Fake Designer Sunglasses – Friend or Foe?

Yes, fake products are everywhere. From that Gucci wallet, to that Prada purse, to those fabulous Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses – as long as there’s the real thing, there will be someone out there trying to copy it and selling it for a cheaper price. So, what can be wrong with trying to sell good-looking designer sunglasses for a more “affordable price?” Well, plenty…

Dangerously Poor Quality

Of course the quality of fake sunglasses will not be anywhere near the original. But it’s more than just being poor, it’s being dangerously poor. For instance, the lenses may not be shatterproof, which could put your eyes in danger in case of an accident.

No UV Protection

The unauthentic sunglasses may lack any UV protection, again putting your peepers at risk for harmful UV ray exposure. In those types of cases, the sunglasses fail in their primary purpose of protecting your eyes against the sun.

Distorted Lenses

Because the quality of the sunglasses’ lenses is meager, they may also be quite distorted which can cause the consumer headaches, dizziness and visual disturbances, such as illusions of uneven ground.

Too Fragile To Last

Again, since the quality is cheap, fake sunglasses simply cannot last as long as the real designer sunglasses. They scratch, bend and fall apart far quicker than the real thing. It may cost more to purchase several replacement pairs of the fake sunglasses than one authentic pair of designer sunglasses.

The Verdict Is In?!

It seems that all of the above-mentioned reason warn against purchasing unauthentic sunglasses. Sure, you may think you’re getting a good deal since most fakes may look pretty close to the original, but in actuality you’re doing yourself a disservice.

So, why not spend a little more money, but buy a pair that will not only look great but also last a long time. And it always feels good to know that you own the real thing.
