Why the lens matters more than you think.
Unfiltered Light
UV exposure is cumulative. Over the years, that exposure is linked to cataracts that arrive earlier in life.
Filtering the light that enters our eyes, much like drinking filtered water or breathing filtered air, helps us to lower our exposure, and protect one of the most precious organs in our body.
What a $60 pair can’t do
Most inexpensive sunglasses block UV, and that matters. But UV is only part of what your eyes deal with.
A budget lens mainly dims your view without removing glare. They can flatten detail or subtly distort what you see. As a result, your eyes keep working harder and making you fatigued and tired.
Polarization
Polarized lenses have a built-in filter that blocks bright, reflected light. This intense light is known as glare. When glare is reduced, our eyes feel more comfortable and we can see the world more clearly.
We call this comfortable light, because darker isn’t safer. A lens’s tint has nothing to do with its UV protection.
Take care of your health
You can take simple steps to keep your eyes healthy. Besides wearing good sunglasses every day, stay active, eat healthy, and try to rest your eyes throughout the day.
Especially if you look at screens often, take regular breaks and allow your eyes to focus on objects that are further away.
