Sunglasses

When selecting sunglasses, it is important to choose ones that provide adequate UV protection. Look for sunglasses that are labeled as blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, consider the lens color and tint, as different colors can affect how you perceive colors and contrast.

Overall, sunglasses are a popular accessory that combines style and functionality to protect the eyes and enhance visual comfort in bright conditions.
