I saw the “Sunglasses for sale Philippines” and I got curious about sunglasses.  I ask myself, should I get one? But I don’t know how to choose the perfect sunglasses for me and what frames will be perfect for my face shape? (This Blog helped me in deciding what eyeglasses frame will best suit me.)

At first, I don’t know that there are types of sunglasses. You don’t just buy a pair of sunglasses; you need to know what type fits your need. In general, there are three types of sunglasses, cosmetic, general purpose, and special-purpose sunglasses.

Cosmetic Sunglasses

This first type of sunglasses is primarily used as fashion accessories only. It does not provide significant protection from bright light or from sunlight. This is most popular among celebrity personalities who use it to hide their identity in public to avoid attention from their fans while doing their normal day to day activities. Others use it just to look more attractive and elegant.

General Purpose Sunglasses

This second type of sunglasses is used for bright light glare reduction purposes. Activities which requires this type of sunglasses includes driving in daylight or bright sunlight and staying in beach resorts in tropical areas.

Special Purpose Sunglasses

The third type is the special-purpose sunglasses. This type is used by people that are sensitive to glare. Others use this for skiing and other activities that are affected by glare.

You have to know what type meet your need.  There is different color, shade and UV penetration range in each type.  Each range has their recommended type or application. The most advisable colors are brown and gray. Each color has its shade number, and the UV penetration is less from cosmetic, general purpose, and special-purpose sunglasses.

I hope that this post be of help to you in choosing the right sunglasses.  Not only meet your need but also understand the purpose of each type of sunglasses.

Sunglasses for Sale Philippines is the most used tagline for selling eyewear and sunglasses here in the Philippines. Especially this past summer vacation, this line became the most advertised commercial tag line. But what really are sunglasses? Let us discover how this optical eyewear started.

According to Wikipedia, sunglasses or sun glasses are protective eyewear that prevents the bright sunlight from damaging the eyes. With it, the eyes will not experience discomfort due to high energy visible light and from ultraviolet radiation. It can also be used for persons who have just undergone an eye operation to protect the eyes from dust.

Sunglasses are often used during summer, not just for eye protection, but also for the fashion accessory. That fancy eyewear can be seen especially on beach and resorts. Men and women wear those to improve their appearance and be more attractive.

The development of sunglasses can be dated prehistorically when the Inuit people wore flattened ivory with narrow slits to block the harmful rays from the sun. The flattened ivories are said to be a resemblance of the modern day sunglasses.

Meanwhile, in the 12^th century China, ancient documents described that the judges from the courts used crystal sunglasses to conceal their expressions while questioning witnesses.

There are many other developments with the sunglasses, but we will jump in time until we reach the early 1920s. During this period, the popularity of sunglasses started to increase as the stars in the movies uses them to avoid being recognized by their fans. Later those years, the mass production of sunglasses reached 20 million.

Today, there are many optical chains that offer several types of sunglasses. Polarized sunglasses, 3D sunglasses, and many other became more popular compared to the classic designed sunglasses. Almost every industry incorporates sunglasses, from sports, movies, and even fashion industries uses sunglasses.
