Shades for All Seasons

San Diego, CA, December 16, 2007 --(PR.com)-- All children must begin wearing sunglasses early and they must wear polycarbonate lenses that block 100% UVA&UVB rays. The depletion of the ozone layer has become a serious problem for us all, but especially for our young. Quality sunwear is indeed needed all year round. Though the UV index is highest on cloudless days, up to 80 percent of UV radiation can penetrate thru clouds. Other factors that affect the amount of UV which will actually reach our eyes include: reflections off our earth's surface, such as earth and grass; water, from oceans to wet roads; sand, from beaches; as well as snow.

Children do indeed benefit from wearing sunglasses in the winter, whether it is in full sun, or in mid snowstorms. Ultraviolet radiation plays a role in the development of various ocular disorders, so early protection is important. Eye problems which are associated to UV exposure include, but are not limited to: photokeratitis, cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium, as well as cancer around the eyelids.
