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.
