Price doesn't decide whether sunglasses protect your eyes. The lens does. Here's what actually matters.
1. Look for UV protection on the label
"UV400" or "100% UVA/UVB protection" means the lenses block ultraviolet light, the part of sunlight that can harm your eyes over time.
2. Darker doesn't mean safer
A dark tint only cuts brightness. Dark lenses without UV protection can be worse than none, because your pupils open wider behind them.
3. Polarized is about glare, not UV
Polarized lenses cut reflections off water, roads and car hoods. They're great for driving and fishing, but they're a separate feature from UV protection.
4. Check the fit
Frames that sit too far from your face let sunlight in from the sides.
