Why UV Protection Matters
Sunglasses aren't just about style; they are essential health equipment. Understanding UV protection helps you make informed choices for your eye safety.
What is UV400?
UV400 protection means the lenses block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. This is the gold standard for sunglasses. All Luxaris lenses offer UV400 protection to shield your eyes from long-term sun damage.
Polarized vs. Non-Polarized
Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks intense reflected light (glare). They are ideal for driving, water sports, and snowy conditions. Non-polarized lenses reduce overall brightness but don't eliminate glare.
The Dangers of UV Exposure
Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye issues. Wearing quality sunglasses is the best defense against these risks.
