Unveiling the Shield: UV Protection in Eyewear

The Role of UV Protection in Eyewear

1. UV400 Protection:

UV400 lenses block all light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nanometers, which covers all UVA and UVB rays, offering complete protection.

2. Preventing Eye Diseases:

Prolonged UV exposure can contribute to cataracts and macular degeneration. UV protective lenses are essential in preventing these conditions.

3. All-Season Protection:

UV protection is not just for sunny days. Harmful UV rays can penetrate clouds, making protection essential year-round.
