Sunglasses are the most important tool in your eye-protection arsenal. They don't have to cost a fortune, but the most important thing is that they are marked to block UV rays.

"Ultraviolet rays can cause sunburned corneas, cancer of the eyelid and increased risk of eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration", says Betsy van Die, media director for Prevent Blindness America. - "When that happens, vision can become blocked and surgery is necessary". Van Die notes that tennis player Jennifer Capriati had surgery on both eyes for pterygium last fall.

When buying sunglasses look for a sticker that shows the necessary measure of safety - ideally they should block 100% of UV rays. Don't buy sunglasses that just say they "block harmful UV". And there's plenty of choice - from Gucci, Prada, Chanel to Gap, Le Chateau and Fossil.

Changing your shades can be just as much fun as changing your bag or shoes - match them to your outfit, to your hairstyle, or just to your mood. And if the sun proves elusive, push your stylish shades back onto the top of your head for maximum style-protection factor!
