Plays with your color perseption if colorblind. > pink - reduces glare and brightness (snow) > green - good for outdoor EXTRA TIP: Look for gradient glasses (dark at the top of the frame, light at the bottom).

Brown - Plays with Colour perception if you are colourblind. What does this mean? Does it enhance the colours eg red & green to make world more colourful for us. Will brown lenses help us differentiate between red and green.
You Get What You Pay For : No, not with sunglasses necessarily. Ray Ban 10 years ago were cheap to buy. They had lost their pricing power. Then Luxottica bought the brand and simply doubled the price to make them "exclusive". Same product, but now 2-3 times as expensive as the day before Luxottica bought them. So no, sunglasses are a fashion item. Yes, nylon or crown glass will add to cost. But after a certain low minimum ( typically $20), for the vast majority of brands you are paying for the name/brand/fashion cache. You think Gucci design and make their own sunglasses to sell for $800 ? No. All the big fashion brands outsource both the design and manufacture to Luxottica. They give this manufacturer early access to their upcoming collections. Luxottica then make the designs, get approval, and make them all together in the same factory. Same production lines, same process, yet some will cost $150, and some will cost $800. It's all branding. And Luxottica own the biggest lens manufacturer in Europe. And they own big chains for glasses sellers like Sunglasses Hut. They even own heritage brands like Persol. So no, higher price does not equal better quality. Look at Barton Perriera. They have their "Joey" glasses in the new Bond movie. So they've leveraged that to produce 5 new variants, labelled "007", and charge $500 for them. Just simple price gouging of Bond enthusiasts. They are no better quality than a $200 pair.

Ray-Ban and Maui Jim use to be go to brand sunglasses but then I discovered Serengeti. Originally developed by Corning, in 1984 and then acquired by Bushnell. It is now apart of Bollé Brands. I find Serengeti to be optical superior to most other bands.
*I recently discovered your channel; very useful eye care videos. -Does UV protection eventually go away?(especially for people who don’t/can’t buy the most expensive brands) -How often should we replace them? *Thank you!
Thank you Dr I’m a fan of Maui Jim read they are double polarised and I love them expensive but well worth the money. One of them allows going to the sea with too
I have a pair of Maui Jim with glass lenses, the optics on these are great and worth the price. The downside of a glass lens is that they might crack if they hit the ground which mine did, but it still works.
Love the channel! My favourite sunglasses I've ever owned were round john lennon style Carerra sunglasses with a blue tint. I lost them in the sand dunes at a party when I was a teenager (I'm 40 now!)
My grandma was legally blind after cateract surgery in the late 70s, since then I have never gone outside without good sunglasses. I first used RayBan aviators with the brown lens for better contrast when driving, but $120.00 every month or two while I only made $5/hr when they got stolen ended that pretty fast! I was looking for cheap sunglasses that had 100% UVA & UVB when I noticed some wraparound style (like from "Terminator") that were made by the same company that made the sunglasses my grandma was given to wear after her cateract surgery, Solar Comfort, and I have loved them ever since! I used to get them from Walmart but their selection (of Solar Comfort) has diminished by 90% in the last 6 months so now I get them from Walgreens for about $20.00 a pair.
I mainly use grey (almost black) and green tints. Grey/black for regular wearing and green for driving. Grey ones are aviator style and green ones are way farer style
For me, Cocoons polarized fitovers. I love their Amber lenses with the green mirror coating for everyday use and could not have asked for a better pair. I also use their yellow polarized lens in less bright conditions. Absolutely fantastic for wearing over my prescription glasses. They have a grey lens with a blue mirror but I found them somewhat dark and not versatile enough other than In really bright conditions or snow
I've worn Maui Jims for years. I've gone back and forth between brown and grey lenses. Currently sporting grey with blue mirror finish. I hike and kayak, and have a mild preference for brown, but am agnostic when it comes to decision time. I also get my full progressive bifocal prescription in them, as I sometimes am in a kayak and need to read a map. :)
I feel that driving in the sunset is way more dangerous than driving in the night, it blinds me! I'm always afraid of hitting a pedestrian! And no matter if my glasses are polarized or not, there is no way to prevent that.
So, 90% of the problem with driving into the sunset is polarized light. This is from the sunlight hitting the surface of your windshield. It also magnifies any smudges and smears on your windshield. So getting polarized lenses will help immensely. Lastly be sure to use your car sun visor as low as needed to cover the sun and reduce the brightness.
I used to own Oakley, Ray-Ban and Costa but after losing $300 sunglasses I began looking for equal quality at a lower price and it's not hard to find. Arnett's are also made by luxottica and are equal in every way to the Maui Jim's and Costa. Native and hobie also makes a tremendous lens and has incredible frames. All of these can be had for 80 to $100. Serengeti also makes great lenses in the 150 range
Bought a pair of cheap $10 glasses from Walmart about a year ago and am finally getting around to looking for better ones! Any budget-friendly polarized 100% UV protection sunglasses brands you recommend? Love your channel! So glad I found it through your colored contacts videos!
Hey Thank you doc. I am a biker. I go on long rides and sometimes we ride at night. I need some advice as to what glasses to wear to protect from glare of oncoming vehicles.
Hmmm - well a sports wrap frame would be an easy choice - less glare from the sides and less wind drying out the eyes. I would look into Oakley's Prism lenses. One of my colleagues at the clinic is a big biker and loves his.
My son plays baseball. Do you think polarization is better or no polarization for that particular sport? I was thinking the pink lenses would be best too?

