I need dark sunglasses - no more squinting for me!

Nyria · Jun 21st, 2008, 10:04 PM

I am really senstive to sunlight and I am always squinting - even with sunnies on.

Anyone know of any good dark shades or shades that don't let much light in?
THANKS =)

My Chanel sunglasses are the absolute best at keeping the sun out. They were worth every penny!

I believe any eyeglass boutique can custom tint a pair of sunglasses. So if you want them DARK, you just have to say so.

The tint of the lens will not be as effective as keeping the sun out as the type of sunglass lens. If you purchase a pair (or already have a pair) of sunglasses that you love, take them to an optical store and have them put POLARIZED lenses in. These lenses filter out the sun rays and you will never squint again

i think the style helps too - if you get oversized or shield sunglasses, i've found they let in less sunlight in from around the sides/top, which helps a lot
