How do you know if sunglasses protect against UV rays?

UV protection and Certification
Sunglasses protect the eyes from harmful UV rays. However, it is not the dark color of the lenses that is important, but the proven protection. Choose sunglasses with the label "100% UV protection" or "UV400", which guarantees blocking of both UVA and UVB rays. Quality manufacturers often state whether their models comply with international standards for UV protection.

Material and Fit
The quality of the sunglasses is reflected in the materials and certificates. Make sure to buy models from retailers who can document the product's UV protection. It is also important to try on the sunglasses to ensure they fit correctly and maintain full protection.

Investing in Eye Protection
Choosing sunglasses with proven UV protection is an investment in your eye health. Read product descriptions carefully and choose models that meet the strictest requirements. Avoid products without reliable guarantees, as they often do not provide adequate protection.
