How to Test if Sunglasses Have UV Protection

Ensuring Your Sunglasses Safeguard Your Eyes

UV protection is crucial for sunglasses, as it shields your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause long-term eye damage. Knowing how to test if your sunglasses provide this essential protection is key to ensuring your eye health.

Importance of UV Protection

UV rays can lead to conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration over time. Sunglasses that block 99 to 100% of UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection.

Methods to Test UV Protection

Professional Testing

• Optometrist Testing: An optometrist can test your sunglasses using a spectrophotometer, which measures the amount of UV radiation the lenses block.
• Optical Stores: Many stores have UV meters available and can test your sunglasses for free.

Home Testing Method

• UV Flashlight Test: Although not as accurate as professional testing, you can use a UV flashlight and a currency note. Shine the UV light on a currency note and observe if the fluorescent elements glow. Then place your sunglasses between the flashlight and the note. If the fluorescent areas are dimmed significantly or don’t glow, your sunglasses likely have UV protection.
