How do I find the perfect pair of sunglasses?
Fit and comfort are crucial. Take time to try on sunglasses and consider how they feel. They should be comfortable and secure. Just like trying on a new pair of shoes, take the time to fully experience the fit.

Protection
The colour and degree of darkness of a lens doesn't tell you anything about their ability to block harmful UV rays which can damage your eyes. Look for sunglasses that offer at least 99% UV protection.

What is UV?
Ultraviolet radiation (UV) consists of the short, invisible rays from the sun that reach the earth's surface. The sun's rays contain three bands of UV: UVA, UVB and UVC.

A thin metallic coating applied to the lens for cosmetic purposes.

Flatter Your Face
In general, you should choose a pair of shades in a shape that is the opposite of your face shape. For example, round faces look best in anything but round shades. A rounder face can carry off geometric shapes, ovals, wraps and shields. More angular or thin faces look better in rounder frames; oval faces carry off almost any style.
