How does Ultraviolet Light affect a child’s eyes?


2 main types of Ultraviolet (UV) Light:


UVA - is visible and causes tanning and contributes to aging.


UVB - is invisible and causes sunburn and skin cancer. UVB is more damaging.

 




  • 80% of a lifetime 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 sunburning of thecornea; Cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens which reduces vision; and Skin Cancer can develop on the eyelids and surrounding skin.

Product Description

 Why Wear Sunglasses?


Sunglasses are important for a variety of reasons. They are essential for preventing sun damage to your eyes while at the same time, improving your vision and visual comfort. They can also help you make a unique fashion statement.


Our eyes are affected by exposure to the rays of ultraviolet radiation. Overexposure to UV light contributes to the development of cataracts, retinal damage and other eye problems. Experts report that as much as 80% of UV damage to our eyes is done before the age of 18, making it even more important all of us to start protecting our eyes at an early age.


Sunglasses also serve as a shield against the glaring light of the sun and providing you with better visual clarity. You can choose anything from a soft tint to a dark, polarized lens.


Polarized Lenses are unique sunglasses that not only reduce the amount of light that reaches your eyes but actually contains a special filter that blocks the intense reflected light, thus reducing glare.


For people who are looking for the most ideal vision in all lighting conditions, the new Driverwear lenses were made for you. Combining two of the most advanced technologies found in the eyeglass industry today, transition lenses and polarization, Drivewear lenses maximize useful light and minimize glare and excess light. Driverwear lenses create the most optimal visual environment for you in almost any situation.
