Sunglasses with a base curve 8 come with lenses that have a large curvature, which gives the frame a high wrap fit. This means that the sunglasses will enclose your face to a greater extent and, at the same time, give a snug fit. Due to the high wrap design and the enclosed and snug fit, you are ensured a better protection against light in your peripheral field of view.
As such, a pair of sunglasses with a base curve 8 will ensure you an active leisure look, which can keep your view clear and unbothered. The curved lenses and the high wrap fit ensure that functionality is in focus. Additionally, the high wrap fit will protect you against UV-rays from all angles while it, at the same time, protects your vision against water, wind, and dust, to a greater extent. If you want complete protection against the elements, a pair of sunglasses with our Facial Cavity™ Seal can offer you this, as all these models also comes with a base curve 8.
