However, buying cheap sunglasses in bulk does not mean that won't have standards. Of course, there are still some considerations you have to make when making your choice.
Need. As they say, "different strokes for different folks". Or, make that, "different shades for different occasions". When choosing your sunglasses, consider where you'll be using these. There are sunglasses for biking, ski goggles and polarized sunglasses for outdoor activities. Various needs will mean various requirements. For instance, if you want something for biking, you should get a pair of wraparound sunglasses that will stay put without fogging the lenses up. If you want a pair you can take with you for fishing trips, sunglasses with polarized lenses allow better clarity, especially when you're looking right at the water to try to find your biggest catch yet. Of course, you will also need a pair for your everyday activities, such as driving to and fro or jogging at the park. With the savings you can enjoy, you can even try to have a pair for various occasions. There are also sunglasses for kids.
Value for money. Go for a balance between quality (workmanship and durability) and price. If you are thinking of doing this as a business, a balance between quality and price will mean happy customers (who will hopefully buy again!) and profit for you. Getting wholesale designer glasses will mean you can offer great value for money for you and your clients.
The latest styles. Olympic Eyewear regularly comes out with the latest styles so that you are never out of fashion. With the many choices that are available, you can select the classic form (such as the aviator sunglasses or the wayfarer sunglasses). You can also go for the whimsical (with Hello Kitty designs, polka dot frames, rhinestone studs) or the modern laser embellishments. The frame choices range from metal to plastic with a wide range of colors and designs. Go "rawr!" with animal print frames or fashion forward with x-loop sunglasses.
Protection. Of course, the main reason why you get sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the sun and the other elements. Look for:
- Light protection. Various colored lenses will filter a certain percentage of the light. Your choice will depend on where you plan to use the pair – in bright light conditions or in overcast, cloudy light. There are also photochromic lenses that react to the amount of light present so that it provides just the right amount of light protection you need.
- UV Protection. UV stands for ultraviolet. These UV rays are very harmful to the eyes. Prolonged exposure is pointed as one of the reasons for eye conditions such as macular degeneration, cataracts or even cancer of the skin in the eye area.
- Vision enhancement. The color of the lens will also help in enhancing clarity, depending on a particular light condition. For instance, brown lenses improve contrast while yellow lenses improve depth perception.
