Who makes the best sunglasses is an entirely personal opinion. Some people like to have a pair of sunglasses with a designer label that is flashy and obvious while other people prefer and understated designer.

Some people do not care about the designer, so long as they are sturdy, practical and shield their eyes. Some people prefer them to be huge to cover the whole eye area, whereas others prefer smaller glasses that do not take over the whole face. Some people will simply choose the cheapest pair of sunglasses they can find because they are the kind of delicate object that are easily lost or broken.

Whatever style or design or sunglasses you opt for, there are some points you should consider. The first is how much protection the glasses offer from ultraviolet light. Sunglasses are usually thought of as a stylish fashion accessory but there is much more to them and they can actually have a huge effect on your vision if you choose the right pair.

UV rays are particularly hazardous to our eyesight; they cause cataracts, macular degeneration and host of other ailments including skin cancer. If you buy a pair of sunglasses which protect against UV rays, it could really benefit your eyesight in the future.

Polarized lenses are now much more widely available and provide crisper vision, particularly when it is extremely bright or sunny. Contrary to what you might think, light doesn’t travel in a straight line, it bounces back and forth from one reflective surface to another. This causes glare, especially from glass, water, shiny green grass and even white sand from such things as sand traps and beaches. Polarized lenses permit only vertical light rays to pass through them, not horizontal, and thus they reduce glare.

Think about durability when you choose the style and get a friend to help you decide which suit the shape of your face the best. When choosing the colour of the lenses, be aware that different coloured lenses make everything around you look different. Grey lenses tend to be the most neutral but brown lenses can make everything appear warmer.

Serengeti ,revo,or maui jim makes the best sunglasses by far and have the best lenses. Ray ban suck. They give me a headache after looking through them for more than 1 hour. I owned a pair several years ago and hated them then and then about 6 months ago I bought another pair thinking I would give them a second chance,I also really liked the frames too,but after about a month I couldn't stand wearing them anymore.so stay away from ray-ban, buy maui jim,serengeti,or revo,yeah they cost more but trust me your eyes are worth it!

I have tried Serengeti, Maui Jim and Costa Del Mar. I loved all of them, but the Costa Del Mar with the 580 lenses are truly unbelievable. The clarity and color through them is truly something that has to be seen to be believed. Costa's all the way, you won't be disappointed!

I have a bias because I am a big fan of 'Police'. I think they are elegant, calssy and provide value for your money. So in my opinion, those are the best.

Honestly if you pay $300-$400 for a pair of Gucci's or D&G and think you're getting ultimate protection because of the name brand you're wrong. Maui Jim's are excellant and the price is reasonable.

There are dozens of good and comfortable sunglasses brands in the market. Go to Majorbrands, an online shopping store or any large optical store and try on different styles and colors of branded sunglasses.

They all give pretty well the same protection , it's just a question of the color you prefer and how you like the effect when you look through them.

Serengetti , Guess, Rayban , Park Avenue, Provogue, Oakley to name a few, are the good brands.

I personally think that coach makes excellent sunglasses. I have one pair, and not only does it look fashionable, but it's also great when the sun's out.

I fully trust on "Ray-Ban" brand. They make high quality sunglasses which are durable and give maximum protection to your eyes and they are stylish as well. But they are pretty expensive.

Since Luxottica bought out the Rayban company, .Luxottica has ruined the Rayban product line. The quality is no longer. I recently purchase a pair of RB 2054. The backside AR coating is no longer effective. When the sun hit s the lens, the glare is painful. Also, the the cases are no longer sewed to together, just tape and the inside falls out. Right now I think the maui jim sunglasses give the best value for money. Raybans are way over priced and may cause eye damage if you wear them the same way you wore the old ones. Thanks for giving me a place to voice my experience.

I would have thought Zeiss sunglasses were about as good as anything money could buy and the best of those are the ones that were made in Germany with optically ground (glass) lenses rather than the cheapo one of the same name now made in Italy.
