Designer sunglasses offer both eye protection and great visual appearance. If you love outdoor activities a pair of quality sunglasses can help you to look fashionable as well as protect your eyes from sun rays.
Famous designers such as Guess, Donna Karan, or Fendi usually design and market their own sunglass brand names but outsource their manufacturing and distribution to carefully selected eyewear companies. The result is eyewear frames that are right for overall fashion image they want to create.
Like regular sunglasses, sunglasses from fashion designers are designed to protect you against sun’s rays. They provide protection from UV radiation and glare. A special design of sun glasses, for example, is ideal for beach volleyball because it also increases contrast or depth perception.
Features and Benefits of Designer Sunglasses
The following list of benefits can help you decide which sunglasses suit your needs:
- Ultraviolet (UV) protection. Ultraviolet damages the cornea and the retina. This feature may be the most important one for regular outdoor activities that exposed your eyes to excessive sunlight. Sunglasses with UV coating protect you from cataracts and macular degeneration caused by your eyes’ UV absorption.
- Glare protection. Excessive light intensity, direct from sunlight or reflect off from sea surface or snow, damages the retina. Polarized sunglasses can block light entering your eyes by as much as 97 percent to avoid such damage.
- Eliminates certain light frequencies. Frequencies of light can blur or contrast your vision. Colored sunglasses let you work better in specific situations by filtering unwanted frequencies of light. For example, if your sport is water skiing wearing purple tints sunglasses offers you with the best contrast of objects against blue background.
The above benefits are usually offered in the following features:
- Lens material. As you may know, there are two general types of lens material: plastic and glass. While plastic lenses are lighter and more impact resistant, glass lenses are heavier but more resistant to scratches.
- Lens darkness. What is your ultimate wearing objective? If you love snow skiing sports you need lenses that block most light. But if your activity mainly is driving then 60 to 70 percent light block is sufficient for mild protection.
- Special coatings. Do you need increased clarity or to block certain types of light? There are designed that provide anti-reflective, scratch resistant, polarization and tinting coatings.
- Frame design. Depending on your specific need you may choose many options from normal frames similar to your eyeglasses to wrap-around frames that protect you from direct light, reflected light and ambient light as well.
- Frame material. The inexpensive sunglasses use simple plastic or wire frames. But designer sunglasses use high strength, light weight composite or metal frames.
