Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays has become second nature to us all over the past few decades. We shop for the best sunscreen with the most protective SPF and reapply it after splashing in the water… But what about your eyes?
With warm spring days and sunny beach trips coming up, make sure you’re wearing sunglasses that meet the minimum requirements to protect your eyes. Long hours in the sun without wearing proper eye protection could cause damage by increasing cataracts or growths on the eye. Anytime you’re outdoors during the day, wear sunglasses that offer 100% UV absorption. UVA & UVB rays are the most dangerous part of sunlight and might be linked to a major cause of vision loss in people over the age of 60. Polarized lenses are best for eliminating glare if you’re driving or spending the day on the water.
If you’re concerned about finding a pair of sunglasses that can protect your eyes and still make you look like a Victoria’s Secret swimsuit model (or James Bond), we’re here to save the day. All of our sunglasses have 100% UVA and UVB protective lenses, so you can show off your fierce fashion sense while blocking out damaging rays. Shop our inventory of Maui Jim and Costa Del Mar sunglasses for your favorite shade of polarized lenses. And to protect the area around your eyes from increased risk of skin cancer or wrinkles, channel your inner movie star and go for the glam, oversized frames. Whichever pair you choose, rest assured that your eyes will be protected from the sun while you soak up the Vitamin D.
