Save your eyes from the sun with Solar Shields sunglasses

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

Disclosure: I received product samples; opinions shared are mine.

As I age, my eyes become more sensitive to sunlight. It’s rather ironic, since my eyes actually need more artificial light in order to see a book page or computer screen. Sunlight, however, seems to irritate my eyes. Sunglasses have become an essential part of my accessory wardrobe in recent years! Sometimes sunglasses still don’t shield my eyes enough; the light peeps in and around my frames. That’s why Solar Shields was such a hit with me. These are designed to fit over prescription glasses, if needed, but can also be worn alone.

I was surprised by the variety and affordability of options on the Solar Shields site.  It was tough, but I finally narrowed down my selections to the Wrap Around Volcano for my husband, and the Condor Tortoise for me.  The Condor is designed to help prevent dry eyes, which tends to plague me in the car (where I normally wear sunglasses). When the air conditioning blows toward my face, then the sunlight bears down on my eyes, it makes me want to shut those peepers tight!  Condor helped me to appreciate the gift of relief that a pair of good sunglasses can offer.

There are several features I like about Solar Shields. First, they aren’t flat on the surface.  It may be difficult to tell in the photo above (look at the one below instead), but the frames are actually curved. This means that my eyelashes don’t brush up against the lenses.  It’s a much more natural shape for sunglasses to fit over a face. Next, the frames have a thin black cushion around the outsides.  I’m guessing this is there to help secure the over-the-glasses fit, but it seems to help block the sunlight from creeping in through the tops of the lenses.  Nice!  Finally, the frames have a sturdy build right at the bend of the earpiece.  Where other sunnies have a thin handle, these are thick and bold. That also helps to prevent light from seeping through the sides of the lenses.  Overall, there’s excellent coverage from all angles!

It took me a couple of days to get used to having the black cushion thing in my peripheral vision, but now I’ve grown to appreciate (and almost need!) it.  The frames are clearly of excellent quality; they’re thick and heavier than other brands I’ve owned.  I’m really pleased with my Solar Shields and look forward to better eyesight in the future, thanks to the Solar Shields protection!
