They also reduce eyestrain when it’s bright outside, and in some cases help protect your eyes from wind, rain, or flying debris. Any drugstore pair that blocks UV light will work, but I’ve had the chance to wear nearly two dozen pairs of innovative sunglasses while I ran, hiked, swam, and walked. These are my favorites.
