Not all dark glasses are sunshades.
What makes glasses sunshades?
UV protection.
The primary purpose of sunglasses is to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays.
If dark lenses are not made with a UV protective coating, they can be more harmful than clear glasses. The dark eyeglass causes your pupils to open wider, allowing more UV rays to enter your eye than if you were not wearing any glasses at all.
Before you buy your next sunglasses, confirm they have 100% UV protection.
