7 Signs you need new sunglasses

You may have not thought about it, but maybe it is time to change your sunglasses! We have listed 7 signs you need new sunglasses. Our eyes constantly work so that we can navigate the world around us. But, just like any other part of our body, our eyes need to be nurtured and protected. If you find yourself squinting, experiencing teary eyes, or struggling to see clearly, it might be time for a new eyewear purchase. We’ll explore seven signs that indicate the need for an update to your sunnies. So, let’s dive in and discover the telltale signs that a fresh pair of sunglasses will bring you newfound clarity and comfort.

1. Squinting way too often!

Do you often find yourself squinting to read signs or see objects when you are outdoors? Frequent squinting means that your current sunglasses are not providing adequate protection from the sun’s glare. If squinting is a regular habit, then it’s a clear reason that it’s time to buy 100% UV-protected and polarized sunglasses so that you can keep your eyes wide open on a sunny day.

2. Red, teary, and irritated eyes

If your eyes are teary, feel strained, or irritated after prolonged periods outdoors, then your current eyewear is really not up to the task. If your sunglasses lack the proper lens technology, such as 100% anti-UV filters and polarization, this can contribute to eye strain, irritation, and hence teary eyes. Investing in better sunnies with specialized filters can alleviate eye strain and help you maintain comfortable vision throughout the day.

3. Blurred vision

Polarization and UV-protection helps to not only protect your eyes but reduce the glare and blurred vision that is caused by bright sunlight

One of the most obvious signs that you need new sunglasses is experiencing blurred vision. Blurred vision is a clear indicator that your current sunglasses does not provide the proper protection you need against the sun’s rays. When your eyes are overexposed to the harmful UV rays of the sun, they can get damaged causing a temporary “sunburn” to the cornea of the eye. This results in either blurry vision or temporary blindness also known as Photokeratitis.

4. Headaches

Some people are prone to light-induced migraine episodes due to lower tolerance to light. But most people may not immediately have a headache while outside, but it may be building. The sun emits a spectrum of light wavelengths, the strongest of these being high-energy visible light known as blue light. Blue light is everywhere, from device screens and many artificial sources also. It is the most painful color of light for people with migraines and can cause it. Wearing proper polarized and UV-protected sunglasses reduces the amount of glare and reflection that enters the eyes and blocks the harmful wavelengths. The polarization will also make the lenses darker, which will also decrease migraine attacks and headaches.

5. Aging frames or Physical damage

Nothing escapes the damage of time, including your sunglasses. If your frames have wear and tear, such as scratches, peeling, or discoloration, it’s a clear indicator that you need to change them. Worn-out frames look bad and also affect the functionality and fit of your frames. Scratched lenses affect your vision and damage your eyesight over time. If your sunglasses are broken, forget the sticky tape that will not hold long enough, not look good and get irritating. At Helios Eyewear in Mauritius, old and broken pairs are brought to the stores, we give them a Second Life and customers use the 15% discount they get in return to treat themselves to a new, stylish, and eco-responsible pair.

6. Outdated Style

Fashion trends change, and style preferences do too! If your current sunglasses no longer reflect your personality or you feel like embracing a new look, it’s time to update your frames. Sunglasses can be a fashion statement or can complement your look, allowing you to express your individuality all while enjoying improved vision. But when they become out of style, leave them in the past and move on to the new. Always opt for more classic styles but in a color that complements your skin tone and personality! This ensures that the sunglass will not be out of fashion fast and will work with all your outfits allowing you to have more wear for your purchase.
