As titled. There're numerous sunglasses out there ranging from around $10 to over a $100 a pair. Although some of these sunglasses are labelled as 100% UV Protected but how can one tell if this label is accurate or not? I assume the company won't make a false label claiming it's 100% UV Protected when it's not right?
I got a sunglasses recently for around $12 and the brand is unknown called Delicious There's a tag on it that says it's 100% UVA/B Protection... So do u ladies think it's reliable? I got it from a department store. |

Yes they probably are reliable. There really is not a relation between price and UV protection but there can be a big difference in the quality of the lens.
So you can still have 100% protection (or what ever the tag states) with a cheaper pair of sunglasses but maybe you wont see so well thru them, you know what I mean?
I always look for polarized because for me it makes a big difference, I can see clearly and don't squint.

Hi GirlieGirl, thanks for replying!
So what exactly is a polarized lense? Mine is tinted almost to a black shade but isn't that the whole idea? cuz to prevent the bright sunlight so u don't have to squint?
So r u saying that the polarized lense is 100% UV protected and as well it's not tinted too dark so u can still see clearly? |

Polarized is separate from UV. Its an additional feature and I've found that its hard to find good quality polarized lens though. Basically polarized lens reduce glare. My eyes tend to be really sensitive to the sun so they really make a difference for me.
Right now I have a couple of pairs that I got from QVC.com that I really love. The brand is called Physician Endorsed. The were not too pricey upper $20's. |

don't mean to hijack the thread but i was wondering if it's better to get sunglasses that protect against just UV or ones that protect against all UVA/UVB rays?

You want the UV to cover both A & B. |
