Sunglasses are not toys, but serve an important function - protecting childrens' eyes.



Irvine, CA (PRWEB) November 1, 2006



Sunglasses are not "toys" or novelty items, but serve an important function - protecting childrens' eyes. Parents need to know that since UV damage is cumulative over time, children not wearing proper sunwear are susceptible to developing the following eye problems: photokeratitis, cataracts, macular degeneration, as well as skin cancer around the eyelids.



Sunglasses need to be worn all year round, and here is what to look for when purchasing sunglasses for your little ones: All lenses for kids need to provide at least 99% UVA&UVB protection and should be polycarbonate. Lense stickers that say "block uv" without specifying the percentage could be harmful. Dark lenses that do not provide adequate uv protection, allow more uv rays in, to harm a child's eyes.
