How to choose sunglasses, how to choose them according to the shape of a woman's face

Sunglasses are not just an accessory; they're a way to prevent wrinkles and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. This was reported by SSPDaily.

How to choose the right sunglasses and what to consider

The type of sunglasses you choose depends primarily on your lifestyle and the conditions in which you'll use them.

First and foremost, sunglasses should offer adequate protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Look for glasses labeled "100% UV protection" or "UV400".

Experts warn that not all sunglasses provide sufficient protection against harmful UV light.

You should only purchase glasses that offer 99 to 100% protection from UV rays.

A UV filter is essential; tinted sunglasses without a UV filter are more hazardous to the eyes than wearing no glasses at all. According to ophthalmologist Benjamin Burt, dark glasses without UV filters cause pupils to dilate, allowing even more rays to enter the eye. Poor-quality glasses can also distort refraction, leading to headaches and dizziness.

Choose glasses based on the level of protection needed; the "bigger is better" principle does not apply. Sunglasses are categorized into five categories based on their level of protection, each suited for different needs:

• Category zero: fashion glasses suitable for indoor wear.
• Category one: lightly tinted glasses that filter UV rays with minimal darkness.
• Category two: suitable for low sunlight conditions.

• Category three: appropriate for bright sunlight.
• Category four: extremely dark filters used in high-altitude environments like mountain climbing.

Some sunglasses feature a polarizing filter to reduce glare from smooth surfaces, ideal for activities near water.

While brightly colored lenses may be fashionable, prolonged wear can be harmful. For instance, blue lenses may cause irritation, while red lenses could disrupt the nervous system.

Choose sunglasses with a frame size that covers the delicate skin around the eyes and fits well to minimize sun exposure from the sides.

Contrary to popular belief, plastic sunglasses effectively shield the eyes from UV radiation. Quality sunglasses are made from a special optical polymer with varying degrees of UV protection. Plastic glasses are lightweight and safe but prone to scratching.

How to choose women's sunglasses based on face shape

• Narrow face: opt for oval or rounded models.
• Round face: choose square or rectangular glasses.
• Oval face: most shapes suit oval faces; consider cat-eye glasses for a stylish look.
• Triangular face: aviator glasses are stylish but may not suit everyone.
• Square face: square-shaped glasses can visually correct the shape by adding straight lines.
• Soft features: butterfly, cat-eye, or droplet-shaped frames complement delicate features.
• Narrow face: rectangular models with thick temples or butterfly-shaped frames are ideal.
