Gumtree also offers the following tips and tricks to choose the right sunglasses just for you:
- Always ensure your sunglasses block 100% of the UV rays for the best protection for your eyes.
- Consider buying sunglasses that are oversized or in a wrap-around style for all round protection from UV rays.
- Dark lenses and sunglasses do not mean they offer excellent protection. They may look good but always check the UV rays they are able to block.
- Polarised sunglasses are not protective. They simply reduce the glare off other reflective surfaces, thereby enhancing activities near the water or driving.
- Do not get fooled by the price. Expensive sunglasses do not necessarily mean they are better and more protective. A cheaper pair with 100% UV ray blockage should be the way to go.
- Do not wipe your sunglasses while they are dry. Instead rinse them with water or use a cleaning solution.
- Store them safely in an enclosed pouch/case so they do not gather dust or get damaged.
- During summer months, do not leave your sunglasses in areas with excessive sunlight such as a hot car. This can make the frames warp.
- Always wear and take off your sunglasses using both your hands to maintain the balance between the two sides.
