1:22 Tip #1 -> 100% UV light protection or around 400 nm or less 2:18 Tip #2 -> tint (color) of sunglasses: > gray - brings down brightness, keeps color vision intact. > brown (amber) - improves depth perception (driving, any outdoor activity). Plays with your color perseption if colorblind. > pink - reduces glare and brightness (snow) > green - good for outdoor EXTRA TIP: Look for gradient glasses (dark at the top of the frame, light at the bottom). Helps if you go indoor and outdoor a lot 5:49 Tip #3 -> Polarisation filtre reduces glare. 7:04 Tip #4 -> Style 9:24 Tip #5 -> Quality, well made pair of glasses that lasts and look cool

Brown - Plays with Colour perception if you are colourblind. What does this mean? Does it enhance the colours eg red & green to make world more colourful for us. Will brown lenses help us differentiate between red and green.

@Czechbound 3 года назад

You Get What You Pay For : No, not with sunglasses necessarily. Ray Ban 10 years ago were cheap to buy. They had lost their pricing power. Then Luxottica bought the brand and simply doubled the price to make them "exclusive". Same product, but now 2-3 times as expensive as the day before Luxottica bought them. So no, sunglasses are a fashion item. Yes, nylon or crown glass will add to cost. But after a certain low minimum ( typically $20), for the vast majority of brands you are paying for the name/brand/fashion cache. You think Gucci design and make their own sunglasses to sell for $800 ? No. All the big fashion brands outsource both the design and manufacture to Luxottica. They give this manufacturer early access to their upcoming collections. Luxottica then make the designs, get approval, and make them all together in the same factory. Same production lines, same process, yet some will cost $150, and some will cost $800. It's all branding. And Luxottica own the biggest lens manufacturer in Europe. And they own big chains for glasses sellers like Sunglasses Hut. They even own heritage brands like Persol. So no, higher price does not equal better quality. Look at Barton Perriera. They have their "Joey" glasses in the new Bond movie. So they've leveraged that to produce 5 new variants, labelled "007", and charge $500 for them. Just simple price gouging of Bond enthusiasts. They are no better quality than a $200 pair.

@@isaiahariganello9879 It depends where you live, as, for example, import costs make some US brands relatively expensive to buy in Europe.

For me, Cocoons polarized fitovers. I love their Amber lenses with the green mirror coating for everyday use and could not have asked for a better pair. I also use their yellow polarized lens in less bright conditions. Absolutely fantastic for wearing over my prescription glasses. They have a grey lens with a blue mirror but I found them somewhat dark and not versatile enough other than In really bright conditions or snow

@rosebarnes9625 4 года назад

My grandma was legally blind after cateract surgery in the late 70s, since then I have never gone outside without good sunglasses. I first used RayBan aviators with the brown lens for better contrast when driving, but $120.00 every month or two while I only made $5/hr when they got stolen ended that pretty fast! I was looking for cheap sunglasses that had 100% UVA & UVB when I noticed some wraparound style (like from "Terminator") that were made by the same company that made the sunglasses my grandma was given to wear after her cateract surgery, Solar Comfort, and I have loved them ever since! I used to get them from Walmart but their selection (of Solar Comfort) has diminished by 90% in the last 6 months so now I get them from Walgreens for about $20.00 a pair.

I've worn Maui Jims for years. I've gone back and forth between brown and grey lenses. Currently sporting grey with blue mirror finish. I hike and kayak, and have a mild preference for brown, but am agnostic when it comes to decision time. I also get my full progressive bifocal prescription in them, as I sometimes am in a kayak and need to read a map. :)

@DoctorEyeHealth 6 лет назад

So glad you're loving the Vera Bradley's! They are a nice pair. For your future shades I would consider a green pair for tennis...and consider perhaps a wrap around style for running. But make sure the wrap around doesn't sit too tight to your skin or the frame has "antifog" otherwise your sweat and body heat may fog up the lenses.

@shtiven17 6 лет назад

So many things to consider when buying shades that I would have never thought of before. I will keep that in mind when shopping :) thanks!

How much does the shape of the sunglasses i.e. how much light they let through on the sides matter? And am I correct in assuming that unless the sunglasses enclose your eyes completely darker tints will always be more harmful given they dilate your pupils which would let through the UV light from the sides more?

I used to own Oakley, Ray-Ban and Costa but after losing $300 sunglasses I began looking for equal quality at a lower price and it's not hard to find. Arnett's are also made by luxottica and are equal in every way to the Maui Jim's and Costa. Native and hobie also makes a tremendous lens and has incredible frames. All of these can be had for 80 to $100. Serengeti also makes great lenses in the 150 range
