Too many consumers don’t realize that just like our skin, our eyes are vulnerable to UV rays and over exposure can result in health effects that vary from corneal growths to skin cancer around the eyes. Over a lifetime, sun damage accumulates so failing to protect our eyes from the sun’s rays can have countless effects on people of all ages. While the sun does not discriminate, there are a select group of people that need be extra wary of sun damage to the eyes including; senior citizens, children, people with light iris colors, contact lens wearers, outdoor enthusiasts, patients of eye procedures, those on certain medications and people who reside at higher altitudes. “As people become more aware about the harmful effects of the sun’s increasing strength, UV protected lenses like polarized lenses have become increasingly popular. Polarized lenses are the only lenses that can stop all harmful horizontal sun rays and multi-angular glare, as a result reducing eyestrain and fatigue and improving visual acuity,” explains Eden Wexler, for Safilo USA and Solstice Sunglass Boutique. Sunglasses are not only an important fashion accessory, but an essential during the spring and summer months as they prevent numerous eye-damaging diseases, including high intensity UV radiation burns to your cornea and retina. When shopping for sunglasses, choose stores like Solstice Sunglass Boutique that offer 100% UV-A and UV-B protection and follow these sleek trends for selecting the latest in eyewear fashion this season: Geometrics – Traditional shapes and designs get a decorative makeover showing a new twist on old classics.
