BUYING SUNGLASSES to protect youn eyes AN INFOGRAPHIC BY INSPIREDSHADES.COM THE HISTORY Where did sunglasses come from? THE FIRST SUNGLASSES were not intended to block out harmful sunlight, they were worn by Chinese Judges to conceal their eye expressions in court. IN PREHISTORIC AND HISTORIC TIME, Inuit peoples wore flattened walrus ivory "glasses," looking through narrow slits to block harmful reflected rays of the sun. TODAY MODERN SUNGLASSES with an emphasis on sun protection started selling in the 1930s TODAY 80% OF ADULTS 1930'S understand the importance of protecting their eyes from UV Rays.

LENS COLORS The tint or shade of the lens isn't indicative of the amount of UV Protection. Even clear lenses can offer 100% UV protection. Tinted lenses can reduce brightness, but they don't specifically block out UV rays or harsh glares. RED LENSES BROWN LENSES Good in hazy sun, enhances con- trast. Good for high-glare sports such as skiing, fishing or sailing. Excellent depth perception in low light. Contrasts objects against blue or green backgrounds. Good for skiing and hunting. GREEN LENSES Allows true color perception and good contrast in bright light. Reduces eye strain in bright light. MIRRORED LENSES MIRRORED FINISHES ON LENSES DO REDUCE the amount of visible light entering your eyes, but don't assume they will fully protect you against UV radiation. It is simply a coating applied to the lense to reduce light, not to offer UV protection. WHAT SUNGLASSES CAN'T DO Sunglasses cannot protect your eyes from certain intense light sources. Arc welding, tanning lights, snowfields, or gazing directly at the sun, especially during a solar eclipse, for example, can severely damage your eyes. START SHOPPING NOW TO PROTECT YOUR EYES
