Sunglasses are not able to add a sense of style to any occasion, they also help to maintain and protect the health of your eyes. The right pair of sunglasses can be the ultimate accessory – you can choose from the very best sports and fashion sunglass collections, such as Ray Ban, Porsche Design, Tom Ford, Dior, Maui Jim and many more…
No , they are not. Wearing cheap sunglasses without any certification to protect against UVA or UVB could result in more eye damage than not wearing sunglasses at all. This is because the dark lenses will lead to dilation (opening) of the pupil, which in turn will allow more light and UVA energy to enter the eye and therefore cause damage to the retina and lens. All our sunglasses ae certified, and we encourage you to wear them on any bright days, all throughout the year.
Yes, as just as UV sunlight can damage your skin, it can also damage the inside and outside the eyes. Wearing sunglasses therefore helps to protect against lid melanomas, but also yellowing of the whites of your eyes, cataracts and macula degeneration. It's also worth noting that you're never too young for sunglasses. Young children are most at risk of eye damage, because they have larger pupils which let in more light, as well as a clear lens inside the eye. This can mean that, when compared to adults, three times more UV light could reach a child's retina.
