Sunglasses indeed are fashionable, but their importance should be underscored. They (quality sunglasses) protect the eyes from the harmful rays of the sun, thus preventing sun damage. When shopping for sunglasses, it is imperative to look for sunglasses that block 99 - 100% of all UV light. Source: American Academy of Ophthalmology. How to tell if the glasses are made properly.
