I’m excited to finally get our kid’s Rayban sunglasses in! We decided to bring them into our dispensary because the lens quality is exceptional and their frames are stylish and durable.
Rayban sunglasses for kids have 100{4422c3e9d6d956ffe17c4a9703f8867adf328a271a08c00de098d82d34d0cfb5} UVA/UVB/UVC protection. The lenses are made to the Australian UV protection standards which requires protection up to 420 nm in the light spectrum whereas North American standards only requires up to 380 nm. The reason why Australian standards are higher is because the sun is stronger in that area of the world.
Children get most of their lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18. It’s a great idea to get children used to wearing sunglasses while they’re young so they will have the habit of protecting their eyes, keeping them healthy for years to come.
