Why Spring for Name Brand Sunglasses? by Dr. Joseph Cohen | Woodland Hills Eye Doctor

Buying cheap sunglasses when you don’t have a prescription seems like a pretty sweet deal. You have options and can have multiple pairs at once. In places where protecting your eyes from the sun is a matter of necessity, having something is better than nothing.

Why shell out a couple hundred bucks for one pair when you could just as easily get eight or ten pairs and have a variety? Well, how long do those last? For ten dollars, what is the drive for the manufacturers to make a super sturdy pair of sunglasses? If screws are falling out, lenses loosening, or the materials are stretching then you will become a repeat customer. That’s not to say that you can’t buy a cheap pair that never seems to lose its structural integrity, it’s just not as likely.

Sunglasses are essential for eye health whether you live in a location where it feels that way or not. Assuming you live in an area where the sun is constantly beating down, they are vital. In truth, sunglasses should be treated as a necessity and less as a fashion accessory, though it’s really fun when they are both.
