Reading sunglasses

Sunglasses , in addition to being a fashion accessory, are an essential element for protecting the health of our eyes. Their main function is to protect the eyes from ultraviolet (UV) rays, reducing the risk of vision problems. Furthermore, they have evolved to become a key element of style, reflecting the personality and image of the wearer. Thanks to innovations in materials and technologies, today they offer a perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics.

Sun filters and lens color

When choosing your sunglasses , the first thing you should consider is the characteristics of the lenses. In this regard, we can distinguish between two criteria: the sun filters they have and the color of the lenses. Each of us perceives light differently, so it's best to ask your ophthalmologist for advice on the type of lenses that will best benefit your eyes. Generally speaking, within the filter category (ranging from types 0 to 4), we have:

• Type 0 lenses: These are the clearest, so their use should be limited to indoors or on overcast days.
• Type 1 lenses: These are slightly tinted and are suitable for days with light sunlight.
• Type 2 lenses: These are moderately tinted and should be used on days with medium sunlight intensity.
• Type 3 lenses: These are darker and more opaque, and are the most common type. Therefore, they are recommended for high-intensity sunlight, such as at the beach or in the mountains.
• Type 4 lenses: This is the darkest type of lens. These are professional lenses used only to protect your eyes in extreme light conditions, such as skiing or metal welding.

When buying sunglasses, you should look for a label indicating the type of sunscreen they contain. Besides being useful information for you, it also indicates that the sunglasses are original. It's good to consider the sunscreen in relation to your light tolerance.

The next criterion we have is the colors of the lens, which give different perceptions to our colored ocular prism:

• Green lenses: These lenses allow you to receive colors with minimal distortion. They reduce visible light without affecting vision clarity. They are recommended for water sports and for people with farsightedness.
• Brown lenses: They filter out blue light and increase contrast and depth of field of vision. Therefore, they are the most suitable color for nearsighted people or those who practice outdoor sports.
• Gray lenses: These perceive light evenly across the spectrum and better reflect natural colors. This type of glasses is ideal for driving.
• Yellow: Not recommended for sunny days, but improves contrast on cloudy and hazy days.
• Orange lenses: This is the most suitable color for low-light situations, such as at night. However, they are not suitable for daytime use.
• Polarized lenses: eliminate horizontal reflections, preventing glare. They make driving easier in the snow, for example.
• Photochromic lenses: These darken in the presence of light and lighten in the dark. These are the most expensive and most versatile types of lenses.

Lens color is much more than just a matter of aesthetics, so if you're clear about the situations in which you'll be using your glasses, be very clear about which lens color is most beneficial for each case.

Polarized sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses have a special filter built into the lenses that helps block light reflections, offering clearer, contrast-free vision. These annoying reflections can occur on some flat surfaces that act as mirrors when sunlight is projected onto them, such as water, snow, or asphalt. This reflection generally causes eye fatigue due to glare, which in turn dilates the pupils and impairs vision.

Polarized sunglasses increase visual comfort, making them ideal for driving, water sports, and outdoor activities.

At Perfume's Club you can enjoy more than 200 different models of polarized glasses from the best brands on the market, such as Hawkers , Northweek , Polaroid or Timberland .

How to choose sunglasses based on your face

When choosing glasses, we usually opt for those we like best or those that are most fashionable and trendy at the moment. However, did you know that there are different types of glasses that best suit different face shapes? To help you do this, we'll give you some tips:

• For a square face: This face has a similarly sized forehead, jawbones, and cheekbones. If this is your face, you'll need angles that soften your face. To achieve this, avoid glasses with regular corners and always opt for the most rounded style possible.
• Diamond-shaped face: This face type is characterized by a relatively small forehead, slightly raised cheekbones, and a slightly pronounced jawline. If this is your face shape, choose relatively elongated frames that don't cover your forehead and instead aim to give it a wider appearance.
• Rectangular glasses: These are very similar to square glasses, but they feature a wider forehead and a larger, rectangular jawline. If you fall into this category, you'll need the tallest frames possible to compensate for the size of your forehead and visually make your face smaller. Avoid horizontally elongated glasses, and remember that rounded ones are your best friend.
• Oval face: This is the best type, as you'll be able to enjoy virtually any type of glasses, as none of them will really look bad on you. The only thing you'll need to consider is the size of the glasses in relation to your face size. Don't choose glasses that are too big or too small.
• Round face: This face type will require glasses that preferably fill the face, aiming to achieve a balance between length and width, always seeking proportion. Thick-rimmed frames will suit you, as they'll give you a slight sense of elongation and disguise the roundness.
• Triangular shape: Triangular faces are characterized by a broad forehead, high cheekbones, and a pronounced, narrow chin. For this face shape, aviator glasses with a thin, lightweight frame are best. This will naturally balance out the jawline.

With these tips as a guide, you'll be able to use very good judgment. But remember that creativity is also important. Always choose the styles that appeal to you most and suit your style of dress, because in the end, we'll always look better with what makes us feel most comfortable!
