Sunglasses are of many types but you should always check for UV protection because our eyes are very sensitive and UV rays are dangerous for our eyes. Every sunglass is not a UV protector so before buying ensure that it has UV protection.

Some contact lenses also offer UV protection, but these should be worn in combination with sunglasses to maximize protection.
