As we continue reduce the ozone layer the effects of UV rays on the mucus membranes continue to increase. Our parents didn’t think about SPF clothing or Sunscreen, they went out with oil in the hottest part of the day without another thought. People during thier time contracted Cancer and they’re deaths were described as “consumption” . The first sunglasses did little to protect the wearer and were more designed for fashion. And Sunscreen was not even a consideration.
Times have changed and now we know that UV rays can cause irreversible damage to both the skin and eyes. And we now have the technology to protect both. Experts suggest that we use Sunscreen with at least a SPF (sun protection factor) of 35 or more. And it has been proven that sunglasses without UV protection can lead to Macular Degeneration. So it is important to pick Sunglasses that have 100% AVA and AVB protection.
