Sunglasses perform two very important functionsfunctions – on the one hand, they protect our eyes from ultraviolet radiation, and on the other hand, they serve as an addition to the image we create. How to choose sunglasses so that they perform both functions as best as possible?

How to choose glasses that will protect your eyes well

Many people buy glasses, trying to choose them according to theirmainly by the shape of the face and the color of the clothes with which these glasses are supposed to be worn. But how often do we think about the degree of UV protection? About the durability of the product? About the quality of visibility through the lenses? Unfortunately, not often. But how do you choose the right sunglasses? Steps

• Think about eye protection. Excessive exposure to UV radiation can cause a number of problems, such as cataracts, corneal burns and even cancer. If you do not want to be exposed to this risk, then during the purchase of points, select a pair that blocks at least 99% of the UVB rays and 95% of the UVA rays.
• Choose the color of the lens, based on your needs. And it's not just about the color of clothes, hair and facial skin, which we all think about first. Color lenses can significantly affect how well you will distinguish colors by wearing glasses, and how contrasty the image will be. And this is very important in some situations, for example, if you are sitting behind the wheel of an auto. Some firms offer sunglasses with interchangeable lenses of different colors, which makes it easy to adjust glasses to any situation. And how does the color of the lens affect the perception of the environment?

Brown, gray, green colors are neutral, which means that such lenses reduce the overall brightness without color distortion. They just extinguish bright glare and relieve tension from the eyes in bright light.

Yellow, gold, amber-yellow colors -provide less protection against brightness, but they are excellent for protecting the eyes at moderate or low levels of illumination. They provide an excellent perception of the depth of perspective, which makes them ideal for skiing, snowboarding and other types of snow sports.

Pink color - in such glasses the world seems brighter. They provide excellent visibility and contrast in low light conditions. Good for skiing in cloudy weather. They also increase the visibility of objects on a blue and green background, which makes them indispensable for driving or traveling in forest areas.

Mirror lenses - reduce glare, reflectingmost of the light that hits their surface. Mirror lens coatings cause objects to appear darker, and to compensate, such coatings are often applied to light lenses.

• Choose a style of glasses. Here it is necessary to think first of all about the shape of the face, because the style of glasses suitable for you depends on the shape of your face. We will try to pay more attention to this topic and talk about this a little later.
• Find the pair that suits you best. Here's what you need to pay attention to:

The frame should fit snugly to the nose and ears, but it should not press or leave a feeling of discomfort.

The weight of the glasses should be evenly distributed between the points of support on the nose and ears.

Your eyelashes should not rest on the lenses.

And, of course, glasses should look harmonious on your face.

How to choose points based on your face type

The key to finding the best match is balance.your face shape and glasses. First of all, determine what shape your face is. There are seven types: round, square, oblong, triangle with the base at the top, triangle with the base at the bottom, diamond and oval. Regardless of what kind of face you have, glasses should be chosen so that their shape is the opposite of your face shape. For example, if you have a round face, you should choose rectangular glasses, and if your face is square, the glasses should be round. It is also important to remember the size of your face. If you have a small face with delicate features, it will not be a good idea to wear very large sunglasses. And if you have large features, tiny glasses will look ridiculous on it. Here are some examples of successful combinations of lens and face shapes:

• A diamond-shaped face: a lens without a rim, oval lenses or a frame with an emphasis on the forehead line.
• Square face: lenses with soft rounded edges, round, oval lenses in a thin frame.
• Triangular face (wide at the bottom): lenses of bright colors, a frame with a straight upper line.
• Inverted triangle (face wide at the top): lenses without rim, light tone of lenses and color of frame, transparent frames.
• Oblong face: lenses that are equal in width or larger than the width of the largest part of the face.
• Round face: rectangular or square lenses, thick rim.
• Oval face: almost all forms of lenses look good on this type of face, but square glasses are especially beautiful.

How skin tone and hair color affects the choice of sunglasses

When choosing sunglasses, it is necessaryConsider not only the shape of your face, but also your skin and hair color, because you will need to decide on the color of the frame. The color of the frame should match your color type, which can be warm or cold. Cold skin tones have pink or bluish hues, while warm tones have yellowish hues. What about hair color? White blonde, jet black, and light brown are considered cold hair tones, while warm tones include golden blonde, black, brown, red, and ash. Women with a predominance of warm tones in their color type will look better in camel-colored frames, as well as khaki, gold, copper, peach, white, or bright red. For cold tones, the best combinations are black, pink, brown, plum, purple, and blue. Regardless of the color of the frame you choose, you should not forget about the most important criterion that should never be violated - comfort. No matter how beautiful the glasses are, you should not buy them if you feel uncomfortable in them.
