UVA rays&nbsp;are much higher in volume (they outnumber&nbsp;UVB rays by 500 times) and&nbsp;penetrate past surface level, deep&nbsp;into your eyes and&nbsp;skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these&nbsp;forms of radiation are responsible for skin and eye damage that can lead to cataract formation and cancer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of wearing sunglasses<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blog-National-SGDay-product1.jpg\" alt=\"benefits of wearing sunglasses\" class=\"wp-image-24588\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearing sunglasses that provide full UV protection\u00a0will benefit your eyes over the short and long-term:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Protection from UV&nbsp;damage, for reduced risk of UV-related eye disease&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Clear&nbsp;vision in bright, sunny conditions&nbsp;<\/li><li>Enhance&nbsp;your general&nbsp;visual&nbsp;comfort&nbsp;<\/li><li>Reduce exposure to&nbsp;glare&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Provide relief for light sensitivity&nbsp;symptoms (squinting, headaches, and eye strain)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Express your personal style (in other words, they look&nbsp;pretty&nbsp;cool)&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<strong>How to choose the right sunglasses&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blog-National-SGDay-polarized.jpg\" alt=\"round sunglasses \" class=\"wp-image-24589\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right sunglasses for you is about so much more than style. From&nbsp;lens type&nbsp;to lens tint, there are a few things to consider&nbsp;in order to&nbsp;find a fit for your&nbsp;<em>lifestyle<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Adequate protection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the label and make sure they offer UV or UV400 protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Frame shape and height<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lens height is important to ensure that your eyes, eyelids, and the surrounding delicate skin around them, are completely protected. A lens height of at least 30mm works best for sunglasses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Polarized or non-polarized<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/lens-type\/polarized\">Polarized lenses<\/a> also offer optimal UV protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to classic, non-polarized sun lenses,&nbsp;they&nbsp;include technology that helps to reduce glare and enhance contrast, making them the preferred choice for outdoor sports and water-based activities, as well as driving.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Lens tints<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While&nbsp;the colour and finish of your&nbsp;lens tint&nbsp;doesn\u2019t affect the level of UV protection that&nbsp;your&nbsp;sunglasses offer,&nbsp;different tints are&nbsp;designed for specific conditions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re rated by category from 0 (lighter tints) to 4 (very dark tints) \u2013 lower rated lenses are designed for weak sunlight or low brightness, while higher ratings are designed for&nbsp;intense sunlight and&nbsp;extreme brightness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Lens coatings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can boost your lens performance with lens coatings. Mirrored tints are a great option if you\u2019re looking for non-polarized lenses for outdoor activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings,&nbsp;like C Shield,&nbsp;will extend the life of your sunglasses and provide vital protection from the sun\u2019s glare and UV penetration through your lenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Style<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to put on your sunglasses whenever conditions call for it \u2013 which means you need a pair that you can\u2019t wait to wear! As well as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/thelook\/sunglasses-face-shape-guide\/\">finding the right frame shape<\/a>, you can choose between classic, gradient, and mirrored tints, depending on which finish matches your vibe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other UV protective&nbsp;lenses<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blog-National-SGDay-1.jpg\" alt=\"how to buy sunglasses online\" class=\"wp-image-24585\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>50% of UV exposure occurs when people are not in direct sunlight.
