Choosing Designer Rx Sunglasses That Still Protect you
The key to buying rx sunglasses in today’s world should consist of two major considerations: health issues and fashion. Purchasing new sunglasses for reasons that don’t pacify both of those issues is like throwing money out of the window, since you will not use those sunglasses as much as you should, or would if they met both criteria. Trust me on this. In today’s world, even celebrities, newscasters, and sportscasters choose sunglasses based on both of these criteria.
From another health perspective, it has been known for many years that consistent exposure to the sun’s UV rays can be harmful. Your sunglasses should protect you from those UV rays via the polarized lenses, as well as a more recently discovered danger known as HEVL or High Energy Visible Light.
Both of these issues are particularly important for people who depend on visual clarity to do what they must do or need to do, perhaps as part of their job or as a part of a recreational activity. Think about the airline pilot whose eyes may be in sunlight for the entire duration of a flight. Think about the truck driver who may be driving west late in the day, and looking into the sun for the majority of his travels. Think about the recreational skier or snow-boarder who is addition to the normal hazards of sunlight is also faced with the additional hazard of “snow blindness” where the bright sunlight is reflected off the white snow that he is surrounded by. All of these types of people know how important it is to adequately protect your eyes, and this importance is not decreased even if you do not spend as much time in sunlight as they do.
Studies have also shown that when you are using your eyes constantly as part of a concentrated effort to what you are doing, such as when driving in heavy traffic or skiing, it takes a tremendous amount of energy from your body to keep processing the massive amounts of information that your eyes are sending to your brain. For this reason also, good rx sunglasses will allow your eyes to do their job better without using more energy that you need to.
From a fashion standpoint, choosing sunglasses that are “good for you” does not mean that the sunglasses need to look like the glasses equivalent of orthopedic shoes, not at all. Rx sunglasses that meet the protection and health criteria above are readily available from the major fashion sunglasses and designer sunglasses manufacturers, including designers such as Oakley, Serengetti, RayBan, Maui Jim, Wiley, Bolle and more. In fact, some of the higher-end choices you have in these designer sunglasses also have additional features such as built-in Bluetooth so that you can use your MP3 player or your cell phone without taking off your sunglasses.
Finally, make sure the sunglasses are comfortable. With all the choices you have available to you, comfort needs to be a major part of the equation, and it not an area where you need to scrimp or sacrifice.

Sometimes I worry that the better I get at art, I get worse at communicating with words. Can verbal & visual clarity live in the same brain?

how you greet them (expression of politeness varies from country to country specially those who gives a lot a importance in ranks, e.g. one is older or holds a certain position / special role), how you maintain the distance (some find it disrespectful / impolite if you are too near when talking) or if you touch them in the shoulder/ arm etc, eye contact, art of handshake (both hands, one hand), type of joke / small talk approach … you're always on the safe side if you know a bit of about the cultural background of a person. This helps in understanding why they behave or react in a way that might be "normal" for our culture but offensive to them and vice versa.
