Why Prescription Sunglasses Are a Must in the UAE
The UAE experiences high levels of UV radiation throughout the year. Prolonged sun exposure can increase the risk of:
- Cataracts
- Macular degeneration
- Temporary or permanent vision loss
Regular sunglasses protect against UV rays, but if you wear prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses allow you to enjoy crystal-clear vision and shield your eyes from harmful sunlight.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Prescription Sunglasses
1. UV Protection
Look for 100% UVA & UVB protection or UV400-rated lenses. This ensures maximum defense against harmful rays.
2. Lens Material
- Polycarbonate – Lightweight, impact-resistant, ideal for active lifestyles
- Glass – Exceptional clarity, but heavier and more breakable
- Plastic – Affordable, but less durable without coatings
3. Lens Coatings
Enhance your lenses for better comfort and performance:
- Anti-Reflective Coating – Reduces glare for sharper vision
- Polarized Coating – Cuts reflections from roads, water, and glass
- Mirror Coating – Minimizes glare in bright environments
4. Frame Material & Style
Choose frames that fit your face comfortably, reflect your style, and are built to last:
- Metal – Sleek and lightweight
- Plastic – Durable and available in endless designs
- Titanium – Ultra-strong, hypoallergenic, and lightweight
5. Prescription Compatibility
Not all frames can hold prescription lenses. Ensure your chosen style supports your lens requirements.
Tips for Picking the Perfect Pair
- Get an Updated Eye Exam – Accurate prescription ensures optimal clarity.
- Choose the Right Lens Material – Polycarbonate for sports, high-index for strong prescriptions, glass for clarity.
- Prioritize UV Protection – Always choose UV400-rated lenses.
- Select the Right Tint – Grey for everyday wear, brown for contrast, yellow for low light.
- Match Your Lifestyle – Sporty frames for active use, polarized lenses for driving, lightweight designs for daily wear.
- Set a Budget – Quality matters more than brand; invest in good lenses for better eye health.
