Sunglasses don't last forever!
Even premium pairs will wear down eventually, and the damage isn't always obvious until your eyes start becoming affected.
Here are a few things to look for that might indicate it’s time for a new pair of sunglasses!
Even small scratches on your lenses can scatter light and cause glare, which can require your eyes to to work harder in order to see.
Anti-reflective, mirror, and UV coatings will eventually break down over time, especially with excessive heat exposure. Cracking or webbed patterns can be seen on the lens surface which indicates that the coating is deteriorating!
The UV protection of your lenses will degrade over time with sun, sweat, and saltwater! If you've worn the same pair of sunglasses regularly for 2+ years, especially in direct sunlight or by the beach, it may be a time for a new pair!
Accidents happen! Whether it’s sitting on your sunglasses by accident, or just regular wear and tear, your frames can become stretched, loosened or warped over time! Will these issues can sometimes be repaired, it’s worth looking into getting a new pair to ensure that your glasses fit properly in order to support your vision and protect your eyes!
If you are experiencing headaches, squinting in normal sun, or fatigue after wearing your sunglasses these may all be indicators that it’s time for a new pair of sunglasses. A good pair of sunglasses should feel effortless to wear!
If the glare off water or roads is suddenly bothering you again, the polarized film may be wearing out. This is a key sign that its time for a new pair of sunglasses!
We recommend to replace everyday sunglasses at least once every 2 years, or sooner if you're often outdoors or spend a lot of time near the water. Your eyes are always worth the upgrade!
