Sunglasses shade your eyes, so the pupil opens wide and over-rides your body\u2019s natural defenses against the damage of UV rays.<\/li>\n<li>Choose sunglasses with 100% UV protection. Otherwise you\u2019ll actually allow more damage to your eyes by wearing sunglasses.<\/li>\n<li>Look for a label on the lenses of the glasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>For sports, choose wrap-around styles for a secure fit. Specialized tints to help you see better<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To see uneven pavements, try a yellow tint,<\/li>\n<li>To see balls that can hide in the grass, try a red tint.<\/li>\n<li>To see better with water sports, try polarized lenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Flatter Your Face<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How do you choose sunglasses to flatter your face?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In general, if you have an angular face, choose rounded frames.
