Every day we hear warnings and information about ultraviolet rays (UV) and how prolonged, unprotected exposure to UV rays can lead to skin damage.
That is why it is necessary to apply sunscreen when we are exposed to the sun for a long period of time. Sunscreens offer varying degrees of UV protection by filtering or blocking harmful, invisible UVA and UVB rays.
But did you know that the same serious approach to protecting your skin also applies to your eyes? UV protection is essential for eye health!
Eye exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause damage. Over time, UV radiation can contribute to serious eye conditions or age-related diseases. That is why wearing lenses with maximum UV protection is very important for the health of our eyes. UV rays are always present outdoors, regardless of the weather conditions (sunny or cloudy days).
As with sunscreen, sunglasses have 100% UV protection in the mass of organic lens material, while prescription lenses, made of CR-39 material, do not have UV protection at a high level (up to 360 nm or 94%), so we recommend a special finishing Remuve. The finishing of Remuve is not visible to the naked eye, especially the yellow or blue pigments are not visible after treating the CR-39 lens by immersion in a heated liquid to block UV radiation. With POL optic Remuve protection, the CR-39 lens is completely transparent and will provide 100% UV protection.
