Sport Your Shades

Wearing sunglasses outdoors, regardless of the season, reduces your risk of developing cataracts and damaging the sensitive skin around your eyes.

The sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause damage on sunny and cloudy days and reflect off water, snow and concrete surfaces.

Most sunglasses sold in the United States block both UVA and UVB rays. Wrap-around models offer the best protection.
