Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Sunglasses
Eye Health: Sunglasses should protect your eyes from damage to the macula, a part of the retina at the back of your eye. The front part of your eye (the cornea and the lens) absorbs most UV-B rays, but these rays may cause even more damage to your eyes than UV-A rays.
The harmful effects of UV rays on skin are well known, but many people don't know they can also cause cumulative damage to the eye. Long-term exposure to the sun can lead to eye disorders such as cataracts, snow blindness, and skin cancer. Even short-term exposure to glare or reflections can burn the front surface of your eye lens. Good sunglasses should block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation.

- Fit
The way your sunglasses fit not only makes them look better, but it can also affect how effective they are at blocking out harmful UVA/UVB rays. A well-fitting pair of sunglasses should fit snugly on your head without being too tight or uncomfortable. The center of the lens should line up with the center of your eye, and the frames shouldn’t be so wide that they let UV rays in on the sides. This can be just as harmful to your eyes as direct sunlight. - Shape
There are several shapes of sunglasses available, including the more popular aviator, wayfarer, cat eye, square, oval, and oversize styles. For the most part, the shape you choose is an aesthetic choice. Find a shape that you like and that looks good with your facial features. - UV Protection / Polarized / Anti-Reflective
Furost sunglasses are polarized and anti-reflective lenses (to reduce the glare) and will give you 100% UVA/UVB protection. - Tint
Different lens tints filter light differently. Grey-tinted lenses reduce brightness without color distortion, making them good for driving. Amber and brown lenses also reduce blue light and glare. Gradient lenses (darker at the top and fade to a lighter tint) work much like your car’s windshield, blocking sunlight from above without darkening your view too much. - Style
Let’s face it, style is important. If you don’t like how the sunglasses look or feel, you’re NOT going to wear them…
