If you are one of the few who is able to hold onto your sunglasses for longer than a day then well done, not only are you an anomaly, but I have some bad news for you.
Over exposure of sunglass lenses to the sun may be deteriorating their UV protection ability. According to a Brazilian study, although current industry tests aren’t sufficient to determine just how long it’s safe to wear them, the recommendation is that give them up after two years of hard wear.
The peeps behind the study were curious when they learnt that most Brazilians wear the same pair of sunnies every day for about two years. How people achieve that is beyond me, but I guess when you buy a pair of legit sunglasses you’re going to make sure they stick around.
I mean, with these tasty cutouts on offer I would definitely do everything in my power to keep them.
Although there is no exact recommendation for when people should retire their old pairs, protecting them from the sun is really important as UV exposure can lead to cataracts, retina damage, and other long-term eye problems and vision loss.
In fact, the UV aspect of your sunnies is so important, it can even save your life:
Until real information is known, the only thing you can do is buy the best – and the best is from Sunglass Hut, who stock dozens of designer frames to fit any face.
Then, if your pair start showing signs of defect after two years, Sunglass Hut will replace them or give you a refund.
At least someone cares.
