Why it is important to wear high quality sunglasses

Sunglasses do not only serve as a fashion statement, but is also critical to the health of your eyes.

Up to 20% of skin cancers occur in and around the eye.

90% of the aging of the face is sun related. Harsh glare causes constant squinting.

The forming of cataracts and the development of Macular degeneration is connected to UV exposure.

Your eyes are 10% more sensitive to UV rays than your skin.

Dryness of the eyes can be exacerbated by sunlight, wind and constant squinting.

Whilst driving, glare from the sun and reflected off the road, buildings and water can greatly interfere with your ability to see and react to other vehicles and road hazards.

Certain sports require enhanced depth perception, for performance but also for safety, and glare reduces this.

It is recommended to wear premium, polarised sunglasses to remove glare and offer the ultimate eye protection.
