In Greece, especially in the summer a pair of sunglasses is necessary to protect your eyes from the sun.
A good pair of glasses, with the right specifications, will protect your eyes and eyelids from damage and prevent unwanted problems.
Economical sunglasses from vendors should be avoided as they typically do not meet safety requirements.
Choosing the Right Sunglasses
- Always check for CE approval
- Must have 100% Ultraviolet absorption lenses UVA & UVB
- Category 3 level lenses
- UV400 protection label
Lens Color
- Brown - Gray - Green: Ideal colors for sunshine. They offer good protection without changing the colors you look at.
- Yellow-Gold-Orange: Right choice for winter sports. They offer a better sense of depth and visibility in low light.
- Red - Pink - Purple: They do not provide much protection. Suitable colors for non-sunny days and for low light. These colors help to emphasize contrast as they increase clarity in places with a yellow or blue background.
Μaintenance
- Prevent your glasses from losing their protective properties.
- Clean with water and soap.
- In case they come into contact with seawater, rinse with some tap water.
- Always clean with a soft cloth.
- Store in a hard case.
