UV Protection? Who Cares!

Police SunglassesIn March this year I underwent spinal surgery.  Two months previous I started with a pain down my leg which my doctor told me was caused by a slipped disc pressing on the nerves in my spine.  A slipped disc! I thought, isn’t that something old people get? but I’m only 34.  I had heard the old saying ‘bend with your knees and not with your back’ but whilst growing up getting a bad back was something that seemed a lifetime away.  Well, not taking care of my back through my younger years had caught up with me and has made me realise I’m not invincible after all and inevitably parts of my body will start to break down if I don’t take steps to protect them now. 

 

I know in the main our customers think in the exact same way I did.  We get endless questions about “which colours do you have in stock?” and “do you stock this particular designer?”. But I can’t recall many ever asking “what level of UV protection do your sunglasses offer?” or “do those sunglasses offer UVA or UVB protection?”.  It seems that the issue of protecting your eyes is just an after thought when purchasing sunglasses.

 

Sunglasses are the obvious choice when looking to make your time outside in the sun more comfortable, whilst also providing you with essential protection from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays.  Over exposure to UV rays can cause damage to the surface of the eye as well as the internal structure.  Often contributing to cataracts and other aspects of degeneration in later life.  But how do you know what to look for when choosing the right level of eye protection.  Fortunately, when buying from Designed Eyewear this is something you need not concern yourself with.  We ensure that all of our sunglasses conform to European Standards.

 

In addition to these standards some of our sunglasses offer additional features you can choose from to give you even extra eye protection.

 

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses reduces polarization, the reflective glare which occurs when sunlight is reflected off shiny surfaces such as glass, water or snow.  Polarized lenses are particularly useful to those who who enjoy water sports, winter sports or driving.

 

Gradient Lenses

Gradient lenses are shaded from the top to the bottom or from the top and bottom to the middle.  They allow the wearer to see clearly below whilst cutting the suns glare from above. Great for driving where looking straight ahead is important.

 

Mirrored Lenses

Mirrored lenses are covered by a thin layer of a metallic reflective coatings which can reduce the amount of visible light which passes through the lens.  Sometimes a mirrored lens is paired with a wraparound frame to offer even more protection around the eyes.

 

Impact & Scratch Resistant Lenses

All sunglasses must meet minimum standards regarding impact resistance but no lens is fully shatter proof.  Polycarbonate lenses offer improved shatter proof protection and are usually featured in our sports sunglasses.  These lenses are usually combined with a scratch resistant coating for added safety.

 

So in response to the question in the title ‘UV protection, who cares?’ the answer is we do, we may even care more about your eyes than you do!  Which is why before we dispatch your sunglasses we check every pair for imperfections.  We look for any damage or weaknesses as well ensuring a uniform tint, making sure the lenses do not move, curve, sway or distort which could indicate a flaw. And for those of you who were wondering I am well on the way to recovery following my surgery 🙂
