Read on to discover why all sunglasses are not made equal and why opting for ZEISS can make all the difference.

The Importance Of UV Protection For Your Eyes

One of the primary roles of sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to serious eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and even skin cancer around the eyelids. Quality sunglasses provide 99% to 100% UV protection, blocking both UVA and UVB rays effectively.

Unfortunately, many sunglasses sold at quick-stop stores or street vendors do not meet these protection standards. They might sport a dark tint, which reduces glare, but do not adequately block the harmful UV rays. It’s essential to look for sunglasses that specify complete UV protection.

Polarization Is Key For Glare Reduction

Another aspect to consider is polarization. Polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water or pavement, which not only makes it more comfortable to see in bright conditions but also enhances visual clarity and reduces eye strain.

While polarization is a fantastic feature, it’s important to note that not all polarized sunglasses offer UV protection. Always check the label to ensure you’re getting both benefits. High-quality sunglasses from reputable eyewear providers typically combine UV protection with polarization for maximum safety and comfort.

Material Matters: Lens and Frame Quality

The durability and safety of sunglasses also depend on the quality of the materials used. Optical-grade materials, such as polycarbonate or Trivex lenses, are highly impact-resistant and offer clearer vision compared to the plastic lenses found in many inexpensive models.

Frames also play a crucial role in the longevity and effectiveness of sunglasses. High-quality frames made from flexible, durable materials can withstand everyday wear and tear better than cheaper alternatives. Additionally, a well-fitting frame helps to block out peripheral light and offers better overall protection.

Style Shouldn’t Sacrifice Protection

At Johns Creek Eyecare, we believe that style and protection should go hand in hand. A wide variety of high-quality sunglasses are available that meet protective standards without compromising on style. From classic aviators to trendy oversized frames, there is a protective pair of sunglasses to suit every taste.
