During the summer we learn to protect our skin with sunscreen and hydrate our bodies to stay healthy through the hottest months of the year. Sunglasses and quality ones are a must for the health of your eyes and the delicate skin that surrounds them. Many people don’t realize the importance of protecting their eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Although you can’t see it, you should always protect your eyes from overexposure to UV radiation. Even on a cloudy day, UV light from the sun can cause sunburn on the cornea of your eyes. It can also cause blurred vision, redness, and irritation.
- Make sure your eyewear provides 100% UV protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
- Consider photochromic or polarized lenses.
- Go online to check the UV index in your area. http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvindex.html
All of our sunglasses have 100% UV protection and we have a beautiful selection of polarized suns as well. The other consideration is how well the sunglasses fit your face. The less sun that can get behind your sunglasses the better. From sporty to fashion styles make sure you have the best protection this summer.
