Sunglasses: Why We Love Them

How can you not love sunglasses? Not only are they one awesome accessory, but they’re great for so many occasions.

Poker, for instance. Nobody can tell where you’re looking, or if you’re lying or not. Your eyes will not give you away.

Running into your ex is another example of how sunglasses can come in handy. You can avoid your old flame, but if you do get approached you can just point to your sunglasses and say, “Oh my goodness. I didn’t see you there! These things are so dark!”

And of course, every girl would gladly kiss whoever invented sunglasses on the days where you stayed up too long the night before or just have no motivation to do any make-up but still don’t want to scare the kids.

At Eyeglass World, we love sunglasses not just for these reasons but quite a few others, too.

Protection For Your Eyes

Most everyone chalks up UV rays being harmful only to your skin. Not true, folks. UV rays are awful for your eyes, too. The skin around your eyes that most people don’t rub sunscreen on (because if you get even a little bit inside your eye, it hurts) is just as susceptible to UV damage as the rest of your body. But not just that, your actual eye suffers from harsh and sometimes even mild UV exposure. Save your sight by wearing UV blocking sunglasses.

Fighting Off Glare

With polarized lenses, you can easily and effortlessly fight off glare from surfaces such as snow and water. This is another way to battle UV rays, but it’s also a safety issue. Think of how many times you’ve been driving and have hurriedly needed to shield your eyes from a bright glare. Or been on the beach and can barely open your eyes from the sun gleaming back up from the white sand and shiny water.

Covering Your Eyes from Debris

If you spend some time outside, you have probably suffered from dry or watery eyes. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes not only from UV rays, but also environmental factors such as winds from drying out your eyes. Not just that, but having a good pair of sunglasses protects your eyes from small particles of debris that may be flying around while playing sports or biking.

Relieving Eye Strain

Eye strain is not dangerous, but it is annoying. It causes headaches, neck aches and just fatigue and discomfort in general. We’ve all suffered from it. But did you know it also can cause pre-mature wrinkles?

Think about it. When you strain your eyes, you tend to squint. Squinting hard and for a long period of time will wrinkle the skin around your eyes. So the next time you’re out, keep your eyes from straining and squinting with a great pair of dark lens sunglasses. You can even get a pair of prescription designer sunglasses from Eyeglass World, making protecting your eyes outdoors effortless.

Giving Off The Cool Vibe

Last but not least, the most awesome reason to get a great pair of suns is…sunglasses are downright cool. They express your style and your personality, and you can make it say anything you want.

From retro Wayfarers to sleek Aviators, you can drastically change the feel of your look by simply slipping on a pair of shades. Not to mention the designer you choose! Say something about your style with your new collection of Ray-Ban® frames or even your new line of Dolce & Gabbana® sunglasses. Nobody has to know that your fabulous style came at an incredibly affordable price.
