OVEREXPOSURE TO
UVA AND UVB RAYS
Did you know 3.2 million people every year go blind from eye conditions caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays? Though most of us understand the importance of protecting our skin from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays during outdoor activities like hiking and biking, most of us don't know that exposing our eyes to the sun's UVA and UVB rays can also be damaging.
PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM UV LIGHT
Reduce your exposure to dangerous rays with lenses for UVA and UVB protection. Xperio UV™ polarized prescription sunglasses provide ultimate UV protection and superior clarity, so you can get the comfort you need to enjoy every outdoor activity. Crizal® lenses block UV light and guard against the elements with glare, scratch, and smudge resistance.
PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM HARMFUL BLUE LIGHT
Not only do Transitions® lenses adjust to lighting conditions when frequently moving from indoors to outdoors, they also selectively filter Harmful Blue Light* from the sun and artificial sources.
