good sunglasses

hi, just found out i have pinguecula and was told to wear good sunglasses (of course with UV protection)

just wondering if there is any particular one i should look for or are they all the same as long as it 'says' UV protected. I have some 5dollar flea market ones now, but think i should spend more money on some good ones, any advice?


Thanks!

Re: good sunglasses

If you're not afriad of loss or theft I'd go for something more than the minimum. Well known brand names often offer better quality lenses with less distortion. Look for good UV protection, wraparound or large lenses, gray or blue tint. I read that for some reason the brown or yellow tints don't offer as good protection. More expensive pairs often give better scratch resistance, but not always. Buy a hard case to go with them and use it.
