If you're a runner, you've probably thought a lot about what kind of shoes you wear and whether your clothes wick away moisture. However, if you haven't given serious thought to what sunglasses you should wear when running outside, you should reconsider. High-quality sunglasses are something you can't miss, and here's why.
 
1. They protect your long-term vision
 
Want to protect your eyes for as long as possible? Part of the equation is being smart about your sunscreen efforts. As a runner, you will run many miles over the years. This can mean a lot of damaging time in the sun.

Constant sun exposure can lead to problems like cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Since these conditions can damage your vision and even lead to blindness, you should take them seriously.

Reduce the chance of these problems by blocking UV rays with sunglasses. Your best bet is to choose high-quality sunglasses that block all UV rays.
 
2. They may help you avoid cancer
 
High-end sunglasses do a great job of providing eye protection. They have suitable lenses and are large enough to protect the entire eye area.

If you're concerned about skin cancer near your eyes, choose wraparound sunglasses for extended coverage. According to the American Cancer Society, you should look for products that absorb at least 99 percent of both UVB and UVA.
 
3. They have more features that you need to enhance by playing
 
While it might seem like a good deal to buy cheap sunglasses for your run, you get what you pay for. Low-end sunglasses often don't offer features like 100% protection against UVB, UVC, or UVA rays.

They also typically don't have scratch-resistant coatings, or anti-fog, polarized, or photochromic lens technology.
 
4. They will protect your eyes from the weather
 
Sunglasses can be your best friend when you're running in winter, rain, or wind. They protect your eyes from the elements and make you're run more enjoyable.

Quality sunglasses that offer features like anti-fog technology will increase the usefulness of your glasses while running.
 
5. They can give you a better understanding of your surroundings
 
When you're running in an area rich in natural beauty, walking and looking at the scenery can make your run seem shorter and less tiring. But if you've ever run across lakes, rivers, or even snow-capped mountains, you'll sometimes be overwhelmed by the glare.

High-end sunglasses with polarized lenses can reduce glare and give you a clearer view of the surrounding nature. Seeing those beautiful views can help you forget how much your legs are starting to burn during your long run.
 
6. They can help you prevent some wrinkles
 
The sun is a big cause of wrinkles. But not all sunglasses are created equal when it comes to blocking harmful rays from the sun.

Ultraviolet rays (UV) are the main culprit behind aging skin and causing wrinkles. Some sunglasses do a terrible job of blocking UV rays.

If you want to prevent wrinkles, look for polarized sunglasses. Spending more on a pair of sunglasses now can help you save money on expensive wrinkle treatments later.
 
7. You'll look and feel cooler
 
You don't always feel cool when you're a runner. If you go all out, you'll sweat nonstop during your run and possibly throw up at the finish line on race day. You'll get used to wearing a neon sweatshirt you don't normally wear, which makes it easier to be seen by drivers passing by.

But you also have a chance to increase your cool factor. Feel cool every time you put on your beloved new running shoes or fancy sunglasses. You'll look good when a photographer takes your photo midway through a game day.

The above briefly describes a few reasons to wear high-quality sunglasses while running. If you want to order sunglasses, please contact us.
