Eco-Friendly Benefits of Wood SunglasseS
People have recognized the benefits of an Eco-friendly lifestyle. We recycle and choose organic produce. Should this new trend extend to our sunglasses as well? Why not.
A current trend in glassware is the wood sunglasses. Instead of the plastic frames, this new product line uses wood to frame their lenses. By using products that nature has provided for us these sunglasses are not only Eco-friendly but very fashionable.
Are these wood sunglasses just as good as the standard glasses? Wood Sunglasses are crafted in the same style and design as your favorite standard sunglasses. The frames are made from a variety of wood but the most common is bamboo. This wood is common and easily harvested. Another benefit of the bamboo frames are that they float! A few other choices in wood frames include ebony, walnut, rosewood and zebra. The choices are numerous and varied depending on your preference in color and style. As you can see the options in frames are just as individualized as the standard plastic frames.
But are the lenses just as good? Most wood sunglasses include the same lens options that you find anywhere. You can choose polarized lenses that eliminate the glare that the sun reflects on surfaces such as glass and water. You can also opt for standard lenses that offer UVA/UVB protection.
Are they harder to care for? Wood sunglasses are a piece of art. Each one is crafted just for you. You need to care for them as you wood any wooden possession. If you notice the wood lightening, use oil or wax to simply return to shine and luster to your frames.
If you are concerned about conserving our natural resources or just want to keep up with current trends, you can’t go wrong with the wood sunglasses.
