Choosing Sunglasses

Good sunglasses usually have a UV protection layer which as I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong) protects our eyes the same way sun block cream protects our skin. Is there any significance to the color of the lensses or brightness? I know that some colors block curtain wave lengths better then others

The UV layer does protest the eyes the way sunscreen protects the skin. It's true that certain colors prevent certain wave lengths from going through but there's no certain wave length that is bad for the eyes other then UV. When buying a new per of sunglasses make sure they have UV protection and other then that it's all a matter of fashion, taste and preferences. Most sunglasses are dark in order to prevent bedazzlement, but if you're not planning on looking directly into the sun they won't be a necessity as well.

Two factors you may consider in choosing sunglasses on line are face shape and head size.

Like choosing eyeglasses, to look good sunglasses must fit your face shape. We discussed this in eyeglasses, but let’s do a quick recap:

Round Face – Choose sunglasses with angles. And look for ones with thicker, wider frames at the temples.

Oval Face – You have a balanced face so keeping it in balance is important. Don’t go to extremes. Look for something not angular or sharp.

Square Face – Because your face has angles, you want to avoid them to soften your face. Look for ovals and possibly rounder styles when choosing sunglasses.

Heart Face – With a larger forehead than chin the last thing you want to do is to accentuate your forehead. Go for something rimless or semi-rimless. Metal frames that are very light should help.

Diamond Face – With the width of your cheekbones it is imperative not to choose sunglass frames wider than your cheeks.

Oblong Face – Wider frames will pull out some of the length of your face. Many times with a longer face comes a longer nose and a lower bridge may help to shorten the nose.
