Sunglasses quality

A pair of sunglasses should protect against harmful solar radiation, be durable in terms of materials—both lenses and frames—to withstand potential impacts, the passage of time, or wear and tear. Additionally, the lenses should not affect the perception of colors and the contrast of the images we see. Other factors, such as the design, which may allow more or less light to pass through the sides, also influence the protection that sunglasses provide. The key criterion for choosing the right pair is to consider the intended use (beach, walking, sports, work, driving, etc.).
