How Can Sunglasses Protect Your Sight?

Although invisible, ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a significant component of sunlight. While the ozone layer filters some UV rays, exposure accumulates over time. Even brief periods of direct sunlight can have long-term effects on our eye health.

Exposure to both UVA and UVB rays can increase the risk of:

Cataracts
Macular degeneration
Eyelid skin cancer
Pterygium & pinguecula

Kids & Sunlight Safety

Spending time outside benefits kids for many reasons–it promotes physical activity and can reduce the likelihood of developing myopia (nearsightedness). But kids still need to be careful of prolonged UV exposure.

Kids are particularly vulnerable because their natural lens is developing and is less capable of filtering out harmful rays. That means they can be at risk for serious eye problems later in life. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 80% of a person’s cumulative UV exposure occurs before age 18. By taking proactive measures now to protect your child’s eyes, such as encouraging them to wear stylish sunglasses, you contribute to their lifelong enjoyment of healthy vision.

Not only do we pioneer photochromic technology, we also engineer it into every lens we make. In bright conditions, when UV radiation is more intense, the lens molecules expand in size, darkening the lenses and allowing them to absorb more light.
