UV RAYS ARE DANGEROUS
UV rays have a cumulative impact on eyes over everyone’s lifetime, accelerating eye diseases and skin ageing.
- We offer a wide range of ophthalmic spectacle lenses with different levels of UV protection. All our sunglasses provide maximum UV protection
Protection is crucial everyday
- 40% of UV exposure occurs outside in direct sunlight
- UV rays are very harmful all year long – spring, summer, autumn and winter
- Cloud cover offers very limited protection
Protection is crucial for everyone
- Everyone is affected, however more protection should be given to children
- Unprotected juvenile eyes, allow significantly more UV to pass to the back of the eye
- Children require more protection as they spend time outside therefore more likely to be exposed to harmful UV rays
Protection is crucial in all situations
- In full sunlight, UV intensity is up to 20 times higher
- Surrounding surfaces often reflect large amount of UV including concrete, snow and sand
- When wearing tinted lenses pupils widen (dilate), so lens rear surface UV reflections are even more problematic.
