There’s an informative story over on the Beauty Brains blog today that addresses sunglasses and whether or not you need to shell out big money for a designer pair in order to really protect your eyes. The answer? Actually no.
The article’s main points are how ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can burn (scary!) the corneas and conjunctivas of your eyes, causing all manner of issues, including cataracts. And, though there are some basic guidelines set by the “American National Standards Institute,” the FDA doesn’t regulate sunglasses, so you’re kind of on your own with this purchase and need to be informed.
