UV Protection

Craftsmanship
Second thing to look for when buying sunglasses is the material used to build it. A good gauge to follow is weight of the sunglasses.

Any sort of tint is better than nothing at all, so be sure that you offer your eyes the best overall protection while still maintaining your own sense of style.
The color of the tint does affect the brightness and glare in what you see. From yellow to brown, darker tints tend to soften the colors. Be sure to try them on and choose one that you are most comfortable with. Yellow tints tend to brighten the overall spectrum but distort the color. Meanwhile, grey tints do lessen the color and reduce glare.
