Testing Sunglasses UV Protection

I think it's an old model of extreme living inc

More often than not, one is just paying for the brand name and all the marketing hype and designs for expensive sunglasses. Nice to know that only one failed the test for UV protection.

I'm no research professor, but if one is to conduct a test to determine a physical property of a material....wouldn't one find it best to follow a scientific method?

-The sample size alone of 31 pairs is horribly low to make any proper conclusions.
also 31 is a horribly arbitrary number. Why not 100 or 50.
1 in 31 pairs that's about 3.2 percent of glasses that are not safe, with 100million bought a year (as reported), then that's at least 3.2MILLION unsafe sunglasses!!!!!!!
IS THAT NOT SOMETHING ALARMING??? They write it off as negligible, that's 6.4MILLION eyeballs exposed to UV rays..

-The report did not seem to keep track of what pairs where bought where, what price each one was, blah blah ...a lot of information could have been extrapolated

- Worse of all, the reporters made grand conclusions, and statements based on their "results", and they misinterpreted what the doctor tells them about the "tint" being bad. They are not educating the public, how can they if they don't understand the mechanism themselves...
Wearing sunglasses that were determined to be unsafe, and then admitting it like the reporter did makes you lose credibility, don't reporters NEED credibility? Mispronouncing a word like "Photometer" furthers that lost credibility...

It is my hope that a reporter would be credible and understand what they are reporting, and know HOW to report. Bad methods lead to bad results, that leads to bad conclusions and bad advice.
If one is conducting research then one should understand fundamentals in order to make a SIMPLE report like this effective.

Now i find myself thinking, " What are these reporters doing that I cant? Why do I need them, or why do i need to watch them to be informed? A bit of critical thinking, and I can know more about them on a subject I know little about"

Glad i didn't go to journalism school ...Pssshhhhhhhhhhhhh

After all pure glass filters out most of the UV rays. And glass is cheap therefore the producers of cheap shades can offer UV protection to their customers.

Anyone here knows if polarized sunglasses means they are UV protected?

If anyone is interested I have a professional photometer just like the one in video...

My ray ban failed the UV light test

I actuall bought a Perfect 5$ pair of sunglasses. You WILL immediately know if they are good if they are perfect.

Have you tried UV protective glasses. It worked really well for me. I got it at @t

Humans have clearly havnt evolved.

Blue t shirt girl behind trying to impress me... N see i like her ♥️

60 minutes did a great news story on the cost of sunglasses that people should check out. You really are mostly just paying for a name

But the question is how long till the cheap pair lenses get all scratched up ..and then you have to go and buy another and another and so on

Searching for uv400 / 100% uv protection sunglasses. Please suggest some

Well I love my Ray Bans and I know I'm safe! So there's that!

Are you sure ? 0 in my uv test machie means NO uv protection.

That's a very weird conclusion... $5 sunglasses are fine... yeah get them tested or stick to better brands.

Testing uv 400 should be mandatory for vendors or vending machine. It’s the government responsibility. ✅

You buy style 😂😂😂 I just payed for Ray bans that look just like my $12 glasses sunglasses.

I'm amazed

Is they're 100% 0 to 400 uv protection or 300 to 400. There is a difference. If you have macular degeneration you need 0 to 400. Be careful.

So another words, we haven't a clue what we are buying - cheap or expensive. Glasses are all a gimmick to get your money. Just because it is a well known glasses manufacturer, doesnt mean a rats A^^ to me.

but we buy versace for its brand or style, thats why we pay more,lol

Where do they have a photometer? I asked at a glasses store, but they didn't have one
