How to Recommend Suitable Sunglasses to Customers?
As an optical retailer, recommending the right pair of sunglasses to customers is crucial to their satisfaction and safety. Here are some key factors to consider when recommending sunglasses to clients.
- Ultraviolet Protection
UV protection is essential for sunglasses as ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your eyes and increase the risk of eye diseases. To ensure adequate UV protection, recommend sunglasses with a UV400 ultraviolet protection level that can block at least 99% of ultraviolet rays.
- Choosing the Correct Lens Color
Different activities and lighting conditions require different lens colors. For example, if the customer intends to use their sunglasses for driving, it is best to avoid yellow and rose-colored lenses that can make reading traffic lights difficult. Instead, recommend gray, green, or brown lenses that can improve visibility while driving.
For sports such as golf and baseball, rose-colored lenses can help improve contrast and brighten the environment. And if the customer intends to use their sunglasses in low-light conditions, such as during dusk or morning hours, yellow lenses can be a good option.
- Lens Impact Resistance
For high-intensity sports, sunglasses with strong impact resistance lenses such as Polycarbonate lenses are highly recommended. If clients want the clearest lenses, Glass lenses are an option but can be fragile if not handled with care.
- Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses can reduce glare and reflection from surfaces such as water or roads, making them ideal for driving or water sports. However, reading GPS devices, cell phones, or LCD dashboard displays can be difficult as the polarized lenses can interfere with these digital screens.
- Special Lens Filters
Ordinary sunglasses may not protect eyes from extreme light sources such as tanning beds, snow, and arc welding. Special lens filters are needed for these exposure situations. Additionally, sunglasses do not protect the eyes from direct sunlight, so it is important to never look directly at the sun, including during a solar eclipse.
By considering these factors, optical shops can recommend the right pair of sunglasses for their clients’ individual needs and preferences. Remember, the right pair of sunglasses not only protects the eyes but can also enhance outdoor activities while providing style and comfort.
