The Dangers of the Sun
We all know the dangers of the sun, and it will always
remain a pastime for people to enjoy. What the sun
can do to the eyes is extremely dangerous and is often
overlooked. UV rays are damaging to the retina (retinopathy),
can cause inflammation or premature aging of the cornea,
cataracts (opacification of the crystalline lens)
and irreversible ocular lesions. Infrared rays disperse
the sun's heat and accentuate the effects of UV on
the crystalline lens. They have a drying effect on
the cornea and elad to visual fatigue. The blue light
component of the visible spectrum is not easily brought
into focus by the naked eye resulting in a blurred
image and visual fatigue. Moreover, blue light is
responsible for the dazzling effects of strong sunlight
and can lead to errors in visual perception and judgement.
Making the Right Choice:
A good pair of sunglasses is essential for enjoying
the sun. The filtering qualities of the lenses must
be considered so that you have the correct type of
lenses for your intended use; there is no point in
buying lenses designed for high altitude if you use
them for everyday urban life. Consider your visual
comfort as well; different colored lenses will suit
different people. The brown of the PX 2000 subtly
enhances contrast sensibility, while the gray base
of the PX 3000 gives more consistent color transmission.
All Vuarnet lenses benefit from anti-reflective coating,
which eliminates annoying reflections off the concave
side of the lens, and improves the transmission of
light through it.
Injection
molded nylon is exceptionally robust and lightweight,
making it the ideal material for sports and performance
frames. The nylon collection comprises dynamic styling,
aerodynamic design and applied technology; essential
for sports in extreme sunlight conditions. Vuarnet
lenses filter out all harmful UVZ, UVB and UVC radiation.
Their multi-layered anti-reflective coatings eliminate
glare and bounce-back light. All Vuarnet lenses are
made from the finest glass, ground and polished on
both sides to ensure distortion free vision, and are
heat tempered for impact and scratch resistance. They
meet the most stringent quality control standards
and exceed all the performance criteria imposed by
European, American and Australian consumer legislation.
