Brace yourselves! It’s about to get hot! Summer is around the corner and are you prepared?
While you unpack your cotton clothes, parasols, sunscreens and a host of other paraphernalia, remember it is just as important to protect your eyes as well. Apart from being a fashion accessory, there is also a practical aspect to sunglasses, just like our skin, our eyes have to be protected especially during summer. It is important for one to make the extra effort to choose the right sunglasses when outdoors.
While purchasing a new set of shades for summer, look for one that blocks 99 to 100% of all harmful rays. UVA and UVB rays are the invisible rays that do the most damage to the eyes. Another thing to look for while choosing your sunglasses during summer should be the shape and size. Sunglasses that give full wrap coverage and hugs closer to the eyes offer better protection to the eyes.
The colour of the lens is also important while selecting the right sunglasses. Brown, gray and green lenses are color-neutral, which means they cut down on overall brightness without distorting colors. These darker shades are intended primarily to cut through the glare and reduce eyestrain in moderate-to-bright conditions making it the perfect choice for summer.
Among its many choices Maui Jim offers lenses which are perfect for bright, sunny days. Rich color and contrast along with the highest available light production is an added feature common to Maui Jim lenses. Maui Jim’s PolarizedPlus2® lens technology reduces 99.9% of harmful glare from any flat, smooth, or shiny surface, improving vision and giving crisp detail to any view, making it possible to clearly see objects in motion. Additionally, Maui Jim sunglasses cut 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.

- The color of the lens and frame must complement your complexion and eye color.
- Check the quality of the glass and make sure that it’s durable. Also ensure that the glass offers maximum protection against U.V rays.
- You must feel comfortable after wearing the pair.
- The placement of nose pads must be accurate and should not give rise to patches on your skin.
The human eye is extremely sensitive and exposure to the forces of nature can lead to several complications over a period of time. So why not make an extra effort to protect them while making a fashion statement at the same time.
