선글라스 착용자의 선글라스 착용목적과 구매요소 분석

This study is to investigate to find out the sunglasses wearing status of 101 adults (average age: 33.62 ± 9.60 years), including where they purchased sunglasses, who purchased them, the purpose of wearing them, the time they were worn per day, and their preferred designs. Only the results of those who faithfully answered the questionnaire were analyzed as they were subjects who used sunglasses more than 4 days a week in their daily lives. The average number of sunglasses owned was 1.89±0.95, and the place of purchasing sunglasses was 35.6% at an optical shop, 23.3% at a department store or outlet online mall. 71.7% were purchasing it themselves, 62.4% were wearing it less than 1 hour a day, and 25.7% responded that they were wearing it for 1 to 2 hours. 28.7% wore it for the purpose of blocking UV rays for eye health, 25.3% wore it for outdoor activities, 16.9% wore it as a fashion item, and 15.7% wore it for driving. Vision correction is an essential element of sunglasses, and optical factors such as visible light transmittance must be taken into consideration to provide personalized sunglasses.
