Cheap Sunglasses

Did you know Cheap Sunglasses actually cost you more in the long-run? And no, I'm not just talking about your wallet/pocketbook.


Jeff Tyson wrote a great article on HowStuffWorks.com entitled "How Sunglasses Work". In it he explains the four things a GOOD pair of sunglasses should do for you:
  1. Sunglasses provide protection from ultraviolet rays in sunlight
  2. Sunglasses provide protection from intense light
  3. Sunglasses provide protection from glare
  4. Sunglasses eliminate specific frequencies of light
Jeff states that "when you buy a cheap pair of sunglasses, you often give up all of those benefits and can even make things worse." Check out the rest of this article, and when you're ready, stop by one of our locations in Atlanta or purchase a good, quality pair of sunglasses online from SunglassWarehouse.net. Your eyes will thank you!

Sunscreen For Your Eyes

Did you know that sunglasses are like sunscreen for your eyes? Cheaper sunglasses may mask the brightness of the sun but they don't in fact protect your eyes from the harmful UV Rays. When considering items to save or splurge on, sunglasses without a doubt fall into the splurge category. A good pair of sunglasses (saying you don't sit on them or run them over) can last you YEARS. Let's break this down mathematically...

Say you spend $40 on a cheap pair of sunglasses that only last you a couple of months, compounded over 20 years, that's $800 on glasses you would be spending on top of trips to the eye doctor for eye glasses/contact lenses as a result of the lack of UV protection.

However, say you spend $120 every four years on a good quality pair of sunglasses with optimal UV protection. That equates to about $600 over 20 years and you won't be needing to constantly be worrying about your vision fading as a result of direct radiation from the sun.

Given those two options, the choice is easy: SPLURGE and save your eyes! Don't forget! Unlike singlasses, we only get one pair for our entire lives.
