PERFECT SUNGLASSES FOR ASIAN AND AFRICAN CUSTOMERS
New lines of sunglasses target Asian and African customers, and this is really new as until now it has always been difficult for Asians and Africans to find the perfect sunglasses for their face and nose shape.
Fireworks and dancing dragons will welcome the Chinese new Year of the Rat on February 7th, but African people also have something else to celebrate with the Chinese, Thai, Malay, Indian, and other Asian people: new lines of trendy and proper-fitting sunglasses.
Indeed, Oakley's Asian Fit line of sunglasses is a new collection of sunglasses especially made for Asians and Africans because this line fits higher on your face with a narrower and deepened bridge to help to lift the sunglasses off the face of a person with a shallower nose bridge and higher cheek bones, the usual shape of Asian and African people.
Oakley is the first international brand to offer an Asian Fit line of sunglasses but Oliver Peoples will also introduce soon a line of frames for Asians, as well as Gap and its petite line which is aimed towards Asian customers.
But the Asian Fit line of sunglasses isn't actually only made for Asian and African as some other consumers might also find that these glasses fit better for their face, even if they are not Asian or African.
Asian who have tried these new Asian Fit sunglasses have found that they fit great and rest on their nose and not their cheeks as usual sunglasses, and the most important, these sunglasses stayed on their face as they were moving around.
They reported that when wearing these Asian Fit sunglasses they almost forgot that they were wearing them, which is the best compliment you can do to perfect fitting sunglasses.
Thanks to these new sunglasses no more creases on the nose, no more imprints on the cheeks because of the rims, and the sunglasses won't fall of the head because of being too wide.
Asian and African people now have their own perfect fitting line of sunglasses, Happy Chinese New Year of the rat !

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SUNGLASSES
There is such a large selection of sunglasses styles, prices and features that it can be difficult to decide which pair to buy.
So before going to your local optical shop to buy a new pair of designer sunglasses, you should know few things that can be useful, and because it can be harmful to choose a pair of sunglasses just because of the look.
First of all never forget that sunglasses are made to protect your eyes and that you are going to wear them sometime for a full day, so you need the best eye protection and the most comfortable frames.
You need the best UV protection and your sunglasses must provide protection from ultraviolet radiation, a component of sunlight that contributes to eye diseases and problems, and your sunglasses lenses should block at least 99% of UVA and UVB radiation, with UVA 400 or 100% UV protection written on the frame, what most of the fake replica sunglasses can't bring.
Sunglasses lens materials also are important and are not the same depending on the brand and factory, so be careful: UV filtering is one coating that apply to sunglass lenses, but there are many others as sunglass lens tints with colors applied to sunglass lenses to help absorb light as it passes through them.
The color of the lenses is mostly is a matter of personal taste, but your choice can be guided by some consideration:
- Gray lenses tint reduce brightness without distorting the colors
- Brown and amber tints reduce glare more than gray tint does
- Yellow lenses reduce the haze from blue light better than browns
- Green lenses reduce glare and help filter out some of the blue light with good contrast for objects
- Purple lenses are good for water sports and other outdoor activities
Another point is polarization which helps reduce the glare created when light bounces off of some objects, such as water, highways and other similar surfaces, so it can be useful.
Some sunglasses have a thin coating applied on lenses to make them more resistant to scratches and anyway plastic lenses get scratches more easily than glass lenses.
If you like mirrored lenses think twice before buying a pair as mirrored lenses scratch easily.
Quite new, photochromatic (also called photochromic) lenses become darker in a few minutes when exposed to UV radiation, and this type is really in trend.
Anti-reflective coatings reduce the reflection caused by light that hits the back side of lenses, keeping it from bouncing into your eyes, but this is useful only if your sunglasses are small ones.
Sunglasses frames are made from plastic, metal, titanium, aluminum and many other materials as carbon, but you need to buy sunglasses made of the material you feel the most comfortable with. Also compare weight and never forget that plastic can melt under strong sun or if your forget your frames in your car.
If you are under the sun rays most of your time because of outdoor activity or job, consider buying sunglasses that wrap around to your temples to keep out more light and UV radiation than with typical sunglasses.
Sunglasses for this season are hotter and brighter than ever and if you are looking for trendy sunglasses for this summer 2007 have a look at the bold and vibrant colors available.
Jewel encrusted sunglasses replaced brands logo sunglasses, and aviators, metallic frames, cat eyes, and wrap around frames or shields are some of the 2007 sun time must have.
When buying sunglasses always try to look at the sun directly to feel how much they can protect you, and after having bought a new pair of designer sunglasses for you don't forget that your kids need sunglasses too, maybe not designer ones, but optical ones at least to provide them enough eye protection.

SUNSCREEN BUT NOT WITHOUT SUNGLASSES
You already know that it's dangerous to stay under the sun without sunscreen, but do you know that it is as much dangerous to be for a long time under the sun rays without sunglasses?
It's sometimes not automatic for people to think about sunglasses when they go out during a sunny day as unlike the skin eyes can't get sunburn, but even when you don't feel it, glasses are even more important than sunblock.
Professionals always say that your eyes need protection from ultra-violet rays which are very harmful and can cause damage leading to cataracts and macular degeneration, and it's true! And that sunglasses are the only way to keep your eyes healthy and safe.
So when you are buying sunglasses make sure that your shades are really protecting your eyes and don't trust what is written on fake, replica, or any cheaper sunglasses even though it says UV protection because your chance to benefit a real protection are low.
The cheapest or the counterfeit sunglasses can actually hurt your eyes because they cause your pupils to dilate, letting in more damaging rays, especially when it's about kids and teenagers.
Because sun is even more harmful for kids as 80% of sun damage is done before the age of 18, so make sure your kids are wearing sunglasses with the proper lenses too.
So it's today really stupid to consider sunglasses only as a fashion statement, and if you don't want to follow the trends just buy non designer sunglasses. If you buy non designer sunglasses it's not a reason to buy the cheapest sunglasses but it's a chance to buy optical brand sunglasses which can be as good or better than designer glasses but for a lot cheaper.
The UVR label must al least state a 99% protection or consider them as dangerous, and don't believe that when glasses are dark enough it gives you protection, because it’s not the amount of darkness that count but it’s actually a coating that you can’t see that prevent UV radiation from getting into your eyes.
