Counterfeit sunglasses[and prescription glasses] expose eyes and vision to risks due to non-compliant lenses, and they can also bring on devastating allergic reactions to the skin caused by the materials used to make the frames,” Tabacchi explained.

A growing number of people are seeing the light and finding sunglasses an ideal combination of function and fashion. Research has shown that people today are more aware than ever of the need to protect theireyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

A major common misconception about sunwear is that the darker the sun lens the more protection provided. This is not true.  Choosing a lighter or darker lens sunglass is simply a matter of personal choice and eye comfort.  The real issue is protection from UV  (ultra-violet) rays. Always choose sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection.

Polarized lenses are a great feature. They are the only lenses that eliminate glare. All other sun lenses simply darken glare.
