Why Polarized Sunglasses are a Great Choice

Why Polarized Lenses?
For all the benefits we receive from the sun, its light can pose serious vision problems. Sunlight reflecting off of smooth water, snow or flat roads can create glare which is not only annoying, but can often be dangerous. Blinding sun glare can cause accidents, snow blindness and can even sunburn your eyes. Long term exposure to sun glare has been known to cause cataracts. Thankfully, polarized lenses can shield you against the dangers of intense glare.
Protect your eyes against blue light
March 07, 2018
Today, over 90 percent of the population spends at least two hours a day focusing on a digital display. The amount of time drastically rises among young professionals, who are more likely to rely on digital devices for both work and recreation.
While these devices are important to our lives, they also pose a great threat to our eyesight. It has been discovered that all digital screens, be it televisions, smartphones, computers, or simple LED displays, emit HEV (High Energy Visible) or what is commonly known as blue light.
Exposure to blue light has been linked to digital eyestrain, poor quality of sleep, and in extreme cases, increased risk of macular degeneration and retinal disease.
Dangers Of Ultraviolet Radiation To Your Eyes
To protect your eyes from harmful solar radiation, sunglasses should block 100 percent of UV rays and also absorb most HEV rays. Frames with a close-fitting wraparound style provide the best protection because they limit how much stray sunlight reaches your eyes from above and beyond the periphery of your sunglass lenses.
