SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER-PAGE !•- FRIDAY. JUNE 10, IS77 1 How to choose the right sunglasses Whether you're part of the outdoor activity or watching it, sunglasses should be part of your gear. Choose them for quality -- with sage green or neutral gray lenses for best rolor perception. Up nort^i where harsh glittery sunshine reflects off miles of glistening snow and ice, Eskimos still wear slitted bone or wood goggles to guard against glare and snowblindness. In the high land of Tibet, natives use screens of woven yak hair. Luckily those of us south of the Arctic have more sophisticated glare protection available, and a wide selection of lenses and frames. So many, it is often confusing to pick out a pair that is right for your style and your sun­ shine activities. A few tips Here are a few tips from Bausch & Lomb to help you select the right pair the next time you pur­ chase sunglasses. Outdoor light -- espe­ cially around water or snow -- can be as much as 20 times stronger than normal indoor light. So choose sunglasses that ab­ sorb at least 70% of the light Save those fun glasses-- those with light colored lenses--to accessorize your city wardrobe. Those pink and sky blue lenses offer little or no protection. On the subject of color, optical experts recom­ mend sage green or neu­ tral gray.

Snug fit Outdoor life is active so mak£ certain your glasses fit snugly and stay in place. Look for wire cores in the temples (side pieces). Their presence, a good indication of quality, adds fitting stability to the temples. Move the glasses back and forth. If there's much play, the glasses will be slipping, and no matter how smart they are, you'll be unhappy with them. Choose large lenses that cover the eyes and the area around them as fully as possible, but not so large that the glasses ride up on your cheeks when you smile. Complement face Look for a frame shape that does the most for you. If your face is round, complement it with a gently squared look. Or if your face is square, a rounded or aviator shape will be flattering. If you have a long or triangular face, try a round shape. As fashion has changed over the years, so have sunglasses. One style that hasn't changed and which remains at the top of the best-dressed list is the aviator goggle shape. It's a universal style that will look good on almost any­ one. Metal or plastic? Metal or plastic? Sun­ glasses with metal frames remain extremely popular, particularly in the goggle and squared goggle look. But there is a trend to­ ward plastic frames in the bright multi-pattern col­ ors. And many people are opting for lightweight plastic versions of the classic metal styles. The ancient Egyptians smeared a substance call­ ed Kohl around their eyes to reflect the glare of hard desert sun. They probably squinted all day long. To­ day, thanks to modern technology, we have the option of a variety .of fashionable frames and protective lenses to help us withstand the hot and bright sunshine with our eyes cool and wide open. Driving lips to aid vacationers A few driving tips can mean the difference between a great vacation and a night- mare, says Discover Amer­ ica Travel Organizations (DATO). • Have the car checked, tires inspected, etc., before you leave home to avoid an emergency while on the highway. • Plan ahead. By phon­ ing in advance for reserva­ tions, you don't have to worry where you will stay. And you'll know how much it will cost before you leave home. • Drive safely, and obey the 55 m.p.h. speed limit. There's a lot more to see in America at slower speeds, and you're saving energy -- and money as well. • Avoid rush hour driv­ ing. Plan in advance to avoid getting stuck in somebody else's rush hour traffic. • Use mass transit when possible. Often it's easier to see the sights at the destina­ tion by taking public transit, or sightseeing tours, and leaving the car in the garage. • Don't drive all day. It's a vacation, so plan ahead to avoid long stints behind the wheel.
