Lens Specifications: UV Protection and Style

The lenses are a dark, smoky gray providing excellent sun reduction. The specific lens shape is Oversized Oval/Geometric, matching the distinctive frame. Crucially, these lenses offer essential UV protection (Ultraviolet protection).

What are UV Protection Lenses?

UV protection lenses are designed to absorb or block the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV light includes two primary types: UVA and UVB rays, both of which can harm the eyes and the surrounding skin. Sunglasses with full UV protection are certified to block 99% to 100% of these harmful rays.

What is the Benefit of UV Protection Lenses?

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

1. Reduces Risk of Disease: By consistently filtering UV rays, they significantly lower the risk of developing serious, sun-exposure-related conditions over time, such as cataracts (a common clouding of the natural lens) and can help mitigate the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

2. Prevents Ocular Sunburn: They shield the surface of the eye (cornea and conjunctiva) from photokeratitis, a painful condition similar to sunburn.

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

4. Excellent Coverage: Due to their oversized nature, these frames physically cover a larger area of the face, offering enhanced protection to the sensitive, thin skin around the eyes from UV damage, which helps prevent premature aging and skin cancer.
