Italian-Made Louis Vuitton Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Italian-Made Louis Vuitton Cat-Eye Sunglasses

This is an exceptionally chic pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses. The frame features a sleek, narrow cat-eye shape, giving them a retro-glamorous and sharp aesthetic.

The material is a classic and luxurious Havana (tortoiseshell) acetate finish, which is highly prized in eyewear. The frame is distinctively embellished with a large, gold-toned metal plaque on the temple arm, featuring a diamond/quilted pattern. This metallic detail adds significant visual interest and luxury to the design.

These sunglasses are designated as Made in Italy, which ensures superior quality in the acetate material, attention to detail, and overall craftsmanship.

Lens Specifications: UV Protection and Style

The lenses are a dark, smoky gray providing effective visual comfort. The specific lens shape is known as Cat-Eye (or sometimes Extreme Cat-Eye due to its narrow width) which perfectly mirrors the frame silhouette. Crucially, these lenses offer essential UV protection (Ultraviolet protection).

What are UV Protection Lenses?

UV protection lenses are designed to block or absorb the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV light is comprised mainly of UVA and UVB rays, both of which can cause damage to the eyes and surrounding skin. Sunglasses with full UV protection are certified to block 99% to 100% of these rays.

What is the Benefit of UV Protection Lenses?

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

1. Prevents Eye Diseases: They significantly reduce the risk of developing serious, sun-exposure-related conditions over time, such as cataracts (a common cause of blurred vision) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

2. Protects the Cornea: They shield the surface of the eye from photokeratitis, which is a painful condition similar to sunburn on the eye.

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

4. Protects Skin: The lenses, along with the frame itself, protect the sensitive, thin skin around the eyes from UV damage, which can lead to premature aging and increased risk of skin cancer.
