasses.”
What to look for
People might be more familiar with what to look for in a sunscreen than they are about finding a pair of safe sunglasses. But being an informed consumer means picking the right pair to protect eyes. Remember that not all sunglasses are created equal. Here’s a list of facts to make searching out sunglasses a successful — and simple — task.
Broad-spectrum protection. The label should say that the sunglasses block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays, recommends the American Academy of Ophthalmology. If the label says “UV absorption up to 400 nanometers,” that’s the same as 100 percent UV absorption.
False labels. Skip sunglasses that say “UV absorbing,” “cosmetic” or "blocks most UV light” or any pair that doesn’t specify the level of protection. Such terms are meaningless and are used to get around the loose FDA regulations.
Price and quality. When it comes to sunglasses, price doesn’t count. Whether sunglasses cost $10, $50 or $350, the price doesn’t ensure adequate protection. For instance, when MSNBC tested sunglasses from a national sporting goods store, they found that the $20 pair lived up to their sun-protective claims. People still need to check the label, and make sure sunglasses shield the eyes properly.
