Designer sunglasses- Should you buy them or not?

So the sun is out and you are up and about. It is time to go out. OK, leaving the jingle part aside, it’s quite obvious that you should know about the serious damage inevitable upon your eyes while venturing out in the scorching sun. There’s more than half a chance that the blistering sunrays searing down upon you fry half of your body and leave you feeling like roasted chicken. Also if you’re ‘lucky’ enough to live in a snow-bound area, the multiple glares from the reflection of sunlight may hurt your eyes into oblivion. In such cases, eye protection is absolutely vital ‘coz your lovely big eyes are the most sensitive and delicate part of your body.

The universal solution that you look towards? Of course- sunglasses. Sunglasses to protect your eyes. Sunglasses to look stylish. Now the question arises, should you be going for the expensive designer sunglasses or the relatively cheaper prescription/correction sunglasses?

Well, folks the answer is clear, you gotta have the big bucks for the designer ones. But, on the other hand- which is a better return for your money? Yep, you guessed it right- designer sunglasses. Since most of the bigwig brands like Ray-Ban, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci Sunglasses and the likes are involved in the luxury sunglass manufacturing, you can be sure that you are buying the highest quality product. Since these fashion houses are considered the epitome of style, they always employ the latest technologies to turn out only the best stuff in the market.

You may ask why don’t I just buy cheap prescription shades and show off to my friends? Yes, you can do that fellas, but, remember, you would be compromising on the style quotient. Also, there is no guarantee when your ‘cheap’ sunglasses may wear out. There have been incidents where people have trashed their prescription shades citing poor quality and low satisfaction. So, what may seem cheap to you can turn out to be quite expensive with increasing ophthalmic expenses, visits to doctor etc.

For self-confessed fashionistas, sporting the latest Designer Sunglasses helps in creating a stylish image in the eyes of public and boosts the self- confidence level to a high. Then there’s always the brand value which earns you the envy and admiration of many. Brand matters, doesn’t it?
