Sunglasses are more than just a stylish accessory. They are your first line of defense against harmful UV rays. Of course you want them to fit well and look nice, but the real essence lies in protection. Quality lenses, advanced filters and a thoughtful coating ensure that your eyes are not exposed to harmful rays. Good sunglasses block as much as 99% to 100% of UV rays, so you can enjoy the sun carefree, without putting your eyes at risk.

What kind of UV rays are there?

Have you ever noticed that you squeeze your eyes in bright light? That’s your natural reflex to protect your eyes. The human eye can perceive light with a wavelength between 380 nm and 780 nm, but not all the light that surrounds us is visible or harmless. Outside this range is UV radiation, consisting of UVC, UVB and UVA, which is invisible but dangerous to your eyes. Without proper protection, this radiation can cause long-term damage. So a good pair of sunglasses is not a luxury, but a must-have.

Every pair of sunglasses in our collection offers 100% protection against harmful UVC, UVB and UVA radiation. So you are always assured of optimal eye protection. You can see this on the label of the sunglasses, where the UV filtering is indicated. Does it say UV400? Then this means that all radiation up to 400 nm is blocked. Fully compliant with the strict European guidelines.

Pay close attention to the CE mark

Every pair of sunglasses in our collection carries the CE mark, your guarantee of quality and protection according to European standards. In addition to the CE mark, the sunglasses have a number from 0 to 4, which indicates how much light the lenses filter. The higher the number, the better the protection against glare. Did you know that category 4 glasses absorb 92 to 97 percent of light? With us, you are guaranteed category 3 sunglasses. Minimum!

What color glasses will you choose?

Choosing black or brown glasses is personal, but did you know that the color has nothing to do with UV protection? It is a big misconception that dark glasses automatically protect better. What they do do is filter more visible light and reduce glare.

We will briefly tell you which color lenses are perfect for your eyes:
– Brown lenses: These lenses increase contrast and provide a sharper image, ideal for nearsighted people. Colors may change slightly, but that small sacrifice provides improved depth perception.
– Gray lenses: This is the most neutral option. They reduce the brightness of sunlight without distorting colors.
– Yellow glasses: Reduce the blue haze of sunlight and enjoy clear vision even in foggy weather. Ideal for driving.
– Green lenses: Enjoy razor-sharp details. These lenses increase contrast and let you distinguish objects better. But beware: they are less suitable for color-blind people.
– Pink lenses: The choice for water sports enthusiasts. These lenses increase contrast against a blue or green background, giving you optimal visibility on the water.

Polarized lenses or not?

Troubled by blinding glare on a wet road, a snowy landscape or a sunlit lawn? Polarized sunglasses are the solution. This clever filter blocks annoying reflections, reducing eye strain and keeping your vision razor sharp. Standard sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the brightness of sunlight, but leave reflections unaffected. Wondering which sunglasses you should include in your assortment?
