Summer 2020: Choosing the Best Pair of Sunglasses

It's summer, and you don't know which pair of sunglasses to buy. Between the frames, the lenses, what suits you or not, the fashion to follow, or not... You no longer know where to turn!
So we decided to help you so that you are both the most beautiful on the beaches, but also that you protect your eyesight.

4 Things to Check Before Buying Your Trendy Sunglasses

The Lenses of the Sunglasses

The CE marking must appear on your sunglasses. It will certify that the construction and performance requirements are met.

The glasses will thus ensure good filtering of UV rays while providing you with good optical quality.

There are several types of glasses, the advantages of which are different. It's up to you to make the choice that best suits you.

You will find:

• Mineral glasses: they hardly scratch, but are fragile if they receive a shock
• Organic glasses: they are resistant (unbreakable) and very light, but scratch easily
• Anti-reflection glasses: they prevent indirect glare
• Photochromic lenses: They darken in the sunlight
• The colored glasses
• Mirrored lenses: mirror effect

Watch out for dark glasses. They are not necessarily the most protective. Branded glasses in Pakistan prevent being dazzled, but do not necessarily filter UV rays. Conversely, glass can be transparent but treated and completely filter UV rays.

Beware of colored glasses, you will certainly be fashionable, but these can change the color and your perception. If this is not the case, always check the CE marking and their protection index... Branded Sunglasses in Lahore

The glass protection index

It is compulsory to mention it on the pairs of branded sunglasses on sale. The higher it is, the more it reduces the intensity of the light. According to standard NF EN ISO 12312-1 2013, published by the AFNOR group, it ranges from 0 to 5.

• Protection index 0: It does not protect, it only serves as comfort and will be used from a purely aesthetic point of view
• Clue 1: In overcast weather and poor sunshine
• Clue 2: For moderate sunshine
• Clue 3: Ideal for the sea or the mountains, in case of strong sunshine
• Clue 4: During extreme light and when the sun can be reflected (mountaineering, snow on glaciers, etc.). Please note that wearing these glasses is prohibited while driving.

Children's sunglasses

Despite the attractive prices and the design of the pairs of branded sunglasses in Pakistan for babies or children that can be found in many stores, do not rush. Many pairs will not effectively protect your children with fragile young eyes.

Know that a good pair for children is not excessively expensive.

Pay attention to the CE standard marking as well as the protection index (mentioned above).

Little info, the younger the child, the more fragile his eyes and must be well protected.

• At less than 1 year, 90% of UVA and more than 50% of UVB are received on the retina
• Between 1 and 12 years, 60% of UVA and 25% of UVB pass
• Beyond 25 years, these figures decrease and are stopped by the lens.

Practical information on glasses

Eyeglasses

For those of you who have vision problems, be aware that it is possible that the lenses of your branded sunglasses in Pakistan are both corrective lenses. The only downside is that these dual-function lenses cannot be integrated into all frames.

Wearing lenses

You can absolutely keep your contact lenses with your sunglasses, and this is even recommended. Although lenses often have a UV filter, this is less effective in the event of prolonged exposure.

Finally, ASNAV - the national association for improving eyesight - advises getting branded sunglasses in Pakistan directly from an optician, where you can be guided and advised by a professional in the field.

Attention, special situations

• UV sessions: it is strictly mandatory that you are provided with sunglasses specially adapted for these treatments.
• Eclipse: you will also find special glasses for the occasion, do not risk eye damage.

The Top 10 Beauty Tips for Choosing Your Sunglasses

• When trying on your future sunglasses, the main thing is not to hide your eyebrows. These are one of the outward signs of your personality, they emphasize your expression.
• Thus, the top of the frame should as best as possible follow the curve of your eyebrows. If they are straight, avoid a rounded shape, at the risk of contrasting too much.
• Now you have to choose the frame, here are some morpho-beauty tips to help you.
• The shape of branded glasses in Pakistan VS shape of your face
• Round face: you can wear round glasses and thus accentuate this shape or on the contrary, opt for a geometric and angular shape to try to refine it.
• Square face: the geometric shape will accentuate this aspect. The round shape will soften it.
• Rectangular face: you can choose pairs of color, contrasting branded glasses in Pakistan to further widen your face. The "cat-eye" or "butterfly" styles will be ideal. But the oval shape can also fulfill the same function.
• Oval face: this is the ideal shape that allows you to wear everything.
• Diamond/diamond face: you can choose a geometric or oval shape. Opt instead for a small frame to decrease the space between your two temples.
• Face in the triangle - wide at the top / thin at the bottom: The material must be light, avoid bright colors so as not to bring out the upper width.
• Face in the triangle - thin at the top / wide at the bottom: You can completely accentuate and play with the bright color or the details at the top in order to enhance the top of the face.

What about the mount?

The professional opticians that you will find in the store will guide you and advise you as best as possible according to the color of your eyes or your hair. Despite everything, the final choice is a personal decision.

Your eyes and your frame

Blue eyes: bluish or silver

frame Green eyes: gray frame

Brown eyes: beige or beige shades

Black eyes: beige, pink, or black

Your hair and the frame

• Gray hair: cool colors
• Brown hair: warm colors
• Red hair: shades of red

If your eyes are wide apart, choose a dark color that will create the effect of bringing the two eyes together. On the contrary, if your eyes are closed, the bridge should be narrow and/or clear.

If your nose is rather short, opt for a bridge (which connects the two glasses) high and clear; if you have a rather long nose, choose a low, dark bridge with a large contact surface to give a shortened effect.

Take a frame whose size is adapted to that of your head.

If you have a small head then buy a small frame, and conversely, opt for a larger frame if your head is large enough. But the width of the frame should never exceed that of the head.
