No. They don't. Replica sunglasses at the swapmeets provide no UV protection at all. They just offer funny styled sunglasses.Originally Posted by isitsafe

5 bucks.. New Orleans French Quarter flea market.
Just the eye guy in me thinking though - I think a lot more about protection of eyes than most people - and that's why all the sunglasses I have for sale are at least 10x that.
All sunglasses have to provide some sort of UV protection. But LV Evidence Lenses are made of the same stuff that Telescopes that they look at OUTERSPACE are made of!!!
