These are my 5 favorite models

Spring means the arrival of heat after winter, but also the appearance of allergies to pollen, grasses and many plants and trees. For this, having good sunglasses can be a before and after, especially if they are enveloping. But… what do you have to take into account when buying one of these glasses?

These are the most important points:

• The design: It is necessary that the frame has a curved shape and not a straight one, since this way it will protect us from the front and the sides of our eyes. The function is to create a physical barrier that prevents the wind from entering through the holes in the glasses.
• Side protection: Although the curved frame plays a fundamental role, it is also especially interesting to have wide temples. In this way, we will have better protection on the sides.
• The distance: It is important to keep in mind that this type of wraparound glasses must fit very well to achieve a more airtight effect. As a recommendation, it is interesting that they stay tight to the cheekbones, but without the crystals touching the eyelashes.
• Polarized lenses: During allergy, one of the symptoms is sensitivity to light. The lenses themselves will protect us from this, but if they are also polarized, much better because they can prevent the eyes from becoming more irritated.
• UV protection: Some glasses also have a quality UV filter against ultraviolet radiation, a particularly interesting protection when spending a lot of time in the sun.

Now, taking this into account, What glasses should I buy? There is a lot to choose from with very varied prices, so we have made a selection for different budgets.
