Not only does your favorite pair of sunglasses make you look cool and fashionable while out shopping or playing some sort of sports, but they also have a wide variety of colors, styles and function. So which lens should you use. It really depends on what you are doing. Some people just want to look like their favorite celebrity and do not really care about colors and styles. Others know exactly what they want and have a more specific purpose. At least be sure to purchase a pair of sunglasses that block 100% UVA & UVB light rays.
*LENS TINT
A gray lens will help sharpen colors. A green lens is said to be the least change of color perception than any other colors. A brown lens helps cut down blue rays, but for some images may not appear clear and crisp. Amber lenses help cut down glare and help make things appear more clear. Some Hunters and Sharpshooters like the effect of these lenses. There are many colors and shades to pick from so take some time to figure out what is best for you.
*SCRATCH RESISTANT LENSES
Picking out a good quality pair of sunglasses usually will insure that the lens is of good quality as well. Plastic Lenses that are scratch resistant will have a coating to help cut down on scratching. Of course getting yourself a good quality Microfiber Cleaning Bag or Cleaning Cloth will also help protect your shades. Do not forget that a glass lens will be even harder to scratch!
*POLARIZED LENSES
You have probably noticed that fishermen love Polarized Sunglasses while fishing. Using Polarized Sunglasses not only cuts down on the glare coming from the water and other highly reflective surfaces, but they also give you better depth perception when looking straight down into the water. Fish are much more visible and when your in a tournament every advantage counts. Driving in snowy conditions certainly can be hard on the eyes and some say that wearing Polarized Sunglasses while driving thru the rain can give one much better visibility. Make sure you do not forget the kids. Protecting their eyes is just as important as protecting you own if not more so.
