BIG Business: 5 Ways to Product Test Sunglasses
Testing sunglasses is essential to ensure they’re both stylish and functional. Here are five ways to test their quality and performance:
1. UV Protection Check
Sunglasses should block 100% of UV rays. Look for UV400 labels, and if you’re unsure, take them to an optician or use a UV light testing tool to verify their protection level.
2. Lens Clarity and Quality
High-quality lenses should be distortion-free. To test this, wear the sunglasses and look at a straight line from a distance; move your head side to side to see if the line remains straight. Any distortion could indicate low-quality lenses.
3. Polarization Test
Polarized lenses reduce glare, which is great for outdoor activities. To check polarization, hold the sunglasses in front of a digital screen (like your phone) and rotate them. If the lenses are polarized, they should darken or change color at certain angles.
4. Frame Durability
Flex and twist the frame gently to see if it feels sturdy and doesn’t easily bend or crack. Frames should be both lightweight and resilient, especially for active wearers.
5. Comfort and Fit
Comfort is key. Wear the sunglasses for a while to see if they stay secure and don’t pinch the nose or temples. The fit should be snug but comfortable, allowing movement without slipping.
Testing sunglasses before purchase or use ensures quality, durability, and that they provide the right protection for your eyes.
