Tips for Choosing the Right Color for your Sunglasses
A perfectly chosen sunglass can give your face a gorgeous look as well as protect your eyes from the ultraviolet radiation. So you might think of the words - what is a perfectly chosen sunglass? Sunglass size, shape and color matter a lot. You can read about the tips on the size and shape of the sunglasses at my previous article - Four Useful Tips for Buying Sunglasses. In this article I am going to discuss about the color of the sunglasses.
The color of the sunglasses is very important factor in the protection of the eyes against ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Sunglasses that are tinted gray are believed to give the highest protection. Almost as good are those tinted brown or green. But sunglasses tinted blue or purple can be dangerous.
According to the Science Digest, “Blue or purple sunglasses can expose you to more ultraviolet radiation than no sunglasses at all! That happens because a dark lens causes your pupils to dilate, which means blue or purple sunglasses inflict ultraviolet rays on your eyes after ‘tricking’ them into lowering their defenses against sunlight.”
It is always important to check the label or tag of the sunglasses to see if they are rated to provide full protection from UVA and UVB light. Even though you may pay a little more for such protection, it is well worth the cost compared to the damage that can happen to the eyes, cataract surgery, or, even worse, blindness. So I hope you will take proper care of these facts before buying a sunglass for you!
