Sunglasses are the must-have item for any summer, but not everyone knows how to identify which ones are authentic and quality to protect your eyes.
Unlike many people who may think sunglasses with darker shade may be good enough to protect their eyes from sun’s rays, there are still many other important factors that contribute to the quality of a real good pair of glasses. Karen Millen will help you to identify these quality factors so you shall know exactly which sunglasses to invest.
1. UV400 function
There are 3 kinds of UV light. UVA, UVB and UVC. Extended exposure to UVA and UVB can damage the eyes and can lead to cataracts. UVC is absorbed by theozone layer. UVA Remember “A” for Ageing and UVB Remember “B” for Burning.
UV400 is a feature that protects the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation and UVA, UVB. The difference UV400 and non-UV400 sunglasses is the ability to prevent light rays with wave-length up to 400 nanometers. All of Karen Millen’s sunglasses are designed with UV400 lenses that gives 100% protection from harmful sunlight.
2. The CE mark
The CE mark means that sunglasses sold in the
EU complies with passing certain safety standards. Sunglasses not showing the CE mark may not have met the required standards and therefore will not give the necessary protection.
3. Filters’ effects
For general-purpose use, the dark grey/smoke lenses are the most popular. Grey lenses transmit colors evenly, reduce glare to provide daylong comfort, and reduce ultraviolet (UV) light to a safe level. Grey lenses are the best for bright light situations such as water sports.
Yellow lenses enhance depth perception although can distort colors. Good for haze, or foggy conditions. The brightness of this lens makes it the choice of many mountain bikers, shooters and cross-country skiers.
Blue-tinted lenses help reduce glare from visible white light such as mist, fog, snow and water.
Rose lenses effectively filter blue light. Many people consider these lenses more soothing and comfortable over a longer period.
Brown lenses are great for situations where distances need to be constantly judged, like tennis, golf, skiing, or other sports. Brownish tint lens helps highlight the different contrasts in green colors and enhance visual acuity on the golf course.
Thanks to the above reasons, Karen Millen has always been introducing stylish sunglasses, which are not only diversified in colors and shapes, but also qualitative enough for users with authentic information and warranty.
