Sunglasses are a stylish accessory for any gender and age. But in addition to beauty, they must protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation, and not all models are equipped with this function. Good glasses won't come cheap, so you need to be prepared to shell out a pretty penny. But remember that a good accessory will last for many seasons and years, unlike cheap analogs that often break and do not protect your eyesight. Let's find out which models of women's glasses are included in the best rating.

Recommendations for choosing sunglasses
Not everyone can afford to buy, even just one, branded item. It's the same with glasses.Therefore, in order to buy a high-quality and stylish accessory, you need to be able to read labels and understand what signs or inscriptions should be there.
Depending on the material, glass or plastic is written on the bow, glass or label. On glasses with a UV filter there is a UV marking, with a prefix in the form of a percentage. The percentage of protection for all models is different, suitable for different situations:
- 15-20% – minimal protection, suitable on a cloudy day;
- 40-65% – initial degree of protection, ideal for morning and evening, when the sun is not so active;
- 65-90% – average level, suitable for a sunny day and holidays in hot countries;
- 90-100% – maximum ultraviolet blocking. Used for photophobia, skiing, and driving.
If you buy glasses without a UV filter, choose light or translucent lenses. In the sun, the pupil narrows and receives less ultraviolet radiation than if it were dilated. When wearing glasses without a filter in black or dark color, the pupil dilates and receives a large amount of sunlight, which harms the retina. If the accessory does not have a filter, but the glass is light or transparent, the pupil narrows, which acts as a natural protection.
The color of sunglasses with protective factor does not matter. In this case, it doesn’t matter whether the pupil is dilated or not, in both cases the filter will not let the rays through. Experts believe that the intensity of the lens color, of any color, also does not affect the filter’s ability to block sunlight.
IMPORTANT! By wearing dark glasses without a UV filter, you deprive yourself of natural protection from rays - constricted pupils.
The opinion of experts is that design, brand, price do not matter. The main thing is not to neglect the protective properties, and in the budget segment there are high-quality models.It’s better to save up and buy good glasses than to buy one for the season, causing harm to your health.
