Beat the Heat with Solar Shield Polarized Sunglasses

There are many high-quality fit-over sunglasses available today. Polarized fit-over sunglasses comfortably slip over your prescription glasses and meet strict UV-blocking requirements. Some of the well-known brands like Cocoons, Vistana and Solar Shield, are produced in a wide variety of models and styles.

It can be confusing to try and figure out whether to purchase clip-on, flip-off or fit-over sunglasses. Although all the aforementioned sunwear can be easily worn over prescription lenses, each has their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

These wear over sunglasses meet the highest UV blocking requirements and the lenses actually block 100% of UVA & UVB light. The ultraviolet radiation of the sun contributes to several eye conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration etc.

These sunglasses are available in patented designs and block 48% more light than the conventional sunwear. They are especially helpful for post-cataract patients and people who are sensitive to light.
The lenses of these sunglasses also offer good polarization. When light bounces off an object, glare is created. Polarizing films applied to lenses help reduce the glare. While prescription lenses are designed to see things clearly, clarity becomes moot when glare hits your eyes, and your eyes need protection from glare.

Clip-on and fit-over lenses compete in the market because both are easy to slip over corrective lenses; for many people the choice of either a clip-on or a fit-over is made based on comfort and the shape of their face.

Fit-over style sunglasses may be perfect for you if you have a prominent nose, especially if you plan to wear your prescription glasses underneath. However, clip-on lenses may be better for you if the bridge of your nose is larger.

Besides the UV coating, other colored films are applied to sunglass lenses in order to help absorb various wavelengths of light. While some tints reduce brightness, others reduce glare. Some cause color distortion while others provide good contrast between objects.

Most of these solar-shielding sunglasses are scratch resistant, as thin film layer is applied to the lenses. Sunglasses with plastic lenses typically scratch more easily compared to those with glass lenses.

Since the frames of these sunglasses are made from plastic, Crystal Nylon, TR-90 plastics, etc, they are lightweight and comfortable. They have shatterproof polycarbonate lenses that will protect your eyes from any sort of mechanical injury caused as result of flying debris.

In order to meet the ever changing demands of customers, producers of sunglasses have created different types of solar-shielding polarized sunglasses in order to fit various lifestyle requirements.

Fitovers Eyewear® is a leading brand of optical quality fit over sunglasses, and it is particularly designed for those customers that wear prescription lenses. It easily clip on over your regular glasses and one of the best wrap around sunglasses as compared to flip up, slip over and clip on sunglasses.
