Sunglasses to Protect Your Eyes

By Tamanna Moores

Some Americans have to cope with bad headaches and even migraines. There are some that have to tolerate them incredibly frequently. If you are one of those luckless ones, you will know the torture that goes with having a migraine and how they tend to drive you into your own obscure world of pain - where you can not work well enough to operate, rest or play.

Whilst many people understand that a good quality pair of dark glasses can protect your from eye degeneration and blindness that frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun can cause. Very few people have appreciated that decent sunglasses can also prevent the bright UV light from triggering off a migraine attack, which can easily and cheaply improve the quality of your life.

A decent pair of sunglassess will halt out UVA and UVB rays at the same time. Even So, it turns out that High Energy Visible light or HEV light may also be a signficiant contributor to eye damage - especially in younger people. The evidence in this area is still a little scanty, but it might be worth looking for dark glasses that block out out this potential souce of eye damage too.

Its really important to note that dark glasses are not the same as UV-exclusive glasses. Check to make sure that your shades are made by a reputable manufacturer, and that theyre certified to block out UVA and UVB at least - if they dont do this, Its very possible that theyre worsening your exposure to harmful light by tricking your eyes into.

Since damage from UV exposure is cumulative, It is important to regularly wear a high-quality set of dark glasses, and to start young. If you teach your children at a young age about the value of wearing good shades, you may save their eyes from damage later " and besides, everyone knows how cool a good set of shades look.
