You might wonder what UV rays are. They are rays from the sun that are harmful both to your eyes and skin.

Comparing cheap and designer sunglasses:

Now just because the other one is very expensive compared to the other does not mean it offers better protection. Most sunglasses manufacturers put a sticker label on the glasses indicating how many percentages it can block UV rays. If the labeling displays block 99 percent UVB and 95 percent UVA then that is the right kind of sunglasses that will help protect your eyes. Always double check if the protection is clearly labeled on the sunglasses. If you do not see them or not sure, do not buy them because some sunglasses which do not offer this protection can double the harm it will bring to your eyes.
