Polarised sunglasses are better for reducing glare from reflective surfaces like water or snow, enhancing clarity and reducing eye strain. However, they might not be ideal for everyone, especially in situations where glare isn't a significant issue.

High-quality sunglasses brands include Oakley, Sinner, and Bloc, known for their durable materials and advanced lens technologies. These brands often offer both UV protection and polarised options.

UV protection is essential for safeguarding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays, which can cause long-term damage like cataracts and macular degeneration. Polarised sunglasses are better for reducing glare and enhancing visual clarity in specific conditions like driving or water sports. Ideally, choose sunglasses that offer both UV protection and polarisation for comprehensive eye protection.

When buying sunglasses:

 

  • Ensure UV Protection: Look for the CE mark or labels indicating full UVA and UVB protection.
  • Consider Polarisation: If you need glare reduction, especially for activities like driving or fishing.
  • Check Lens Quality: Opt for lenses with minimal distortion and a uniform tint.
  • Fit and Comfort: Ensure they fit well and are comfortable for extended wear.
  • Style and Function: Match the style to your face shape and lifestyle needs.
