Lacoste Sunglasses

In the July, 2005 issue of Consumer Reports, test results were published concerning the protection level against ultraviolet (UV) light radiation in 48 different brands of sunglasses.
To test the sunglasses, Consumer Reports used a spectrophotometer for measuring the amount of UV and visible light that was blocked by the sunglasses being tested. The standards by which the results were measured against were from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
The ANSI standards were used because according to Consumer Reports,
The ANSI standards apply to three classes of nonprescription sunglasses: cosmetic, general purpose, and special purpose sunglasses. The standards include limits on transmission of both UVB and UVA (the two kinds of UV rays that damage the eyes). Cosmetic models are allowed to transmit up to 30 percent of the UVB striking the sunglass lens. General purpose models, however, must block at least 95 percent of the UVB and much of the UVA as well. Standards for special purpose models - sunglasses used for mountain-climbing, skiing, and the like - are the most stringent. Those models must filter out at least 99 percent of the UVB to meet the standard.
What Consumer Reports found was that all 48 models tested, whether expensive designer sunglasses or inexpensive non-branded models, met the ANSI standards for general purpose and most all met the standards for special purpose sunglasses even if they weren't marketed as such.
Knowing that you can get adequate protection from UV light radiation with inexpensive, no-name brand sunglasses; why not spend a few dollars more to ensure that you are getting sunglasses made with studier materials and better workmanship thereby prolonging the life of your sunglasses.
Lacoste sunglasses fill this niche nicely. They offer all the protection for your safety, they are built with quality materials, and seeing their pricetag won't burn a hole in your retina nor in your wallet.