Protip for presbyopia patients who want sunglasses. Get the gradient tint so the reading portion of your lens stays nice and clear. Great for reading books at the beach!
Can I wear my regular prescription glass then put the sunglasses directly after. Like I'm wearing 2 glasses. Is it OK? I choose my sunglasses to be much bigger frame, so it didn't look like I wear 2 glasses.
I suppose it may not hurt, but it may look kinda funny. Thankfully they do create "fit over" sunglasses specifically designed for that. There are also clip on sunglasses that may be an option.
Thank you for the information on sunglasses. I was hoping that you were going to say something about a lense that goes dark when exposed to sunlight but goes clear when indoors. Are those lense any good?
I´m never out without sunglasses, and i personally only use and reccomend two brands: oakley for sports, every day activities and very casual settings like beach, a pool party, etc. and the other one more formal is Persol, both have great lens and frame mateials, persol being the more expensive but its quality and attention to detail is unmatched by any other brand(even tho its owned by luxottica)

I got the Oakley Surface Plate in black/red at Eyeglass World. I paid $283 for the frames. I just checked on Ebay and saw them for $69! Damn it. Should have checked first. My vision insurance covered $104, but still $100 cheaper on Ebay.

These are are still very relevant. I know I LOVE glass lenses and encourage everyone to try them out someday. Such a huge difference in optical quality.
Good tips but now I am confused as ever. I've got expensive sun glassses, cheap ones-I won't die if I leave them somewhere, large ones, small ones and the best I have I found on the street. They give me the best view when in my car driving, don't know what kind they are but I love them. There are always sooooo many choices it makes my head swim. Thanks for the video.

I wear Bi Focals, so I purchase reading and sunglasses in the same frame style. I absolutely love the gradient lenses for my sunglasses so that I can read without problems while wearing them. Thanks for these videos.
What would you recommend for a mail carrier at the beach ? Lots of sun, lots of driving, &mostly outdoors. I love the ray ban wayfarer style, but I can’t seem to find any tinted enough and that don’t let sun in from the top.
I have those exact Vera Bradley's! I lost them (as I tend to do with nice sunglasses) and bought the same pair again because I liked them so much :) I run and play tennis so I may buy a different shaded pair for these activities, thanks for the information!
So glad you're loving the Vera Bradley's! They are a nice pair. For your future shades I would consider a green pair for tennis...and consider perhaps a wrap around style for running. But make sure the wrap around doesn't sit too tight to your skin or the frame has "antifog" otherwise your sweat and body heat may fog up the lenses.
They are still good products, although they may be higher priced and the staff may not know as much about the optics as you would find in a glasses shop
@@DoctorEyeHealth i know it’s better to get help from the staff but to look just for a good and affordable pair it’s fine. I got a pair MCM sunglasses at Nordstrom rack at 60 dollars. You can find great bargains there, they have good recognizable brands with real UV protection you won’t get he help you’d get in an optical store but you end up satisfied if you know going what to look for. And what do you think about the sort of emerging brands like Quay Australia, le specs and Diff eyewear. ? Which price range goes from 60-100? Are they good quality or you haven’t tried them ?
How much does the shape of the sunglasses i.e. how much light they let through on the sides matter? And am I correct in assuming that unless the sunglasses enclose your eyes completely darker tints will always be more harmful given they dilate your pupils which would let through the UV light from the sides more?
I hv quite a collection of sunglasses but i hv bought uv protect pairs of different tints or frames just checking if it suits my face - now i hv learnt so much more ! Thnx a lot. 1 question tho - i hv some 'reflective or mirror' type - do they hv any advantage or disadvantage
Blue isnt a real color in nature. Its a trick of the light. Purple too. Historically almost no culture had a name for the color "blue" until a dye was created of it. This is because of the way light works. (natural light, not including blue LEDs) Blue is the maximum energy of visible light when photons bounce off an object, a little energy is left behind and the wavelength is increased. When blue occurs in nature (a couple of birds and flowers) its actually microscopic structures that cause the light to appear to bounce off an object in the "blue" wavelength. Its impossible to leave energy behind and still be at the maximum energy wavelength. Purple is 100% fake because its a combination of the maximum and least energetic wavelengths of visible light. Flowers use chemical and physical structures within petal tissue to create UV coloration, and were human created hybrids, because purple doesn't exist in reality. In reality, color doesn't exist either. Theres a shrimp that can see over 5 times the colors humans can, both types of polarized light, and ultraviolet. Humans see red blue and green, mantis shrimp have 16 different photo receptors on independent eye stalks... [finally shuts up and wanders off]
1:22 Tip #1 -> 100% UV light protection or around 400 nm or less
2:18 Tip #2 -> tint (color) of sunglasses:
> gray - brings down brightness, keeps color vision intact.
> brown (amber) - improves depth perception (driving, any outdoor activity). Plays with your color perseption if colorblind.
> pink - reduces glare and brightness (snow)

