Are sunglasses good for your eyes?

The benefits of wearing sunglasses for your eyes

Nowadays, sunglasses are no longer just for the summer season.
As an integral part of our look, our sunglasses follow us almost everywhere and in all circumstances.
And that's not such a bad thing, since wearing good sunglasses is definitely providing our eyes with undeniable protection.

A priceless shield for our eyes

Sunglasses are best known for their ability to protect against strong sunlight.
The tinted lenses of sunglasses filter out ultra-violet rays to reduce their impact on the eyes.
Similarly, wearing a pair of sunglasses means you can face bright sunlight without discomfort.
However, sunglasses also provide protection against all kinds of external aggression.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses helps you withstand windy weather, and prevents dust and other contaminants from getting into your eyes.
So, whatever the environmental or weather conditions, your eyes are safe.
What's more, sunglasses lenses can be adapted to your eyesight by your optician.
So, just like your prescription glasses or contact lenses, your sunglasses can provide you with optimum visual correction.
These sunglass lenses can also be fitted with an anti-blue light filter.
Similarly, certain tints of sunglasses are particularly well suited to protecting your eyes from screens.
Sunglasses with yellow, orange or brown lenses are particularly recommended for this purpose.
So, as well as being a fashion accessory, sunglasses offer undeniable protection for your eyes.

The importance of a good pair of sunglasses

However, it's important to remember that good sunglasses are essential for good protection.
The fact is, not all pairs of sunglasses on the market are equally effective.
To make sure you choose the right pair of sunglasses, the first thing to do is check that they have the CE mark.
This European standard is a guarantee of quality equipment that is safe for your health.
What's more, the quality of protection for your eyes will obviously depend on the category of lenses you choose.
Category 1 and 2 lenses only protect against a small amount of sunlight.
For effective sun protection in any environment, category 3 or 4 lenses will be required.
To be on the safe side, it's best to consult your optician who will choose the right pair of sunglasses for optimum protection of your eyes.
