Choosing the Right Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses

Protect Your Eyes from the Sun

When you are outdoors, you need sunglasses to protect your eyes from the damage that the sun can cause. Sunlight has UV rays in it and these rays are what can damage your eyes. When you wear sunglasses, they will be labeled with a sticker that lets you know that they block UV rays. Generally, they will block either 99% or 100% of these rays from entering and getting to your eyes. When you want high-quality sunglasses to protect your eyes, contact Eye Site to see an optometrist in Katy and Houston, TX.

Picking Your Sunglasses

Sunglasses have frames that come in just about any color, though many people prefer to choose brown or black for their frames. If you want a different color, be sure to try a few colors and hold them up to your skin and hair to see how well the color works for them. The goal is not to clash and to go well with both your hair and skin.

Then, you can choose the color of your lenses. Brown, black, and gray are typical for these lens colors, though there are other options. You also need to pick how much darkening you want from your sunglasses. Make sure that you don't get sunglasses that are too dark for you to see well. You may want to go outside in them to see how much they darken the sunlight.

Choosing the Frame Shape

You also need to choose a frame shape, just as you would with traditional eyeglasses. There are countless shapes available and you need to find the shape that best works with your face's shape. Try on a few shapes and take note of how they make your face look. You can work with your face's shape to choose a sunglasses shape that will make your face look more ovular.
