Why are sunglasses so important?
For anglers, the use of polarized sunglasses primarily serves to eliminate glare and better spot fish or carefully study the water. Besides this, sunglasses also have the task of reducing glare: intense sunlight can cause eye strain and decreased visibility. Sunglasses reduce the intensity of light, improving visual comfort and allowing you to see more clearly. Furthermore, they offer protection from atmospheric agents such as dust, wind, sand, and other external agents like hook tips or lures that can irritate and damage the ocular surface.
Many people think that the use of sunglasses is tied to the presence of a lot of light, completely ignoring their usefulness even on cloudy days: even when the sky is overcast, UV rays can penetrate clouds and damage the eyes. It will be enough to use a lens of a color suitable for the lesser presence of light, avoiding glasses with mirrored lenses (perfect instead for dampening the light reflected on the water) and choosing colors like yellow or green.
What to look for in a pair of sunglasses?
There are countless glasses on the market, but to make the right choice of pair, you need to focus on some fundamental characteristics. The first is to choose high-quality lenses that guarantee clear vision and protect the eyes. The second is certainly the color of the lenses which, influencing the perception of colors and the amount of light that filters, it is necessary to choose in such a way that it adapts to the light conditions in which you find yourself most often. Last but not least, is the frame which must be comfortable to wear and adhere well to the face to guarantee optimal protection.

It is important to remember that UV protection is essential all year round, not just in summer. Even in winter or on cloudy days, UV rays can damage the eyes.
Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory but an investment in your visual health. Choose high-quality glasses with excellent UV protection and wear them regularly to protect your eyes from damage caused by the sun's rays and to make the most of your fishing trips.
