Do you ever wonder where it originated? Is it really good for your eye health? Which sunglasses offer the best protection? Keep reading for some eye-opening facts about sunnies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunglasses Were Invented By Native Americans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/the-origins-of-sunglasses.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77594\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77594\" class=\"wp-image-77594\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A tribe indigenous to Alaska called the Inuit originally invented the first pair of eyewear. It was a form of snow goggles to reduce the reflection of light from the snow. Thus, preventing snow blindness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it was not made of glass or plastic, these innovators created a gadget out of animal bone, wood and leather. Only a single slit for each eye allowed for light to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Term Sunglasses Is Technically Incorrect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77599\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-80.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77599\" class=\"wp-image-77599\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once upon a time, these accessories were made from glass but today high-performance plastic lenses add various improvements, including lighter weight and shatterproof lenses. But calling it \u2018sunplastics\u2019 just doesn\u2019t have the same ring to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glasses Were A Part Of Court Attire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-origins-of-sunglasses-in-China-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77597\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-origins-of-sunglasses-in-China-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77597\" class=\"wp-image-77597\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Inuit, eyewear was found in ancient China. However, it was not to assist with vision or even style. In the 12th century, Chinese Judges used a piece of smoked quartz in hopes to disguise their expressions to the defendants on trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Most Sunglasses Owned In The World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Elton-John-Sunglasses.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77598\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Elton-John-Sunglasses.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77598\" class=\"wp-image-77598\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Elton John is known for wearing eccentric designer sunglasses wherever he goes. In fact, there\u2019s even an award-winning play production called \u2018Elton John\u2019s Glasses\u2019. The English singer-songwriter claims to own over 250,000 pairs of sunglasses! Spectacular indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They&#8217;re Important For Eye Health &amp; Preventing Wrinkles!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/cat-eye-glasses.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77607\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/cat-eye-glasses.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77607\" class=\"wp-image-77607\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important benefit of wearing glasses is that they protect you from eye strain caused by UV (ultra-violet) rays. This UV light can harm your cornea, lens, retina and even your eyelids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunglasses also prevent you from constantly squinting which could cause \u2018dynamic wrinkles\u2019. Eventually, it produces permanent creases and lines &#8211; even when you\u2019re not squinting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALSO SEE: <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/top-5-reasons-to-wear-sunglasses-in-winter\/\">Top 5 Reasons To Wear Sunglasses In Winter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Most Protective Eyewear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/designer-accessories.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77606\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/designer-accessories.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77606\" class=\"wp-image-77606\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for sunnies that truly protects your eyes, choose a polarised pair with high UV protection. Bigger eyewear also offer more coverage for the skin around your eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you already have macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, then amber and brown lenses may be more useful. These lenses enhance contrast, which can help you see better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Perfect Pair For You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pair-of-designer-sunglasses.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"77602\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pair-of-designer-sunglasses.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=77602\" class=\"wp-image-77602\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, sunglass trends are fun, but it\u2019s important to invest in a pair of sunglasses that fit your face correctly.
