Costa del Mar Fashion aside, sunglasses serve a true function — protecting
eyes from the harmful rays produced by the sun. You're probably well
aware of the need to protect your skin from the sun, but it's equally
important to protect your eyes. Ultraviolet Light's Dangers Ultraviolet
(UV) radiation consists of invisible rays from the sun. The three bands
of UV light are: UVA, UVB and UVC. UVC rays are of little concern as
they are absorbed by the upper atmosphere and do not reach the earth’s
surface. UVB rays are the ones that burn the skin and can damage the
eyes. Combined with cold wind and snow, UVB has the potential to cause
snow blindness (photokeratitis), a temporary (lasting 12 to 48 hours)
but painful problem in the cornea of the eye. Polarized progressives
are perfect for the presbyope who is also an outdoor sports aficionado.
And polarized photochromic (that go from dark outside to light inside)
lenses are right for the light-sensitive person who changes environments
(inside to outside and vice versa) frequently.The bottom line is that
whether you spend your time boating or waterskiing, in-line skating
or mountain biking, driving at night or jogging at noon, polarized sunglasses
are an excellent choice for sunwear. However, for most other sports
and activities, polarized sunglasses can offer great advantages and
benefits to the wearer. There are also many options available to the
consumer in the types of polarized lenses on the market.Polarized lenses
are great at reducing glare.
