(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Spring fever is in full swing and summer is just around corner, so satisfy your urge to splurge and get ready to celebrate a season full of fun, flirty colors with a pair of stylish sunglasses, perfect for making a fashion statement and protecting your eyes! Stores likes Solstice Sunglass Boutique, one of the nation’s preeminent upscale luxury sunwear specialty stores, offer the latest sunglass styles and colors this season has to offer with a wide selection of UV lenses ideal for shielding your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.

Too many consumers don’t realize that just like our skin, our eyes are vulnerable to UV rays and over exposure can result in health effects that vary from corneal growths to skin cancer around the eyes. Over a lifetime, sun damage accumulates so failing to protect our eyes from the sun’s rays can have countless effects on people of all ages. While the sun does not discriminate, there are a select group of people that need be extra wary of sun damage to the eyes including; senior citizens, children, people with light iris colors, contact lens wearers, outdoor enthusiasts, patients of eye procedures, those on certain medications and people who reside at higher altitudes.

“As people become more aware about the harmful effects of the sun’s increasing strength, UV protected lenses like polarized lenses have become increasingly popular. Polarized lenses are the only lenses that can stop all harmful horizontal sun rays and multi-angular glare, as a result reducing eyestrain and fatigue and improving visual acuity,” explains Eden Wexler, for Safilo USA and Solstice Sunglass Boutique.

Sunglasses are not only an important fashion accessory, but an essential during the spring and summer months as they prevent numerous eye-damaging diseases, including high intensity UV radiation burns to your cornea and retina. When shopping for sunglasses, choose stores like Solstice Sunglass Boutique that offer 100% UV-A and UV-B protection and follow these sleek trends for selecting the latest in eyewear fashion this season:

Geometrics – Traditional shapes and designs get a decorative makeover showing a new twist on old classics. Angular, sleek and bold – this architecturally inspired trend has a vintage flair. Experiment with favorites such as Jackie Os and aviators for a modern spin that compliments the classics. Designers revitalizing popular looks from the past include Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade and Balenciaga.

All About Me –This standout trend makes sure all eyes are on the wearer. Oversized and embellished, these flashy shades will make a bold statement, leaving people wanting more. Styles by Dior, Gucci and Armani Exchange give off this sparkling look complete with a generous garnish of gems and flashy crystals.

Bohemian Chic – Embrace your free-spirit and individuality with intricate patterns and a rich ecstasy of colors that go beyond basic bohemian. It’s time to create your own path and experiment with woven patterns and wood details that break all the rules and spark spontaneity. Designers encouraging you to explore your individual style include Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade and Giorgio Armani.

Color Theory –This season, splash those basic black frames with the colors of the rainbow – radiant reds, brilliant blues and vibrant violets. A touch of bright and bold or a sprinkle of soft and subtle signifies a flirty, playful side. Styles by designers Juicy Couture, Dior, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Carrera help brighten up your face and your style.

The Boys Are Back – Chic shades are no longer restricted to just the fairer sex as sunglass styles have evolved to suit the metro-sexual man. With clean, simple styles in a number of dark hues, fashion-forward men everywhere are donning these glasses for a look that is sleek and sophisticated. With styles from Dior Homme, Giorgio Armani, Diesel, and Gucci, the boys are back and are here to stay!

Looking good and feeling great are important factors when selecting the perfect pair of shades this summer, but keep in mind that sun related damage is a critical issue that needs to be taken seriously. Select sunglasses that embrace the latest trends, moods and color combinations while enhancing contrast, reducing glare and improving eyesight.
