Low price should not be a decisive factor in buying sunglasses, warns the German Association for Consumer Protection…
Cheap sunglasses models can seriously damage your eyes because they offer minimal protection against ultraviolet rays, warns the German Green Cross Association.
In addition, dark glasses cause dilation of the pupils making the eyes even more exposed to UV rays.
Long use of such glasses can cause symptoms such as snow blindness or cataract.
Therefore, customers should focus on the quality of glasses.
Association recommends sunglasses that offer at least UV-400 protection, which stops all the dangerous rays.
The CE mark guarantees that the glasses offer such protection.
