[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10151″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]More than a fashion accessory, a quality pair of branded sunglasses also improves visual comfort and encourages better eye health – a perfect piece of eyewear for you to bask in the Malaysia sun with utmost luxury and style. Sunglasses shield our eyes from bright light to reduce immediate eye strain as well as protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause symptoms like cataract, eye growth, and even cancer in the long run. We share 4 best tips for choosing the right pair of prescription sunglasses, so you can turn down the heat and spice up your style all year round.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Choose complete UV protection

The best pair of sunglasses lenses offer 100% UV protection from both UVA (long wave ultraviolet A) and UVB (short wave ultraviolet B) rays, which are two types of harmful UV rays that reach us through the sunlight. The UV protection of a lens is not dependent on how dark the lens is – a darker lens does not necessarily provide better protection against UV rays. You might be surprised to see that lightly tinted sunglasses lenses can offer just as much protection as a dark-tinted lens, so feel free to take your pick.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10152″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Transition lenses are an alternative to prescription sunglasses, as they fully protect the eyes from UV rays without darkening your vision. Shop at a store like Better Vision in Singapore that retails prescription sunglasses from designer brands like Ray-Ban, Furla and Police as well as quality transition lenses, so you can rest assured that your eyewear provides you optimal protection against the sun. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Reduce glare 

Aside from providing protection against UV rays, a pair of sunglasses can also help to reduce glare from the sun for optimal comfort. Polarised sunglasses use vertical filters to further reduce glare, by preventing horizontal rays – such as reflected light from the water or the cars on the road – from reaching your eyes. As such, these lenses are particularly useful for people in Malaysia who do water sports or drive often, reducing eye strain and increasing visual comfort. Police’s Lewis 03 – A28 designer sunglasses are a popular choice for those who do water sports because the frames are made of plastic and are thus corrosion resistant.

However, you should note that dark lenses without 100% UV protection will cause more damage to your eyes; the pupils continue to dilate and let sunlight in, which also means that harmful UV rays enter the eyes more than usual. For this reason, it is important that you first choose 100% UV protection before you pick the degree of polarisation for your lens. 

Bigger is better 

Larger sunglasses have you covered for comfort and protection. Branded oversized sunglasses give you more coverage by allowing less light to hit your eyes, and wrap-around sunglasses top it off by preventing UV rays from entering through the sides. Choose from shapes like aviator, rectangle, round, oval, and square for a style that you love the most![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10154″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Read more: Flatter Your Face Shape with These Spectacle Frames

Style it up with colour

Tints are perfect not just for adding a pop of colour to your sunglasses style, but also for enhancing the colours you see through the lenses and improving depth perception. Different colours reduce eye strain in different ways. For example, grey reduces glare, whilst blue and purple increase contrast for stunning colour perception; rose blocks blue light, increases depth, and enhances detail, whilst yellow improves visibility in low light conditions.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10155″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For a flashier or sportier look, you can also choose to add a mirror coating to your prescription sunglasses. Besides flashing a shiny reflective surface on the external part of your lenses, mirror coatings add a brown or amber tint to your vision.
