Choosing sunglasses as a mom

4

As a mom, it can sometimes feel like you don’t get enough time for yourself, but if you’re in the market for a new pair of shades, it’s important you make this a priority. Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion accessory, they’re essential for maintaining your eye health. But with so many options out there, it can be hard to know which sunglasses will suit your lifestyle the best. Here are some things you really need to consider before you start shopping:

Buy high quality

It can be tempting to grab the cheapest pair of sunglasses you see, especially if you’re short on money. While it makes sense to spend more money on your kids, a high-quality pair of sunglasses will last a long time and actually save you money in the long run. What’s more, by paying a bit extra, you can be sure that the lenses are protecting you from UVA and UVB rays. In this online selection of Oakley sunglasses, you’ll find all kinds of styles that block out harmful rays and keep your eyes safe.

Consider prescription

If you wear prescription glasses, it’s a good idea to get your sunglasses with this same prescription. When you’re rushing around after your kids you don’t always have time to keep switching your glasses, so having a 2-in-1 solution can be a dream come true. What’s more, you want to be as safe as possible when driving around. Never compromise between being able to read road signs clearly and squinting against the sun. Proper sunglasses are not just an investment in your health, but your kids’ safety too.

Be practical

The life of a mom is rarely a glamorous one, so while you might love the look of oversized shades or have been eyeing the frames of a popular celebrity, these might not be the sunglasses for you. Try to choose sunglasses that are robust and won’t break at the first sight of trouble. Whether you’re throwing them into your bag or leaving them where your kids can get their sticky fingers on them, your sunglasses need to be able to survive a bit of rough handling. It might also be good to choose wraparound sunglasses, as these block sunlight from all angles, allowing you to carry on with your daily life no matter how bright it is.

Don’t forget your kids

If your sunglasses need replacing, chances are your kids could do with an upgrade as well. Sometimes it can be hard to get your little ones to wear their sunglasses, especially if they’re active and always running around. Having a family trip to the opticians and getting everyone a new pair of shades could be just the thing to encourage them to adopt healthier habits. As the weather is warming up, you’ll all have more cause to wear sunglasses than before. Try to let your kids have their say when picking their new frames, as this might make them more likely to wear them.
