Do your sunglasses get the job done?
HEALTH & WELLNESS
10.21.2014
Sunglasses are more than a fashion statement. When you're shopping for shades, skip sunglasses that are labeled "cosmetic" and those that don't offer details about UV protection. Instead look for sunglasses that provide at least 95 percent protection from UVA and 99 percent protection from UVB light. If you wear glasses for vision problems, ask your eye doctor about having your glasses treated with a material that provides UV protection.
