While sunglasses are often thought to be an accessory, they play an important role in protecting your eyes from the sun, especially during the summer in Arizona when the sun beats down for more than 15 hours.

When choosing sunglasses, be sure to select a pair that features ultraviolet (UV) protection that block 99 or 100 percent of UV rays.

Ask about impact resistance. Use a different pair when participating in outdoor activities that protect your eyes from glare such as water skiing.
