Just make sure the sunglasses state 100% UV protection or UV400. My $6 pair states as such. This is also true for goggles although I can't imagine any that don't. Also, if you're riding or hiking in snow they need to fit snugly around your eyes. That's why I don't wear my free Sunclouds while snowsurfing or hiking.

Thank you all, I found a pair that she loves and seem to fit all of the criteria above.
