Due to the strong sunlight in summer, do you like to wear a large pair of sunglasses when driving or going out to prevent the glare of the sunlight. But did you choose the right sunglasses? If you choose the wrong sunglasses, not only will the sun shine blind, but in serious cases, it can also lead to traffic accidents. Although sunglasses are small, there are many misunderstandings inside.
Misconception 1: The darker the color, the better
Many people assume that the darker the color, the better the UV protection function. In fact, the function of sunglasses to filter ultraviolet rays is only related to the film they are coated with, and the darker the color, the better. Especially for long-distance drivers, if they wear sunglasses that are too dark in color, their eyes are more prone to fatigue, and entering tunnels and other dimly lit areas from strong sunlight is also more dangerous.
Misconception 2: Polarizing lenses are the most suitable
Many drivers like to wear polarizers. Indeed, polarizers can reduce strong light, eliminate glare, and make the line of sight naturally soft. However, in fact, polarizers are more suitable for environments with large areas of reflection such as fishing and skiing. Sometimes, drivers have to face scenes with dim light such as tunnels, which can easily make people suddenly appear dark. In addition, polarizers can make the color of LCD screens and LED traffic lights lighter. Therefore, when choosing polarizing lenses, it is best to choose high-quality optical lenses, and when passing through tunnels, it is best to remove the glasses in advance and blink more.
Misconception 3: Not wearing myopia glasses
Some drivers have mild myopia, and it is not a problem to drive without wearing glasses. But once you put on sunglasses, the problem arises: your eyes are more prone to fatigue, and your vision will also decline, just like driving at night can affect your vision. So, drivers with mild myopia have no problem driving normally. If they need to wear sunglasses, they must be equipped with lenses with myopia degree.
