While everyone knows that sunlight, in particular, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, can cause lots of damage to the body and to the eyes, not everyone knows how to properly take care of themselves and to prevent such UV damage. The current recommendation is to put sun tan lotion on all skin areas that are exposed to the sunlight however, you CAN NOT put sun tan lotion onto the eyes so how do you protect your eyes from the damaging UV radiation?

Most people think that the answer is sunglasses however, that answer is not completely correct. The correct answer is UV protected glasses and the pair of UV protected glasses may not even be a pair of sunglasses as the actual UV protection component of a pair of glasses is clear, not dark!

The misconception is that the darker a pair of sunglasses are, the better they must be at protecting the eyes. The truth is that the darkness just minimizes the brightness and thus making it more comfortable for you however, it is actually a clear UV coating that protects your eyes from the damaging UV radiation.

How do you know what pair of sunglasses to buy to ensure that you get the 100% UV protection that is so important to your eyes?

The best type of sunglasses are polarized sunglasses and these not only give you 100% UV protection, they also allow you to see extremely clearly and comfortably. These polarized sunglasses can allow you to see so clearly that you can even see fishes swimming around under the water because the glare from the water is minimized.
