SAFETY IN THE SUN, THE VUA RNET WAY
THE DANGERS OF THE SUN
We all know the dangers of the sun, and it will always
remain a pastime for people to enjoy. What the sun can do to the eyes is extremely dangerous
and is often overlooked. UV rays are damaging to the retina (retinopathy), can
cause inflammation or premature aging of the cornea, cataracts (opacification
of the crystalline lens) and irreversible ocular lesions.
Infrared rays disperse the sun's heat and accentuate the
effects of UV on the crystalline lens. They have a drying effect on the cornea and lead to
visual fatigue.
The blue light component of the visible spectrum is not
easily brought into focus by the naked eye resulting in a blurred image and
visual fatigue. Moreover; blue light is responsible for the dazzling effects of
strong sunlight and can lead to errors in visual perception and judgment.
MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
A good pair of sunglasses is essential for enjoying the
sun.
The filtering qualities of the lenses must be considered
so that you have the correct type of lenses for your intended use; there is no
point in buying lenses designed for high altitude if you use them for everyday
urban life.
Consider your visual comfort as well; different colored
lenses will suit different people. The brown of the PX 2000 subtly enhances
contrast sensation, while the gray base of the PX 3000 gives more Consistent
color transmission. All Vuarnet lenses benefit of anti-reflective coating,
which eliminates annoying reflections, on the concave side of the lens, and
improves the transmission of light through it.

its capacity to absorb rays which are harmful to the eye; these rays are grouped
