I've developed contact dermatitis from wearing sunglasses - little scaly itchy red patches where the frames hit my face (bridge of my nose and sides of my face mainly). My GP said it's an allergy to the material of the sunglasses but finding hypoallergenic ones or ones less irritating is proving difficult. I've tried Ray-Bans, Fossil, Polaroid, Boots and FCUK and am allergic to all of them. Putting clear nail varnish on the frames is a temporary fix - but has anyone else had this and found an allergy-friendly pair of sunnies?

My mother has the same reaction to the nickle in metal parts of frames and watches so her glasses and watch are titanium.
For sunglasses its Penny's plastic frames, cheap and cheerful and never worrying about losing them:)

I used to have this issue, if you paint clear nail polish on the parts that touch your skin this could work if your allergy isn't that bad.
