You should take your glasses to optometrists, they would be able to tell you if your sunglasses have UV protection.

Yes. The optometrists can tell whether the sunglasses have UV protection or not. You just take them to any optometrist and he will check it and let you know.

I am not sure if the optometrist can tell whether the sunglasses have UV protection. But I have heard that there is a machine to test how much UV rays can the sunglasses block.You can have a ask in the optical store.
