What Are Sunglasses?

Sunglasses are eyewear designed to shield your eyes from UV rays. Commonly known as 'sunnies' or 'shades', these glasses help reduce glare and enhance visual comfort by blocking excessive brightness. They may also be a visual aid and are often tinted or polarised.

Sunglasses were first introduced in Europe around the early seventeenth century. Originally called "tinted spectacles," their primary purpose was to protect and conceal the eyes. The need for effective eye protection against sunlight became more apparent in the nineteenth century, especially among adventurers and polar explorers who experienced snow blindness. Early versions of sunglasses included side shields for added protection.

Sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes from excessive sunlight. Our eyes are sensitive to light and can suffer damage from prolonged exposure to visible and invisible radiation. Intense sunlight can cause discomfort and, in severe cases, lead to symptoms like soreness, headaches, or permanent damage to the retina, cornea, and lens. Short-term effects may include temporary vision loss or a reduction in vision, known as snow blindness. Long-term exposure can result in night vision loss and cataracts, typically caused by UV light burning the cornea's surface.

The primary purpose of sunglasses is to protect the eyes from excessive sunlight. Overexposure to UV light can easily damage the eyes, prompting advancements in sunglass technology. Innovations in materials and design have led to more effective sunglasses that help prevent temporary vision loss, cataracts, and night vision impairment.

Benefits of Sunglasses

Historically, darker lenses were believed to offer better protection than lighter ones, as they reflected more light. However, technological advancements have introduced various sunglass options, with different styles, colours, and materials available. Some sunglasses feature custom-made frames and multiple materials, which can make them more expensive, but the cost differs from the UV protection level they provide.

The most significant benefit of sunglasses is their ability to protect your eyes from UV light. Excessive UV exposure can damage your cornea, retina, eyelids, and lens. Protecting your eyes is essential for maintaining good eye health, as the skin on your eyelids, the thinnest part of your body is particularly susceptible to sun damage.

Protecting your eyes throughout the year is essential because sunlight spreads more rays. Snow can reflect sunlight, so if you participate in winter sports, it is recommended that you wear sunglasses to safeguard your eyes and delicate skin from premature aging. Sunglasses with UV 400 protection are ideal to ensure maximum protection, even on cloudy days.

The tint of your sunglasses determines the amount of light your eyes are exposed to. Different lens tints provide varying levels of protection. Grey-tinted and nearly black-tinted lenses protect against intense light while reducing colour distortion.

Sunglasses also help reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, which can obscure objects and cause blurriness. Polarised sunglasses can effectively eliminate glare, improving visual clarity. Polarisation filters in sunglasses are designed to realign light waves and block specific frequencies of light that may cause blurriness or enhance colour contrast.

How to Choose the Best Sunglasses

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, but here are some tips to consider when selecting sunglasses:

• Check if the sunglasses have a label or sticker indicating full UV protection. Labels such as "UV absorption up to 400nm" signify complete UV absorption.
• Don’t assume that darker lenses provide better UV protection. The most crucial factor is ensuring your sunglasses offer 100% UV protection.
• Polarised lenses improve visual comfort during certain activities, such as driving, and are often made with UV-blocking materials. Verify the label to ensure that polarised sunglasses offer maximum UV protection.
• Opt for sunglasses with larger lenses or wraparound styles to minimise UV rays entering from the sides.
• While coloured lenses alone do not block out the sun, brown or rose-tinted lenses can enhance contrast and offer additional protection.

At Dresden, we prioritise your eye health and offer high-quality, prescription and non-prescription sunglasses for all genders and ages. You can select from various colours and lens types to create customised sunglasses that fit all face shapes.

Difference Between Shades and Sunglasses

There is no fundamental difference between sunglasses and shades. The term 'shades' is simply an informal name for sunglasses. Both terms refer to eyewear designed to protect the eyes from various types of light and harmful UV rays.
