Why Sunglasses and Eyewear Matter

Sunglasses and eyewear aren't just style accessories; good sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends choosing sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation, and explains that labels saying 100 percent UVA/UVB or 100 percent UV400 both block the sun's harmful UV rays.

Darker isn't always better

The AAO notes that dark lenses don't automatically block more UV, so check the label rather than the tint.

Bigger frames, more coverage

Oversized and wraparound styles help cut down on UV entering from the side.

Price isn't everything

Less expensive pairs marked as 100 percent UV-blocking can be just as effective as pricier ones, according to the AAO.

Sunglasses and Eyewear Lens Types

Polarized vs UV protection

Polarized lenses cut glare, which can make driving or time on the water more comfortable. UV protection is a separate feature, so check that polarized sunglasses are also labelled 100% UV or UV400.

Glasses and Readers

Reading glasses

Ready-made reading glasses help with close-up tasks. Have your eyes checked by an eye doctor to confirm the strength you need.

Blue light glasses

Blue light glasses are popular for screen time. Take regular breaks from screens and see an eye doctor if you have eye strain.

Eyeglass frames

Full-rim, round and rimless frames suit fashion wear or can be fitted with lenses by an optician.

Choosing Sunglasses and Eyewear for Your Face Shape

Sunglasses for Kids

The AAO advises protecting children's eyes from the sun too. Choose kids' sunglasses labelled 100% UV or UV400 with a comfortable, secure fit.

How to Choose Sunglasses and Eyewear

1. Check the label for 100% UV or UV400 protection.
2. Choose polarized lenses if glare bothers you.
3. Pick a frame shape that suits your face.
4. Consider oversized or wraparound styles for more coverage.
5. Check frame width and nose pad fit.
6. See an eye doctor for prescription needs.

Caring for Sunglasses and Eyewear

• Clean lenses with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner.
• Store glasses in a hard case when not wearing them.
• Avoid leaving sunglasses on car dashboards in direct heat.

Sunglasses and Eyewear FAQs

What UV protection should sunglasses have?

The AAO recommends sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation. Labels saying 100% UV or UV400 both meet this, so look for one of those on the frame, lens or listing before you buy.

Are polarized sunglasses better?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from water, roads and snow, which can make driving, fishing and beach days more comfortable. They don't add UV protection on their own, so also check that polarized sunglasses are labelled 100% UV or UV400.

Do darker lenses block more UV?

No, the AAO notes that darker lenses don't automatically block more UV rays. Lens color and darkness affect comfort and glare, but UV protection comes from the lens material or coating, so always check the UV label.

Are cheap sunglasses safe?

According to the AAO, less expensive sunglasses marked as 100 percent UV-blocking can be just as effective as pricier options. If you doubt a label, an optical shop with a UV light meter can test your sunglasses for you.

Do kids need sunglasses?

Yes, the AAO encourages protecting children's eyes from the sun from an early age. Choose kids' sunglasses labelled 100% UV or UV400 with a comfortable, secure fit, and pair them with a wide-brimmed hat outdoors.

Do I need an eye exam for reading glasses?

Ready-made reading glasses are widely available for close-up tasks, but an eye exam confirms the strength you need and checks your overall eye health. See an eye doctor if your vision changes or you get frequent headaches.

What are photochromic lenses?

Photochromic lenses darken automatically in sunlight and lighten again indoors, so one pair works in changing light. They may take a little time to adjust and often darken less inside cars, because windshields block much of the UV that triggers them.

How do I clean sunglasses?

Rinse off dust and grit first, then wipe gently with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. Avoid paper towels, clothing and household cleaners, which can scratch lenses or damage coatings, and store sunglasses in a case.

What frame size do I need?

Check the frame width, lens width and temple length on each listing, and compare them with a pair that already fits you well. Frames should sit level, not pinch at the temples, and not slide down your nose.

Are yellow-lens night driving glasses safe?

Tinted lenses reduce the amount of light reaching your eyes, so they aren't recommended for driving at night. If glare from headlights bothers you, keep your windshield clean and see an eye doctor, who can check your vision and prescription.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Can I return sunglasses?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if the item is new, unused and in its original packaging. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number, the product name and the reason for the return, then wait for return instructions. There's no restocking fee.

Find the Right Sunglasses and Eyewear

Choosing sunglasses and eyewear comes down to three checks: 100% UV or UV400 protection, a frame that suits your face, and lenses for how you'll use them. A pair of polarized aviators and a pair of everyday wayfarers cover most sunny days.
