Can Wearing Sunglasses Help To Protect Against Coronavirus?

2 min


We are all too aware of the current COVID-19 global pandemic and we also know how important it is to wear a face mask when going out of your home, yet some medical experts are now saying that the Coronavirus can be transmitted through the eyes, as the virus is airborne. Any kind of barrier can be effective against a virus, and wearing good quality sunglasses will offer you a higher level of eye protection than if you did not wear sunglasses.

The Importance Of UV Protection

It isn’t a question of ‘any sunglasses will do’. Indeed, UV protection is essential, therefore any sunglasses that you wear should have UV400 protection, which blocks out 99% of harmful UV rays.

Polarized Lenses

While polarized lenses are not in any way connected to Coronavirus, wearing sunglasses with polarized lenses will cut out all that annoying glare. The thin Polaroid film reflects glare rather than allowing it to pass through the lens. This is very important when driving or operating machinery, when you really do need clear vision.

Always insist on polarized sunglasses. There are popular unbreakable polarized sunglasses that are available from a reputable online supplier. You can find a good supplier through a simple Google search, and they would have a wide range of styles to suit everyone.

Social Distancing

We flout social distancing guidelines at our own peril. You only have to look at the statistics in places where social distancing was not in place to see that staying at least 2 metres apart can stop the spread of the virus. It is also advisable to wear good quality sunglasses when out of the house, even if it isn’t a particularly sunny day, as the sunglasses will provide an effective barrier against virus transmission. Some people mistakenly think that COVID-19 is only dangerous for the elderly, yet a quick glance at the news will tell you a different story. While younger people have a statistically better chance of recovery, that cannot be taken for granted.

Online Solutions

If you are looking for a supplier of top-quality polarized sunglasses, look no further than a Google search, which will take you to the website of a leading designer sunglasses supplier. When looking at sunglasses online, make sure to read the technical data on the lens makeup, which will tell you if they are polarized and have UV protection, plus you should read the company’s returns policy, which will tell you about the type of warranty they offer. Good quality sunglasses do not have to be expensive, in fact, you can buy designer sunglasses online for around $50, and you can’t get any better than that.

One should never be complacent about this global pandemic, and if wearing sunglasses when outside helps to protect you, then you should make sure that you always have a good pair of shades when out and about, or in any location where there are other people.
