1) 100% protection from UV. (about 370-400 nm I think) 2) The brighter the light the darker shade og glasses you need. Dark glasses while sailing for instance. 3) The glasses should filter the same amount of red, blue, yellow and green light. If you are going to use them in nright light (like at sea, choose a pair that filters out blue colors more than the rest. 4) The glasses should be smooth. No dents or scratches! The glass should also have the same thickness in the entire sun glasses (especially if you will use them while driving).

Ray-Ban...
I've had these shades for over three years, and they rock! [ 06-15-2003, 06:22 PM: Message edited by: Larry_OHF ]

You get what you pay for! You only have one set of eyes - why make them look through some grainy, blury, distorted crap that isn't protecting them from the sun. It is too easy to get the good ones!

Color is important. For example, IIRC green is better for shortsighted.
The better thing to do would be to ask an optician. |

I love sunglasses!
I have 4 pairs, 3 of them look similar, and the other pair have thicker frames. My best ones are small rectangular lenses and dark grey/silver thin metal frame. They aren't designer ones, but are well made and offer UV protection - cost me about Ł40 I think.

If you don't wear sunglasses over here you're destined to a life of squinting, I've found that it's pays to buy an expensive brand name 'cause the cheaper ones break easier and need to replace more often. Plus the expensive ones look cool

Talk to an optomatrist. Lenses make a big difference and cheap ones will actually blur your vision. UV protection is important as well. But there are other new innovations that you may want to take advantage of.
Protect your eyes, they are the only ones you have!!!!
