Sun Glasses—Fashion Statement or Health Choice?

Is there any greater thrill than buying a pair of cheap sunglasses at a gas station during a whirlwind road trip? ZZ Top love cheap sunglasses to complement their hirsuteness so much, they wrote a song about it. It’s certainly cooler than writing a song about “UV safety”.

You don’t have to compromise your fashion, but you do have to take pains to test whether your sunglasses can adequately filter out the harmful rays of the sun. You can take your glasses to a storefront optometrist, who will be happy to measure the protection level with a UV meter. Those most at risk of contacting UV harm are the bespectacled people of the world. Especially if their original glasses were small, clip-on additions to their sunglasses offer only a small diameter of protection. The moral? Shell out the extra bucks for prescription sunglasses! Your eye health will thank you.
