MoonX Eyewear's Guide of buying Sunglasses
Sunglasses aren't just a fashion statement; they play a crucial role in protecting your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. These rays can be even more dangerous when reflected off surfaces like roads, mirrors, and metal, making eye protection essential when outdoors.
While looking cool and classy is a bonus, prioritising UV protection should be your top concern when choosing sunglasses. Bigger shades offer better coverage, reducing the amount of UV rays entering your eyes.
Here are some key points to consider before making your pick:
1. Face Shape:
Finding the perfect fit starts with your face shape. Round face: Square, rectangular, and butterfly frames complement round features.
Oval face: You have the most flexibility, with butterfly, cat-eye, square, geometric, and aviator styles all working well.
Heart-shaped face: Aviators and rectangular sunglasses flatter heart-shaped faces.
Square face: Opt for round, oval, or cat-eye sunglasses to soften your jawline.
Diamond-shaped face: Oval and cat-eye styles suit diamond-shaped faces best.
2. Comfort: You want sunglasses that feel good on your face. Pay attention to the temple, frame, and lens construction. UV protection adds to the comfort factor by improving your vision in sunlight. For those living in rainy areas, consider avoiding metal sunglasses, as they are prone to rust.
3. Protection Standard:
Look for lenses with UV400 protection. This ensures comprehensive blockage of harmful UV rays.
4. CE Mark:
The CE Mark on sunglasses signifies their safety for use in sunlight. It guarantees a certain level of light intensity filtering.
5. Quality: Investing in good quality sunglasses is an investment in your eye health. Don't let price be the sole deciding factor. We at MoonX Eyewear prioritize quality to ensure your eyes stay healthy and protected.
6. Lens Color: Choose lens color based on your needs. Sportsmen often prefer coloured lenses for enhanced visibility and contrast compared to standard black lenses.
7. Style Statement: Remember, your sunglasses should complement your face shape. Refer to point 1 for guidance.
8. Material: Opt for sunglasses made from high-quality materials like acetate or TR90. Polycarbonate (PC) and Cellulose Propionate (CP) can be good budget-friendly options.
