Sunglasses as tools are something with very basic functionality- to protect our eyes from the various harmful components in the sun rays that enter the atmosphere of the Earth. Consider them to be exactly like spectacles minus the part where instead of being used for being used in correcting eyesight related issues, they are used to protect the eyes while adding a whole other sense of style and sophistication to the overall appearance of an individual.
TYPES OF SUNGLASSES
The use of sunglasses in the modern world is not just limited to being used for protection against sunlight’s harmful components. The same concept with a variation in the design and build of the lenses is used in sports such as swimming, cycling, etc, in computer glasses to reduce the stress on the eyes while glaring at the screens for prolonged periods, and in a lot of other places. With a wide range of applications, sunglasses have found themselves coming in various designs to accentuate the looks of people in the best manner possible. The business has developed in such a rapid and efficient manner that even the biggest of brands and companies have started to make custom party sunglasses for people because custom made glasses have become a trending gift to give to someone on their special days. The most common and trending frames for sunglasses at present are-
Aviators
Aviators can be best recognized as the types of glasses that pilots have been seen wearing for a long time. A thin metal frame with dropped shade lenses has been one of the most favorite designs amongst people for a long time now.
Round
The frame design of round sunglasses is not fixed at all. They come in various shapes such as skinny, thick, large, small with either a metallic or a plastic finish. Their name is derived from the shape of the lenses used- round.
Cat Eye
Cat frames are one of the most beloved frames amongst the youth these days. The design may be retro, but the flaunt that they pull off is completely modern and chic. Resembling the eyes of a cat, the upswept angles of the frame are just worth drooling over.
Brow bars
Yet another favorite design amongst various age categories in the modern world. Be it hipsters, the middle-aged, the youth, the young, the teenagers, there are not many that would give away the chance to own a pair of these iconic and cool looking glasses. Donning the shape of aviators, brow glasses have an additional second stick running from one end of the frame to the other giving away a funky yet a cool look.
IMPORTANCE OF BUYING HIGH-QUALITY SUNGLASSES
As discussed, sunglasses are primarily designed for the protection of the eyes against a lot of things. But other than that and more often than not, we use them for fashion and styling purposes. There’s no stopping anyone from doing so, but at the same time, it should be ensured that they are polarized properly to keep our eyes safe and comfortable from the various elements looking to take their toll on our eyes. Given the fact that eyes are one of the 5 senses of the human body, we must ensure their protection.
Sunglasses apart from safety purposes have also become one of the best gifts to give to people in the form of wedding glasses favor, birthday glasses, anniversary presents, etc. The popularity of them being used as gifts especially in the form of personalized sunglasses favors (for custom made stuff is more indicative of the love and care showed) have made it a multi-billion dollar industry. So, always make sure that you buy the right kind of glasses as gifts to your beloved!
