Summer is in full swing and getting outdoors to enjoy the weather is a must. Protecting your eyes from Ultraviolet light is just as important as using sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. If you are going to the lake for fun in the sun, going to a ball game, or just lounging by the pool or in the backyard, don’t forget a quality pair of sunglasses to maximize your vision and protect your eyes from the sun’s damaging rays.

Not all sunglasses are created equal. There are many sunglasses available that do not offer UV protection. The lenses are simply tinted, or there is a coating that is on the lens that is easily removed after several cleanings or wear. A good quality pair of sunglasses will have the UV protection embedded in the lens. This gives maximum protection from the sun’s UV light rays.

Getting a pair of lenses polarized helps cut down on glare that is being reflected from the sun from various surfaces. This will make driving during the day easier, as glare is reduced from reflective surfaces of other vehicles. Polarization is also a must if you are out on the water, for fishing, or for boating. The glare from the surface of the water is reduced allowing more comfortable vision, reducing squinting, which can cause wrinkles, and allowing vision to be enhanced from the distractions of the reflected light.

Eyedentity Eyewear is proud to carry high quality sunglasses, such as Oakley, Maui Jim, and Bolle, among many others. Our quality eyewear has 100% UV light protection. We also offer lens polarization to give you the best vision possible. Enjoy the summer, but keep in mind to protect your vision while you are enjoying the outdoors.
