I see many people stop by the drug store or supermarket to buy their sunglasses. Most of the sunglasses state they are 100{4422c3e9d6d956ffe17c4a9703f8867adf328a271a08c00de098d82d34d0cfb5} UV protection but that raises a few more important questions. Are they protecting you from UVA, UVB, UVC and also blue light? All of these UV rays are harmful to the eye and cause cataracts or retinal damage. Things you may want to look for are UVA and UVB protection or UV400. These symbols will protect your eyes from UV damage and cuts down only one type of glare (horizontal).
The new line that we are carrying, Maui Jim, provides protection and comfort that surpasses traditional drug store sun wear. Why? Because their patented PolarizedPlus®2 technology blocks all types of glare (horizontal, reflected and bounce back glare) and blocks 100{4422c3e9d6d956ffe17c4a9703f8867adf328a271a08c00de098d82d34d0cfb5} of UV rays and all blue light. Maui Jim enhances colour saturation and depth that provides better visual comfort for the wearer. This means less eye strain and the best visual experience.
