When I think about things I’m thankful for, sunglasses are on the list. They’re my stylish weapons for disguising restless nights and occasional makeup mishaps (the verdict is still out on whether or not eyeliner is friend or foe). But when holidays like National Sunglasses Day roll around (it’s June 27, in case you were wondering), I’m reminded that sunglasses aren’t just a vain necessity; they’re essential for eye health.
“It’s always important to protect your vision from UV rays, which can have damaging long and short-term impacts on vision and quality of life,” explains the Vision Council in a press release. The release also emphasizes that almost 90 percent of eye injuries are preventable with proper eye protection. So, in the spirit of National Sunglasses Day, I’ve rounded up some stylish shades to help protect your peepers–and they’re all on sale.
