Saw a reel on Instagram just today where some woman said she lost her eye from her car airbag shattering her sunglasses during a 25mph crash. She recommended only buying shatterproof polycarbonate lense sunglasses. Just figured I'd share because the idea that could happen never even occurred to me until seeing that.
My eye doctor told me to always buy reputable sunglasses at stores like Costco (since they would be held accountable if they ever sell a fake pair of expensive sunglasses such as RayBan) and never buy sunglasses online since there is a high probability that what you receive might be inauthentic and provide no UV protection.
Chinese fakes look just like the real product these days with a few minor differences on sunglasses, logo, packaging, and case! You can look up fake vs real pair of RayBan or Maui Jim sunglasses on YouTube to see the comparisons and the very little noticeable differences.
If a pair of sunglasses does not have the 100% UV protection they claim, they can harm your eyes, cause eye cancer, cataracts, or even blind you in the long term. Because wearing sunglasses without actual UV protection are more harmful for your eyes than without wearing one, since your pupils would expand from the dark lens and let in more UV into your eyes.
Nevertheless, if you still choose to buy sunglasses online, whatever the brand they may be, I recommend to bring your sunglasses to your eye doctor so they can check the UV protection with expensive, specialized optical equipment which detect all kinds of visible and invisible light including UV that is produced and blocked and can measure the different wavelengths.
If you do not want to go to an eye doctor, go to a local optical shop such as LensCrafters so they can check the actual UV protection on your sunglasses. They should do it for free, and do not forget to ask them how much UVA and UVB they protect against. It never hurts to be overly cautious when it comes to something as precious as your eyes!
The UV flashlight to do these tests can be bought from Amazon but be very careful with them.
WARNING: WEAR UV PROTECTED EYEWEAR AND WEAR GLOVES/LONG SLEEVE CLOTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE AT-HOME TESTS ABOVE. NEVER GET THE LIGHT INTO YOUR EYES OR ONTO YOUR SKIN. IT COULD CAUSE CATARACTS, SKIN CANCER, OR BLINDNESS. THE UV FLASHLIGHT IS NOT A TOY AND SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM CHILDREN!

This is good advice and all but eyedictive is legit. I've bought a dozen glasses over the years from various brands and they've all been legit. Some brands are shitty fashion labels but that's not their fault. My Ray-Bans have always been legit and awesome.

How did you you know the Ray-Bans were legit? Did you go to Sunglass Hut and ask the representative if they would compare your pair with one of their pairs to see if they were real?
Here's what I found on Reddit by a Reddit user:
"Luxottica owns a lot of major sunglass brands, including Oakley and Ray-Ban. If you're not purchasing through one of their retailers, and the price seems too good to be true, there's a good chance they're knock-offs. Just an fyi for those not aware of this."

This is true of anything. Buy everything from a reputable source. Anything can be Chinese fakes. Hope u apply your philosophy towards these sunglasses as u do with everything u own and do.

1. Eyedictive is not an authorized seller for any of the brands they carry.
2. Since they are not an authorized seller, the manufacturer will not honor any warranty.
3. The only contact info available for Eyedictive is a P.O. Box.
4. If you check prior Eyedictive threads, you will find many people stating they received fake sunglasses from Eyedictive.
