Choosing The Right Sunglasses

 Good Sunglasses

  • Besides looking cool these wrap around to protect your eyes.
  • These also protect your eyes from UVA|B rays.

 

Bad Sunglasses

  • These do not wrap around your head.
  • These are usually worn for fashion.
  • They do not include label of
    UVA|B protection.

 

The important infomation on a pair of sunglasses is reading the small print on the sunglasses.The glasses on the left cost about $290, while the glasses on the right cost about $30, but do they offer at least 98% of UV A|B protection?
