Summertime entails wearing sunglasses with almost every outfit we put on. It becomes the key complement for this season. Aviator sunglasses, clubmaster shapes, rounded or cat eye…, in the stores, they are plenty of models and colours. But, do they really protect us from damaging sunrays?
In recent years, we have taken into consideration the importance of looking after our skin, but we have forgotten our visual health also has memory and, with the passing of time, it will burst into the surface. That is why it is fundamental to choose a tested crystal by a health authority (Essilor, for instance) which takes into account the necessary features to protect ourselves from UV and infrared rays.
Damaging radiation for our eyes
We should bear in mind the UV radiation represents the 7% of the radiations we receive from the sun, and its damaging effects arise with no hints in advance (cataracts, spot degeneration, conjunctivitis…).
In fact, infrared light (imperceptible to the human eye) symbolizes the 40% of the solar radiations we receive, as the hot sensation too. The aforesaid radiation acts, in long-term, on our skin, in very a damaging way: it causes the lessening of collagen production and the arising of deep wrinkles around the eyes.
To avoid these kind of ocular diseases, it is necessary to wear sunglasses which protect our eyes and they do not only ornament our glances. We usually are tempted to great discounts and sales, forgetting our visual health.
What type of glasses protect me the best?
That is why in Optical H we do recommend polarized lenses as one of the best options. These special lenses oblige the light to come to our eyes by going through one direction, through filters and special layers. Moreover, in our shop we have a wide range of polarized glasses with special discounts applied in all of them. Check out which one suits you best and protect your eyes!
