Sunglasses or sun glasses are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright Sun light and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses exist which feature lenses that are colored, polarized or darkened. In the early 20th century they were also known as sun cheaters (cheaters being an American slang term for glasses). Many people find direct sunlight too bright for comfort. During outdoor activities, the human eye can receive more light than usual. Healthcare professionals recommend eye protection whenever outside to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation and blue light, which can cause several serious eye problems. Sunglasses have long been associated with celebrities and film actors primarily from a desire to mask their identity. Since the 1940s sunglasses have been popular as a fashion accessory, especially on the beach. HistoryFrom Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Sunglasses" What type of sunglasses look good on round faces? Q. I have a round-shaped face and it's soo hard to find sunglasses that look good! I tried on a pair of the Blues Brothers type and they actually looked good, but their hard to find and these had things on the side that I didnt like! So, I was wondering what the best kind were and where to get them from? Also, should I buy ones like the Blues Brothers? Asked by Krisitn - Fri Aug 14 19:02:42 2009 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. Frames should make the face appear longer and thinner. In general, look for frames equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Minimize the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow. styles. Higher temples will create a longer profile. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer. Frame suggestions : Wider frames with angular / rectangular styles, Just about every store has a sunglasses rack go and check them out and try on a few pair following the guidelines i told you above and you should find the perfect pair. I think the blue's brothers type would be cute go for it! Answered by Sexxiebebe85 - Fri Aug 14 19:15:00 2009 What kind of sunglasses will look good for my face? Q. My face is kind of round and I have put on a little weight recently and you can really see it in my face. There are so many kinds of sunglasses out there. I know the big ones are more popular these days but they don't look right on me. Any suggestions? Asked by KatieBug - Thu Jun 4 17:28:23 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. A more angular frame will offset the roundness of your face. Also go for a frame that is a little sleeker and wont add bulk to your face. Answered by Tim's DD - Thu Jun 4 17:59:48 2009 What are some good brands for quality polarized sunglasses?
Q. I know that Oakley, Ray-Ban, and Maui Jim are probably the best brands fro sunglasses. But, what are some other brands that make quality polarized sunglasses for a cheaper price? Does anyone have any experience with the quality of Fossil lenses? Asked by lalalala - Fri May 22 20:37:04 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I've not had experience with Fossil sunglasses but their other products are top notch. As far as other brands go, all the names you mention are good (Oakley, Bolle, etc.) If you're after polarized lenses and you're not looking for a big brand you could pick up a pair for under $20.
