The benefits of wrap-around sunglasses

Enhanced UV protection
/wp:headingFull wrap, sports style sunglasses keep out the elements like sand, dust, grit and wind from getting into your eyes - potentially painful and dangerous. Importantly, unlike "normal" leisure style sunglasses they also stop glare and UVR from coming in over the top and side of the frame. More and more consumers are now wearing sports/wrap-around style sunglasses for every-day wear as they provide enhanced protection from harmful UVR. In July 2022 the UK Met Office issued a public guidance notice recommending consumers adopt sports style sunglasses for every-day wear to provide greater UV protection.

/wp:headingOne in five people in the UK suffer from hay fever, with the peak period (in the UK) being between March and September. There’s no cure but symptoms can be alleviated with antihistamine drops, tablets and sprays. Marc Donovan, chief pharmacist at Boots, has a top tip for hay fever sufferers, Marc said, “Wrap-around sunglasses can be a game-changer for hay fever sufferers. When you’re in and out of the garden, wear wraparound sunglasses to help prevent pollen from getting in and irritating your eyes”.
So, in a nutshell - the more coverage a sunglass provides the better it will protect your eyes.
