Sunglasses aren t just to make you look stylish while you lounge on the beach. You must wear them to protect your eyes from UV damage. You will find dozens of a pair in different colours, styles and shapes to suit your look. While you may shell out a lot of money on a designer pair, the style might be the only thing they offer. These tips by eye specialist Dr AK Sahoo will help you buy the right pair of sunglasses. Also Read - Prevent cognitive decline: Go for routine eye scans if you have type 1 diabetes

UV protection: You need to ensure that your pair guarantees 100% UV protection. The UV rays from the sun can lead to cataracts and snow blindness which is temporary but painful sunburn of the eyes. UV rays can also cause damage to your retina that can impact your vision. Also, remember that the tint of the lens has nothing to do with UV protection. And if you re not sure if your sunglasses have UV protection, get them tested at an ophthalmologist. Also Read - Retinal diseases often lead to blindness, but a new treatment shows promise

Fitting: Do not wear an ill-fitting pair of sunglasses as it can let the UV rays get into your eyes or the skin around your eyes. We are not saying that you should wear one that sticks to your brow, but you do not want to wear one that is too big or pushed way out. Sunglasses that wrap well around your eyes can keep away the allergens and block the stray UV light. These 6 habits also harm your eyes.

Polarised glasses: Polarised sunglasses are excellent to give you a clear vision in extreme sun. Although they have nothing to do with sun protection, they act as a filter to absorb light waves and reduce the glare on the beach, water and snow.

Shape: When it comes to the shape of the frame, opt for frames that do not match the shape of your face, says stylist Janet Fernandez. For example, if your face is round, choose for rectangular glasses. Aviators can be good for balancing out a narrow jawline and broad forehead. These tips will help you find the right sunglasses for your face shape.
