Based on the vast range of sunglasses that she has accessorised her memorable looks with over the years, Matheba is a major fan of luxury sunglasses.
Are luxury sunglasses worth it?
The short answer: According to a number of different websites? Yes.
The answer: How Stuff Works explains that a good pair of sunglasses should do four things for you – protection from ultraviolet rays in sunlight, provide protection from intense light, provide protection from glare and eliminate specific frequencies of light.
“When you buy a pair of cheap sunglasses, you often give up all of these benefits and can even make things worse,” adds the website.
Like cellphone screens, some scratch-resistant and UV blocking glasses were developed using welding technology discovered and patented by America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa).
Luxury sunglasses range in price, however, so if spending R10,000 may not be the ideal price point for you, there are a number of more affordable options. You’ve just got to know where to look.
