PERSONAL HEALTH : Have Your Eye on Pair of Sunglasses?

Is there a difference between a $375 pair of sunglasses and a pair for which you get change back from your five bucks?

Not necessarily, according to our eye experts. In your quest for The Great Pair of Sunglasses, you should look for these features:

* The best ultraviolet blockage.

* As big a lens as possible.

* A gray lens (considered the best because there is little color distortion).

* And mirrored glasses--if you are exposed to very high glare from water or snow, according to the American Optometric Assn. (Try sharing that tidbit the next time you’re pulled over by a cop or in a room full of FBI agents.)
