5 Reasons Why People Wear Sunglasses

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

People wear sunglasses pretty much all the time these days – they are not just for the beach or bright weather; sunglasses have been spotted on people on stage, at night, and even underwater.

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to how you wear your sunglasses, when you wear them, or where you wear them, so be sure to explore your interests as an individual. While it may seem like too much to wear your sunglasses at night, as many people view it as a hard stretch to be cool, it may actually help you depending on your vision.

We want to take a closer look and discover why people wear sunglasses when they do, where they do, and why.

1. Protect From Direct Sunlight

One of the most common reasons to wear sunglasses is to protect your eyes from direct sunlight, which can become annoying or even harmful after a while.

2. Protect From Glare

Another reason most people wear sunglasses is due to glare – especially on the road. People wear sunglasses while they drive in order to avoid an accident or temporary blindness due to a glare or strong reflection from another vehicle or mirrored building.

This is especially regular during the hours in the morning and evening when people commute into and away from work.

3. Hide Your Eyes

Whether you want to hide your eyes from people due to an abnormality or to detach yourself from intimate connection between those around you through eye contact, wearing sunglasses will hide your eyes sufficiently.

Hiding your eyes also enables you to hide your emotions, hide where you’re looking, and shield yourself from intimidation if others easily intimidate you with eye contact.

4. Be Fashionable

Another popular reason people wear sunglasses is to reflect their fashion taste and look cool. This may have branched from the point above, but hiding your eyes, especially when with a group of people suggestions a detachment from others, which has become something many view as cool.

5. Conceal the Look Of Your Eyes

Unlike hiding an abnormality, such as blindness, concealing the look of your eyes is especially common for those in an abusive relationship. However, concealing the look of your eyes may be common for those with bloodshot eyes, due to drug or medical use as well.

Why Do you Wear Sunglasses?

Sunglasses come in all colors, frames, and lenses, creating a diverse universe in which people can select which glasses to wear for their personal reasons.

Whether you’re more interested in sports sunglasses, snap on shades, or Paul Frank sunglasses, you will be able to find the right sunglasses for your needs with a little research online. Consider the various styles, colors, and your personal taste in style before deciding on just one. Many brands will make styles and types of glasses, so you may be able to stick to your favorite company, for all your needs, including sports, driving, and prescription.

So, why do you wear sunglasses?

Eye Protection with Sunglasses

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Summer is here, and that means the sun’s UV rays are out in full force! While that means beautiful weather and bronzed skin, it is important to remember to protect our eyes from potential damage. Extended UV exposure has been linked to cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis, an inflammation of the cornea which can cause temporary vision loss that may last for up to 48 hours. The sun reflecting off sand and water increases the UV rays that people are exposed to, and the peak hours for the sun’s rays are 10AM to 4PM. Combine those facts with long beach days and you have a recipe for disaster!

Make sure your sunglasses offer 99 to 100 percent UV protection, which covers both UVA and UVA rays. And don’t forget about the sides of your glasses! Wide frames ensure that the sun can’t filter in and be reflected into your eyes. Try a pair like this and rest assured your eyes will be protected from all angles:

A pair with large, bright frames work double duty to protect your peepers while complementing your favorite bikini. Turquoise is the perfect color to celebrate crashing waves and poolside barbecues.

At Perfect Glasses USA, any of our sunglasses can be customized to your prescription so that you don’t ever have to sacrifice style for function! Stay cool in snazzy red square frames that will turn heads.

Whatever style you choose, either a pair of discount sunglasses or paul frank sunglasses, remember to pick a pair that offers full protection so that your eyes can stay healthy for years to come!

Summer is Sunglass Season

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Summer is sunglass season! It’s important to pick the right shape for your face, because they’re not just for eye protection – they’re fashion. To choose the prescription sunglasses and frame only sunglasses that will most flatter you, use this guide:

Oval

If you have an oval-shaped face, you are lucky because your features are already in proportion. This means that you can pretty much wear any sunglass style – so why not go for the new trends this season, like wraparound styles or aviators?

Brushed silver frames cool you down, while gold aviators are sure to keep your summer nights sizzling.

Round

If your face is round, you want to choose an angular pair of sunglasses to add lines to you look. In this case, the wider the better, to keep everything in proportion. You want to have a balance between angles and the curves of your face.

round sunglasses

Oblong

If you have a long, narrow face, you are oblong-shaped. The best sunglasses for you are ones with embellished designs that work to shorten your face and bring attention to the center of it. Try a funky pattern, like these striped ones.

Diamond

If you have a narrow forehead and chin with wide cheekbones, your face is shaped like a diamond. Oval, rimless sunglasses work best with this shape; anything with curves evens out the proportions of your face and flatters you.

Square

If you have a wide forehead, cheekbones, and jaw, the best shapes to wear are oval, round, or if you want to be more unique, cateye-shaped sunglasses. All of these work to add softness and balance out your angular features.

Triangle

If you have a wide forehead and a narrow jaw, you want to draw attention to your eyes with bright colors and glasses with straight-line tops. Since it’s summer, you can get a pair to coordinate with every outfit!
