Selecting Sunglasses for Eye Health

While we know that the sun can be damaging to our bodies, protecting our eyes from the sun is just as important. Sunglasses can protect from UVA, UVB and UVC – check labels on sunglasses to determine protection levels. Also take a look at labels, for indication of polarized lenses, as these will provide additional comfort. When shopping for sunglasses, you can also consider the lens color – some colors can be more beneficial for particular environments. Look for ground glasses instead of plastic with coating, particularly if you have a daily-wear prescription. Maui Jim has some particularly stylish frames with both UV protection and polarization. With typically 80% of sun damage occurring prior to age 10 be sure to consider protective eyewear for children well as the adults in your family!
