Did you know that wearing glasses that dont have uv protection can actually increase damage to the eyes. This happens by allowing the pupils to open more due to the shade effect, which in turn, allows more uv rays into the eyes more than not wearing them.

Good to know that more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better. Thanks for all the great videos Dr Eye!

I only buy polarized sun glasses now. They are especially helpful for winter driving. That snow blindness from the glare is intense.

Very interesting Doc, but these were all things that i already knew myself (i've done quite a bit of extensive research!). What i am very interested to hear your thoughts about is: do wraparound sunglasses work better than the more flat varieties? Let me rephrase that: what i'd like to know is: are curved lenses better, both optically and functionwise, than the flatter ones?
I have floaters in both my eyes, am light-sensitive (which more often than not triggers migraines), and definitely need a dark sun lens, polarized of course.
Would be great if you could also tell me more about the best sun lens tints (brown / grey / green).
Thanks!

Oakley claims sunglasses with prizm issues can cause eye damage over time. Is that true?

I kinda want to buy some big ol sunglasses to protect the skin around the eyes as well but they just mention UV protection: 3N.
I couldn’t make sense if category 3 also means UV400, any insight for me? 😅

Which brands would you recommend, Doc? Past use includes Ray-Ban, Oakley, and safety/sunglasses.

[celestialhys]

i bought cheap sunglasses with uv 400 (and categorie 3). I wanted to know how often should i change them? I saw 2 years on google, maybe every year if i wear them frequently?

Is a polycarbonate lensed sunglass naturally UV A and UV b 100% filter or does it rely on the coating applied? What types of sunglass lens that when the coating is worn out or scratch makes it useless?

Dr. What can you tell an eye doctor that sunglasses are not effective when asking for a medical tint exemption? He might say wear sunglasses. What do you say to respond?

I am legally blind & color blind. Bright sunlight is a killer for me. It’s like a whiteout effect. It’s hard to walk around & focus. Can you recommend sunglasses that would fit over my glasses. Thx 😎
