Fashion Tips

 Choosing the right sunglass

Sunglasses can enhance your visions and the lenses are tinted to help minimize the overall brightness and enhance your look. However,  your choice of tint colours affect your vision by influencing:

• how much visible light reaches your eyes,
• how well you see other colours, and how well you see contrasts.

By selecting the right colour tint for your activity, it will help to improve your visual acuity for that environment. Conversely, certain bright or unusual colours may alter your colour perception adversely. From a visual standpoint this is why it is usually best to choose lenses that are grey, brown or green but make that you choose the right ones that fits your face structure.

The most appropriate to wear sunglasses:

It’s generally a good idea to wear sunglasses anytime you’re outdoors but especially when:

In summer when UV radiation is at least 3 times higher than it is during winter

At the beach or near the water (one of the most reflective surfaces)

It is also important to wear sunglasses when you’re in the mountains or outside at any high elevations.

If you have had cataract surgery/ are taking photo-sensitizing drugs
