Be sure to get sunglasses that comply with British Standards and give 100% UV protection. We guarantee all Conlons sunglasses in this respect. Cheap (often counterfeit) sunglasses are widely available through car boot sales and websites however they are more dangerous than not wearing any sunglasses at all if they don't give full UV protection.

Behind a dark lens your pupils are bigger and if the lens does not block out UV then you could be getting up to 800% more dangerous UV radiation to the back of your eye. UV is implicated in AMD, cataracts and the aging of the skin around the eye so it wise to ensure you wear good quality eye protection.
