The sun is indispensable to all life on our planet, but its life-giving rays can place us at great risk. The primary danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Apart from the sun, UV radiation is also given off by artificial sources such as welding machines, tanning beds and lasers.

Most people are aware of the damage UV radiation can do to the skin, but few realize that UV radiation can harm the eyes or that other elements of solar radiation also affect vision.

Quality sunglasses that offer UV protection can provide additional safety and may guard against developing vision problems caused by harmful radiation.

Modern sunglasses offer three important options for the wearer:

  • They are essential in preventing damage to your eyes
  • They can be customised to improve your vision
  • They add to your lifestyle by helping you make a trendy fashion statement
