What are UV Protection Lenses?

UV protection lenses are specially treated or manufactured to block or absorb the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV light is comprised mainly of UVA and UVB rays, both of which can cause harm to the eyes. For effective protection, lenses should block 99% to 100% of these rays, preventing them from reaching the sensitive structures of the eye.

What is the Benefit of UV Protection Lenses?

The benefit of UV protection lenses is vital for long-term eye health and vision safety:

1. Reduces Risk of Disease: They significantly lower the risk of developing sun-exposure-related conditions over time, such as cataracts (a common cause of blurred vision) and can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

2. Prevents Ocular Sunburn: They shield the cornea and conjunctiva from photokeratitis, which is essentially a painful sunburn on the eye's surface.

3. Reduces Eyestrain: The dark tint helps minimize brightness and glare, making outdoor viewing more comfortable and reducing strain in sunny conditions.

4. Protects Skin: The rectangular, slightly curved frame design provides better physical coverage, helping to protect the sensitive skin around the eyes from UV damage, which is key to preventing premature aging.
