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.

Tips for Choosing UV-Blocking Sunglasses:

  1. Look for labels that clearly state 100% UV protection or UV400.

  2. Choose lenses that cover the eyes fully, including wrap-around styles for maximum protection.

  3. Don’t forget your face shape—oversized frames or aviators not only look great but also block more rays.
