Product Insights
The Juno Rectangular Aviator Sunglasses from Simons deliver 100% UV400 protection equivalent to designer sunglasses for just $19 CAD, with non-polarized lenses and a modern rectangular Navigator shape. The main tradeoff is that maintaining the budget lens optics requires careful cleaning (rinse with cool water, wipe with microfiber, use mild soap) and storage in a hard case away from dashboard heat to prevent frame warping and scratches.
- UV protection
Delivers 100% UV400 protection, blocking 99-100% of UVA/UVB.
Why this is supported
The product's '100% UV protection' label is backed by authoritative guidance:
Look for a sticker or tag that promises 100% UV protection from all types of UV light. Some labels say “UV absorption up to 400nm,” which is also acceptable.
aao.org. This means the lenses block 99-100% of UVA and UVB. Crucially, the UV protection is independent of the lens tint:
The UV-blocking capability comes from the lens material itself or a special coating, not the tint.
lensmartonline.com. The need for reliable UV shielding is underscored by the cumulative nature of UV damage:
The risk of damage to our eyes and skin from solar UV radiation is cumulative: The danger continues to grow the more time you spend in sunlight over your lifetime.
allaboutvision.com. Thus, the non-polarized Juno sunglasses provide essential eye protection.
- Polarization
Non-polarized lenses; polarization reduces glare but does not block UV.
Why this is supported
The Q&A response indicates that the Juno sunglasses are not polarized:
these sunglasses are likely non-polarized
Are the lenses polarized?. This is common for budget-friendly sunglasses, and it does not compromise eye safety. The American Academy of Ophthalmology clarifies that
Polarization itself does not provide UV protection. Instead, it provides a better experience for certain activities like driving, boating, or golfing.
aao.org. So while these glasses lack glare reduction, they still protect against UV.
- Price value
19 CAD price point delivers UV400 protection equivalent to designer sunglasses, per AAO.
Why this is supported
The AAO confirms that UV protection is independent of price:
Sunglasses don't have to be expensive to be safe and effective. Drugstore sunglasses labeled as 100% UV-blocking are a better choice than designer sunglasses with no protection.
aao.org. Thus, the 19 CAD Juno sunglasses, with their '100% UV protection' description, provide the same eye safety as any expensive pair.
- Lens care
Rinse with cool water then wipe with microfiber to maintain UV coating.
Why this is supported
To maintain the UV coating, cleaning experts advise:
Hold sunglasses under cool water for 10–15 seconds, especially if they've been at the beach (sand and salt) or on a dusty trail. Dry-wiping a dusty lens drags grit across the coatings. This single habit prevents the majority of long-term lens damage.
z-clear.comAnd they recommend using a microfiber cloth:
Use a premium nano/microfiber cloth— never paper towels, tissues, or t-shirt cotton. Buff in concentric circles with light pressure. The microfiber lifts oils without grinding them in.
z-clear.com- Shape
Juno's rectangular Navigator shape delivers modern, confident style, distinct from teardrop aviators.
Why this is supported
The Juno adopts the Navigator sub-style, which
trades the classic curve for a squared or rectangular lens shape, offering a bolder, more structured look.
lensmartonline.comThis shape projects a modern, confident edge associated with fashion influencers and modern executives, contrasting with the teardrop aviator's fighter pilot and 1970s rock star nostalgia, as shown by the comparison:
Style Icon | Fighter Pilot, 1970s Rockstar | Fashion Influencer, Modern CEO

- Cleaning
Pre-rinse, microfiber wipe, and mild soap cleaning preserve budget lens optics.
Why this is supported
Catalog verified the key cleaning practices. To avoid scratching budget lenses, a pre-rinse removes grit:
This single habit prevents the majority of long-term lens damage.
z-clear.comAfter rinsing, only a microfiber cloth should touch the lenses; from the same source:
The microfiber lifts oils without grinding them in.
z-clear.comFor deeper cleaning, mild dish soap is advised:
a few drops of mild dishwashing soap, without harsh detergents or moisturizers.
allaboutvision.com- Storage
Store in a hard case and avoid dashboard heat to prevent frame warping and scratches.
Why this is supported
The most important storage rule is using a hard case, emphasized by lensmartonline.com:
Always Use a Hard Case: This is the single most important rule. A rigid case protects against scratches, pressure, and impact.
lensmartonline.comSunnies.com.au notes that unprotected storage leads to damage:
Throwing your sunnies into your glovebox or handbag without protection? That’s a fast track to scratches, bent arms, or cracked lenses.
sunnies.com.auHeat is another risk; car interiors can exceed 60°C, warping plastic frames. Lensmartonline.com warns:
The interior of a car parked in the sun can reach temperatures well over 60°C (140°F).
lensmartonline.comSunnies.com.au advises:
Always store your sunglasses with the lenses facing up and keep them away from extreme heat (like your dashboard in summer), which can warp plastic frames and damage lens coatings.
