Another popular misconception regarding sunglasses is that you should have UV coating put on your lenses for extra protection. Again, this is absolutely false. If your glasses already have UV protection, they do not need to have added protection put on them.

Another common misconception with regards to sunglasses is that lenses with darker tints are more protective than lenses with a lighter tint. This too is false. The tint of the lens has nothing to do with the UV protection of the glasses. A clear lens with no tint and 100% UV protection is better for your eyes than dark, heavily tinted sunglasses without UV protection. In fact, dark lenses without adequate UV protection are actually worse for your eyes than not wearing glasses at all, because the dark tint causes your pupils to become dilated, thus exposing your eyes to more harmful UV light.

A common misconception regarding sunglasses is that sunglasses with 100% UV protection are expensive. This is absolutely false. You do not have to pay a premium for proper UV protection.

Modern eyeglass frames can be found in rimless and semi-rimless varieties (where the lens is held in place with a screw or a wire) as well as traditional full-frames. If the rimless and semi-rimless varieties are combined with a lens anti-reflective coating it can almost appear as if you are not wearing glasses at all. These types of eyeglasses (rimless and semi-rimless) are lightweight, durable and have a modern sophisticated look.
Another development in eyeglass frame technology is the use of titanium. Titanium is extremely lightweight and non-corrosive, serving to be both durable and fashionable as well as a good choice for those with an allergy to nickel.
Other popular metal frame materials include stainless steel and aluminum, which are again very durable and modern looking. Modern eyeglasses are increasingly using plastic to give a stylish look to frames and are available in a variety of styles – from classic frame styles to bold ones with layers of colored plastics that are laminated together for standout effects.
