Maintaining good eye health:
- Comfortable Vision: Some people are very sensitive to brightness and glare. Polarized lenses are the most effective lenses for blocking glare. By cutting down brightness and glare, people will visually perform better and be more comfortable.
- UV Protection: Wide-brimmed hats and caps can block about 50 percent of UV radiation from the eyes but optometrist say that is not enough protection. People should wear sunglasses outdoors whether they are working, driving, participating in sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun. Wearing a protective eyewear any time your eyes are exposed to UV light, even on cloudy days and during winter months.
- Dark adaptation: Spending just two or three hours in bright sunlight can hamper the eyes' ability to adapt quickly to nighttime or indoor light levels. This can make driving at night after spending a day in the sun more hazardous.
- Sunglasses are fashionable and fun accessories. People look “cool” with sunglasses.
- Women can hide behind them when they aren't wearing makeup. Sunglasses provide their wearers with anonymity and privacy.
- Olympic eyewear offers carries many different colors of the same model so you’re sure to find a pair for every outfit you own.
- Don’t forget about helping your children and teenagers. Wayfarer sunglasses are one of the most popular styles right now for just about any age but will also provide them with the needed protection for the harmful UV rays. Teenagers and children typically spend more time in the sun than adults so make sure you provide them with the needed protection.
