Sunglasses selection options

1. General - no more than half of harmful rays are transmitted, ideal for the Russian climate. Ideal for wearing in urban environments.
2. Cosmetic - almost do not protect against dangerous radiation, delaying less than 20% of UV rays.
3. High UV-protection - these lenses provide the most reliable protection.
When buying glasses, consider the season in which you are going to wear them. The greater the solar activity, the higher the protection indicator should be.
Light transmission
- For cloudy weather and twilight, lenses of zero and first category are well suited, where light transmission ranges from 43 to 100%.
- For drivers and urban residents it is better to choose the second category (18-43%).
- In the summer, as well as for places where there is increased solar activity, a third category should be chosen (8-18%).
- The fourth category (3-8%) will be ideal for skiers and extreme sports, as it perfectly protects the eyes from the dazzling rays reflected from glaciers and snow cover.
Rim material
The frame material can be made of metal, plastic, as well as in komnirovannom version:
- Glasses with a metal frame are rarely bulky, usually such a frame is thin, made in the classic colors of silver or gold. On top, most often covered with a dusting that protects the skin from contact with metal.
- The frame of plastic is also quite light in weight. Unlike metal, it is used much more often in design, as it allows you to create not only classic, but also avant-garde models.
- In the combination of frames and partially used metal and plastic. Such a combination allows us to give a special strength to the structure.
Lens material
Lenses can be made of glass, as well as artificial materials:
- High-quality glass can hold 100% of UV rays. In addition, these lenses look quite stylish and presentable. But the weight of glasses with glass will be significantly greater than that of other options using plastic.

What sunglasses to choose

3. The shape of the frames and lenses is important for face correction. Everything is very individual here, because even with the existing general recommendations there is a high probability of error.
