As summer approaches, it’s time to consider protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays while staying stylish. At Market Square Optical, we offer an exquisite collection of designer sunglasses that ensure superior protection and cater to the latest fashion trends.
Sunglasses: The Importance of UV Protection
UV radiation from the sun can cause significant damage to your eyes, leading to conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye). These conditions can impair vision or even result in permanent damage. Wearing sunglasses with UV protection is essential to maintain your eye health and safeguard against these harmful effects.
Benefits of UV Sunglasses
Here are some reasons UV protection in sunglasses is important:
- Prevent Eye Diseases: Continuous exposure to UV rays can increase the risk of developing eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration.
- Reduce Glare: Sunglasses reduce glare, improving comfort and visibility, especially when driving or taking part in outdoor activities.
- Prevent Photokeratitis: Protection against photokeratitis, a painful condition that can cause temporary vision loss.
- Protect Surrounding Skin: The delicate skin around your eyes is vulnerable to UV damage, which can lead to premature aging and skin cancer.

Selecting the Perfect UV Sunglasses
When selecting sunglasses, it's important to consider several factors to ensure you get both optimal protection and a stylish look. Ensure your sunglasses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection, indicated by labels such as UV400 or 100% UV protection.
High-quality lenses are essential for clear, undistorted vision, with polarized lenses being an excellent choice for reducing glare and enhancing visual comfort. The fit and coverage of your sunglasses are crucial; they should cover your eyes completely to block UV rays from all angles, with wraparound styles providing maximum protection.
Durability is also important, so choose frames made from materials like acetate, metal, or high-quality plastic, ensuring the hinges are sturdy and the overall construction is solid. Your personal style should reflect your choice, so experiment with different shapes, colors, and designs to find a pair that matches your personality.
Matching your sunglasses to your face shape can enhance your look—oval faces suit most frame shapes, round faces benefit from angular frames, square faces look great with rounded frames, and heart-shaped faces are balanced by bottom-heavy frames or aviators.
Consider your lifestyle; for sports and outdoor activities, opt for lightweight, durable frames with non-slip nose pads and temple grips, while for everyday wear, choose versatile styles that transition well from casual to formal settings.
