Why UV Protection in Sunglasses Is Non-Negotiable
Protect your eyes in style with Decade Eyewear sunglasses. Learn why UV protection is essential and how our decade-inspired designs keep you safe and stylish.
Sunglasses are more than a fashion statement—they’re a critical tool for protecting your eyes. Harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can cause long-term damage to your eyes, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and even skin cancer around the eye area.
Why UV Protection Matters:
- Shield Against Harmful Rays:
UV-A and UV-B rays can penetrate your eyes and damage the cornea and lens. Sunglasses with full UV protection act as a barrier. - Prevent Long-Term Eye Damage:
Chronic exposure to UV rays increases the risk of cataracts and other eye disorders later in life. - Protect Your Skin:
The skin around your eyes is delicate. UV-blocking lenses reduce the risk of sun damage and wrinkles in this sensitive area.