Polarized lenses can interfere with reading digital devices ar certain angle, including camera and phone screens.
What lenses are most effective against sensitivity to bright light when night driving?
Try yellow/amber, not too dark
Best type for beach,my percripion glasses got spots on them like salt crystal that wouldn't come off they were dark blackish
How can I be sure that those marking of UV 100% protection really tells the truth? Does the test (that many used) with a UV torch help to work it out?
What are your thought to get sunglasses in outlet stores like Nordstrom rack and Saksoff ?
They are still good products, although they may be higher priced and the staff may not know as much about the optics as you would find in a glasses shop
@@DoctorEyeHealth i know it’s better to get help from the staff but to look just for a good and affordable pair it’s fine. I got a pair MCM sunglasses at Nordstrom rack at 60 dollars.
You can find great bargains there, they have good recognizable brands with real UV protection you won’t get he help you’d get in an optical store but you end up satisfied if you know going what to look for.
And what do you think about the sort of emerging brands like Quay Australia, le specs and Diff eyewear. ?
Which price range goes from 60-100?
Are they good quality or you haven’t tried them ?
Doctor how can we know that it has 100% uv protection
How much does the shape of the sunglasses i.e. how much light they let through on the sides matter? And am I correct in assuming that unless the sunglasses enclose your eyes completely darker tints will always be more harmful given they dilate your pupils which would let through the UV light from the sides more?
what's ur thoughts on Prada sunglasses compared to ray ban
I'm a cyclist so I gravitate towards the POC aspire, Oakley Sutro S, Bollé Shifter, etc.
Do these color differences hold true for clip on sunglasses that fit over prescription glasses?
I hv quite a collection of sunglasses but i hv bought uv protect pairs of different tints or frames just checking if it suits my face - now i hv learnt so much more ! Thnx a lot. 1 question tho - i hv some 'reflective or mirror' type - do they hv any advantage or disadvantage
Hey Doc, which particular model are you wearing for the most part of the video? The one featuring at 7:51.
Those are a rayban aviator
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks, but can you please provide a link? Unable to find that model anywhere.
U find out? I’m trying to get that same model as well
Hello Doctor. What would you say is the effect of blue tints?
Blue isnt a real color in nature. Its a trick of the light. Purple too.
Historically almost no culture had a name for the color "blue" until a dye was created of it.
This is because of the way light works. (natural light, not including blue LEDs)
Blue is the maximum energy of visible light when photons bounce off an object, a little energy is left behind and the wavelength is increased. When blue occurs in nature (a couple of birds and flowers) its actually microscopic structures that cause the light to appear to bounce off an object in the "blue" wavelength.
Its impossible to leave energy behind and still be at the maximum energy wavelength.
Purple is 100% fake because its a combination of the maximum and least energetic wavelengths of visible light. Flowers use chemical and physical structures within petal tissue to create UV coloration, and were human created hybrids, because purple doesn't exist in reality.
In reality, color doesn't exist either.
Theres a shrimp that can see over 5 times the colors humans can, both types of polarized light, and ultraviolet.
Humans see red blue and green, mantis shrimp have 16 different photo receptors on independent eye stalks...

How about prescription lens for sunglasses? Do they make them?
Oh sure, any optical should be able to do that.
Good tips 👍😎
