Most of us these days have had the message hammered home about
protecting our skin from the sun. But what about sun damage to
our eyes? If you have spent any time at all outside in bright
glaring sunlight you will recall the feeling of gritty irritable
eyes afterwards. Is this discomfort temporary or can your eyes be
damaged permanently by the sun?

Why do eye experts recommend good quality sunglasses? And what
does good quality mean? Some people think it’s all about glare
and how best to see in bright conditions on the beach and
snowfields, but that’s not the true danger. The nasty damage
comes from invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays are
dangerous because they are high energy radiation and are present
in even the weakest sunlight. Although you can’t see UV rays you
can see and feel the damage. Anyone who has ever been sunburned
knows how much pain UV rays can cause!

How the Sun Affects You Eyes and why Sunglasses are Important

There is something about a pair of sunglasses that makes them
arguably one of the most quintessential ‘must-have’ items of all
time. Not only are they immensely practical, offering protection
from the dangers of the sun, they are an enormously versatile
fashion accessory, available in a huge range of styles, colors
and prices to suit every pocket. Given their worldwide
popularity, sunglass manufacturing has become a very lucrative,
but highly competitive industry and while some manufacturers rise
and wane in the public affections, there is one company that
remains forever synonymous with the eyeglasses that protect our
eyes from the rays of the sun: Ray-Ban

Although Us President, Benjamin Franklin, is often credited with
inventing eyeglasses (he was the one who developed the first
bifocal lens in the 1780’s), the first reading glasses were
developed in Italy, as early as 1260. People continued to be
fascinated by all things optical throughout the centuries that
followed, then, in the mid-eighteen hundreds British scientist
James Ayscough began to research tinted glass, and the
possibility that such technology may be used to improve vision
impaired eyesight. As successful as he was, it was not until 1929
that the idea that glasses could filter the sun’s rays was given
any serious consideration. At that time, U.S. optical company,
Foster Grant, began to develop the idea further, until finally,
later that same year, the first ever pair of sunglasses were sold
from a Woolworth’s store on the Atlantic City boardwalk.

While there are hundreds of names in sunglass brands, the most sought after designs are made by designers such as Chanel, Dior, Oakley, Prada, Gucci and others of fashion fame. Most of the popular models are defined by their trademark logos which make them their selling point.

Many replicas will mimic these logos, or slightly alter them in order to legally sell the replica sunglasses. A case in point is Chanel. Its classic logo, the initial C placed back to back, is often slightly altered as exact replica sunglasses would be counterfeit and, therefore, illegal.

While original designs for many fashions may start at $150, replicas of these usually start at $20. Like any other replica product, though, the quality of replica sunglasses usually depends on how much you pay for them. Shoppers also should beware of retailers who are looking to scam customers. A legitimate retailer will always tell you everything about the replica in order to help you make an informed decision.
