Ok, so maybe we didn't have the Indian summer we were all hoping for in the UK this year. But as we're all part of the international jet-set, we sure that over the next few months you'll be jetting somewhere hot and sunny.

We all want to look really good, but design might not be enough for you if you're looking for protection from those harmful UV rays. Many cheap sunglasses on the market today might not be the right answer when it comes to UV protection. Long-term exposure speeds up ageing of your eyes, and can even lead to cataracts.

So to stay healthy, look for CE mark when buying sunglasses. CE indicates how much protection your sunglasses provide against UV rays. The CE mark usually appears on the leg of the sunglasses alongside the category number code. The European standard rate the UV sunglasses ranges from '0' for insufficient protection, '1' for sufficient, '2' for good, and '3' for full UV protection.
