"When you buy fake sunglasses, you are gambling with your sight. Counterfeit eyewear is uniquely dangerous because it usually features dark-tinted lenses with absolutely zero UV protection. From a medical perspective, wearing them is actually significantly worse than wearing no sunglasses at all."
"If you get bright light in your eyes and you're not wearing sunglasses, you'll naturally not only cut down your pupil size, but you'll squint. You might tip your head a little bit so the brows are blocking the light - we have lots of natural protection to UV."
Experts warn against wearing fake designer sunglasses as they often lack essential UV filters, increasing the risk of eye damage. UV rays can cause short-term issues like photokeratitis and long-term conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Counterfeit sunglasses typically have dark lenses that cause pupil dilation, allowing more harmful UV radiation to enter the eye. Proper sunglasses should provide UV protection to prevent these risks and safeguard eye health.
