Did You Know?

80% of a lifetimes sun exposure is obtained before age 18.Children from the ages of birth to adolescence are at greatest risk to accrue eye damage from ultraviolet light.

 

Immediately after birth, nearly all UV Light is transmitted through the lens to the retina of the infant's eye because an infant's lenses have not begun the critical development necessary to block UV Light.During childhood, the lens transmittance decreases as the child's eyes further develop and by the age of 25, the lens absorbs almost all UV Light.

 

UV exposure contributes to the development of many eye disorders such as Photokeratitis, a reversible sun burning of the cornea: Cataracts, a clouding of the eye's natural lens which reduces vision; and Skin Cancer can develop on the eyelids and surrounding skin.Use UV400 lenses in a wraparound style Sunglass. The lens should also be made of Polycarbonate for added impact protection; especially for children.
