Are expensive sunglasses necessary for good eye protection?

Sunglasses and Eye Protection
As the sun gets stronger, it is important that sunglasses protect the eyes from harmful UV radiation. Central to choosing sunglasses is that they meet international safety standards and have documented both UVA and UVB protection.

Price and Quality
Price may reflect added benefits such as advanced materials, design and increased comfort, but it does not guarantee better eye protection. Sunglasses that meet the corresponding safety standards will protect your eyes, whether they cost 300 kr. or 3000 kr.

Correct Choice
Choose sunglasses based on documented specifications and standards. It is important to check product certificates and read reviews to ensure you are getting both quality and functionality. Comfort and design also play a role in comfortable use, but they should never take precedence over the primary task: protecting your eyes.
