Why Wear Sunglasses?
Sunglasses
are important for a variety of reasons. They are essential for
preventing sun damage to your eyes while at the same time, improving
your vision and visual comfort. They can also help you make a unique
fashion statement.
Our eyes are
affected by exposure to the rays of ultraviolet radiation. Overexposure
to UV light contributes to the development of cataracts, retinal damage
and other eye problems. Experts report that as much as 80% of UV damage
to our eyes is done before the age of 18, making it even more important
all of us to start protecting our eyes at an early age (Note: see chart
for more specifics).
Sunglasses
also serve as a shield against the glaring light of the sun and
providing you with better visual clarity. You can choose anything from
a soft tint to a dark, polarized lens.
Polarized Lenses
are unique sunglasses that not only reduce the amount of light that
reaches your eyes but actually contains a special filter that blocks
the intense reflected light, thus reducing glare.
For people who are looking for the most ideal vision in all lighting conditions, the new Driverwear
lenses were made for you. Combining two of the most advanced
technologies found in the eyeglass industry today, transition lenses
and polarization, Drivewear lenses maximize useful light and minimize glare and excess light. Driverwear lenses create the most optimal visual environment for you in almost any situation.
