How do sunglasses protect against eye problems?

UV protection
Sunglasses protect the eyes from UV rays that can damage the retina and increase the risk of eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. It is therefore important to choose sunglasses with documented 100% UV protection, which blocks both UVA and UVB rays.

Optimal fit and lens quality
For effective protection, sunglasses should have a tight fit, covering all areas around the eye. Ill-fitting sunglasses can leave unprotected side edges where harmful rays can penetrate. Properly fitted lenses also reduce glare and increase comfort during prolonged wear.

Polarized lenses
Sunglasses with polarized lenses reduce glare caused by reflective surfaces such as water, snow and asphalt. This technology ensures clear and comfortable vision, which is especially important during leisure activities and sports.
