- For optimal protection, sunglasses should be worn during peak sunlight hours, including in the early morning and late afternoon. On average, the most damaging sunrays are usually between the hours of 8 to 10 A.M. and 2 to 4 P.M. Exposing eyes to these extreme UVA and UVB rays is harmful. Consider opting for sunglasses that offer UV protection.
- When spending time near the water, remember that water reflects 100-percent of the sun's rays, which means it puts eyes at a higher risk for being exposed to UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, concrete and dry sand reflect nearly 25-percent of sunrays.
- If sunglasses are uncomfortable, people will be less apt to wear them. Consider selecting a pair that compliments your facial shape and is extremely comfortable on the bridge of the nose, temples and ears. Having a snug fit means that sunglasses will hug the face and offer more protection for the eyes.
- Do not feel the need to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a pair of sunglasses. Many less expensive versions offer adequate sun protection. Just make sure that the label offers UVA and UVB protection. Black frames are among the most popular styles, but recently more colorful shades are beginning to dominate the market.
