Sunglasses

First, assess the UV protection. Look for UV400 or 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from UVA and UVB rays. Polarized lenses reduce glare from water, snow, and glass, making driving and outdoor activities safer and more comfortable.

Next, consider the frame and lens materials. Lightweight acetate or metal frames offer durability and comfort, while polycarbonate lenses are impact-resistant and ideal for active wear. Choose lens colors that suit your typical lighting conditions, grey or brown tints for balanced contrast, and gradient tints for driving or fashion use.

Face shape and fit matter too. Oval and round faces often suit larger, rounded frames, while narrower faces can benefit from slim aviators or wayfarers. Ensure a snug fit with adjustable nose pads or spring hinges for comfort during extended wear.

Aviator sunglasses remain a timeless staple with a bold silhouette that suits many face shapes. Wayfarer styles offer versatility and retro appeal, while round frames bring a vintage vibe for a fashion-forward look. Sport and wraparound sunglasses are designed for active days, offering maximum coverage and stability during workouts or driving.

Mirror-coated lenses are popular for bright environments, adding a stylish edge while reducing glare. Clip-on sunglasses provide a convenient solution for people who wear prescription glasses, converting them into protective eyewear on sunny days.

Clean lenses with a soft microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaner to avoid scratches. Store sunglasses in a protective case when not in use and avoid leaving them exposed to heat or direct sunlight for extended periods, which can warp frames or degrade coatings.

Handle frames by the bridge to minimize smudges on lenses, and periodically check screws or hinges to prevent loose parts. If you opt for polarized or reflective lenses, keep protective coatings clean to maintain performance and clarity.

Polarized sunglasses use a special filter that blocks glare from horizontal surfaces like water, roads, or snow. They improve contrast, reduce eye strain, and are particularly beneficial for driving, boating, fishing, and outdoor sports. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, polarized lenses can make a noticeable difference in comfort and visibility.

Most standard sunglasses provide UV protection but not blue light filtering. Some models offer coatings that reduce blue light exposure, which can help if you wear sunglasses indoors at screens’ proximity or spend long hours near devices outdoors. For heavy blue light needs, consider specialized blue light blocking eyewear in addition to sunglasses for outdoors.

Yes, mirror sunglasses reflect a portion of sunlight away from your eyes, reducing glare and enhancing visibility in bright conditions like beach, snow, or sunny commutes. They also provide a bold fashion statement, pairing well with a wide range of outfits.

Look for sunglasses labeled UV400 or 100% UV protection. Reputable brands show this clearly on packaging or product pages. In Wowcher UK listings, trusted sellers typically indicate UV protection details, along with any polarization or special coatings, so you can shop with confidence.

Absolutely. UV rays can still affect your eyes on cloudy days, so wearing sunglasses remains a smart habit. If you need comfort in varying light, consider sunglasses with photochromic lenses that darken automatically, or keep a lighter tinted pair for overcast conditions.
