There are many reasons to wear sunglasses, ranging from the style to the health benefits. While you can pick up a cheap pair of shades at your local drugstore, it goes without saying that these don’t give you the appearance and health benefits you’re going for.

For this reason, you turn your attention to the higher quality sunglasses on the market. There’s only one problem with this: these can set you back hundreds of dollars or more.

Rather than purchase new, it may be time to start your search for gently used sunglasses. In addition to the internet, you can find these at estate sales, garage sales, and flea markets.

Tip: don’t assume you should only wear sunglasses in the summer. The sun can shine just as bright during the winter months, especially when you take into consideration snow glare.

Here are some brands that are known for their quality:

·      Ray-Ban

·      Oakley

·      Bulgari

·      Maui Jim

·      Cartier

·      Dolce and Gabbana

·      Lugano

·      Cartier

·      Persol

·      American Optical

When you buy a quality pair of sunglasses you can be rest assured that they’re manufactured to stand up to the test of time. Not to mention the fact that you’ll enjoy the style and the way they keep the sun from straining your eyes.

With gently used sunglasses, you won’t pay nearly as much as you would for a new pair. As long as you take the quality and condition into consideration, you should be able to purchase something that suits your every need, without breaking the bank.
