People wear sunglasses for either comfort or style. The most important reason why people should wear sunglasses is for protection against UV radiation, a component of solar energy that can be harmful to people exposed over the long term. Even short term exposure can be harmful because the effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The common risks for the eyes are cataracts, degeneration of the retina and sunburn. Burn and irritation can very quickly affect the skin of the eye area because these are exceptionally delicate.

You might have fallen in love with the styles of Giorgio Armani sunglasses but remember to take note of qualities that you should look for in designer sunglasses as well as those you pick up from the supermarket. Factors to consider are the frame, the material and the different lens options. Large frames will give better protection not only to the eyes but to the sensitive area around the eyes. Be sure to try it on for the best fit. It should not pinch or touch the eyelashes. A well fitting frame should rest comfortable on the bridge of the nose.
