A pair of sunglasses seems so simple — it’s two pieces of tinted glass or plastic in some sort of plastic or metal frame. How much more straightforward can something get? It turns out that there are many different things you can do with two pieces of glass, and these things can have a big effect on you when you use the lenses. As you will see in this article, there really is a difference between the various sunglasses you’ll find out there.

There are four things that a good pair of sunglasses should do for you:

• Sunglasses provide protection from ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Ultraviolet (UV) light damages thecornea and the retina. Good sunglasses can eliminate UV rays completely.
• Sunglasses provide protection from intense light. When the eye receives too much light, it naturally closes the iris. Once it has closed the iris as far as it can, the next step is squinting. If there is still too much light, as there can be when sunlight is reflecting off of snow, the result is damage to the retina. Good sunglasses can block light entering the eyes by as much as 97 percent to avoid damage.
• Sunglasses provide protection from glare. Certain surfaces, such as water, can reflect a great deal of light, and the bright spots can be distracting or can hide objects. Good sunglasses can completely eliminate this kind of glare using polarization (we’ll discuss polarization later).
• Sunglasses eliminate specific frequencies of light. Certain frequencies of light can blur vision, and others can enhance contrast. Choosing the right color for your sunglasses lets them work better in specific situations.

Reading sunglasses should do the same as regular sunglasses.  That’s why MagniShades is about quality and design.  Protect your eyes and look good even when reading!

Sunglasses and reading sunglasses are a must for any time of year. They protect your eyes from UV light and reduce the chance of conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. They also reduce eyestrain when it’s bright outside, and they eliminate disorienting glare while driving. Plus, they help to shield your eyes from wind, rain, and flying debris.

Fancy, expensive sunglasses are great until you misplace them, lose them or sit on them! So it makes sense to have a few pair and they don’t have to be expensive. After trying dozens of sunglasses and specifically reading sunglasses. there are a few favoutites to recommend.

When it comes to eyewear, many of us are creatures of habit. Once we find a shape we like, whether it’s a wayfarer or an oversized shape and we stick to it for years on end. However, shoppers should try to venture out of these self-imposed boxes.  For instance, you might be put off by a brow-heavy frame but it might actually have the same shape as your go-to aviators and would look just as good on your face. Don’t be afraid to ask a friend or contact MagniShades for some expert advice. 

Face shape is often cited as the first consideration when buying eyewear.  It is important but it shouldn’t be the sole deciding factor.

The man behind New Orleans eyewear says “You’re putting something on your face that literally changes the way people see you—if you have a round or oval face and you put a cat eye on, it’s going to extend it up and make it feel more like a triangle, more elegant,” he explains. “Oval is the most universal face shape; you can wear anything from oversize to small. But other face shapes—like heart-shaped, square, rectangle or diamond—are more difficult to pull all styles off.”

Think about what you want your eyewear to do for your face.  You may want to elongate, or bring attention to a specific area, and so forth.  Use the silhouette to achieve that goal. Shopping for eyewear according to face shape is “not something that you can’t break, but it’s something that can really help you feel like you look great in a frame,” Barrett notes.
