   The evolution and the need to protect our eyes from the direct rays of the sun can be traced back to early man. Doubt it! To substantiate this point, consider this, before the advent of the sunglasses; we have held our palm against our forehead to keep direct light of the sun from hurting our eyes. Women in ancient days have all but hidden themselves albeit seductively behind a fancy hand fan or a parasol that covered most of their face. These practices gave way as modernisation set in.

   It is interesting to note that sunglasses have evolved from being a mere weapon to conceal eye expression as was practiced in12th Century China. It is beneficial for us to wear sunglasses to protect our eyes from harmful UV rays as studies have revealed that clear skies allow 100 percent of UV rays reach earth's surface.

   Contrary to popular belief, light does not travel in a straight line; it deflects from one surface to another. Statistics reveal that glass reflects 2.5 to 3 percent of UV rays, sand reflects 20 to 30 percent of UV rays, snow and ice can reflect 80 to 90 percent of UV rays and depending on the angle of reflection water can reflect a full 100 percent of UV rays.

   How many of us are aware that sunglasses are needed for cloudy days too? Clouds are basically condensed water particles and it thus does not act as a barrier for UV rays. Studies reveal that scattered clouds allow 89 percent and overcast clouds allow 32 percent of UV rays to reach earth's surface. Since water molecules are UV transparent the use of sunglasses on a cloudy day is necessitated.

   The benefit of wearing sunglasses is primarily to protect eyes. The aggressive marketing strategies and rampant commercialisation has made sunglasses a fashion symbol. The direct outfall of modernism caught up with us and we are allured to wearing sunglasses irrespective of the solar glare, making what was a necessity at the start to what it is now thus helping an industry that was non-existent a few decades back to grow into a giant of an industry now.

   How do we choose the right colour lens for our sunglasses? We must know the nature of our work and decide accordingly on the colour of the lens.

   Grey lenses are most commonly used. It is not by accident but by design as Grey is the neutral colour and it does not distort or effect contrast. Colours Red, Yellow, Orange, Green and Brown increase contrast and clarity. Brown, Green, Yellow and Orange increase depth perception and reduce glare. Red lenses however distort other colours. Don't make your choice immediately. Free Try the chosen colour, take them out into the light check the deflection. One sure way of knowing the trueness of the sunglasses is when it is held at any angle to the light, the light should deflect at an angle. Before you put your money on an expensive pair, make sure that you FEEL comfortable in them.

   Style plays an important role. In today's world we have to be many steps ahead of our closest rival. It would wear well if we bear in mind that the most important aspect of developing our style is to remain true to our self.

   Fashion is cyclic and is all about evolving. What was considered taboo not too long ago is fashion today the old is reborn and what is new becomes passé. Clichés aside style is about looking good. Attitude stems from confidence, and a large part of style is attitude.

   But with trends changing faster an individual's ability to keep pace with it becomes that much more difficult. But personality building comes with a price tag attached. Liability to the pocket that controls the purse strings. Various brands of Designer Sunglasses are available today in market including Oakley Sunglasses, Ray ban Sunglasses, Police Sunglasses and more.
