To be really well protected against solar radiation, how harmful it can be for our eyes, we will tell you what the most common mistakes are and what we must take into account so as not to commit them <\/em> . Keep reading!<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sun protection awareness<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The first mistake, and one that we most commonly make, is not wearing sunglasses <\/b> l. Being aware of the damage that UV rays produce in our eyes is essential. It is a cumulative and permanent damage, which can seriously affect tissues. We must all protect our eyes from the sun, but especially those who spend many hours outdoors because they are logically more exposed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Dubious purchases<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n

If we have already become aware of the need to use sunglasses for the care of our long-term visual health, then it is time to buy our pair of glasses. But, here we usually find another possible fault. Many times we believe that it is enough to use any pair of glasses. However, it is recommended that you buy your glasses in specialist places, <\/b> to be sure that they have been certified and that their visual quality and protection are assured.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In addition to the previous point, we recommend that when you buy protective glasses always look for the \u201cCE<\/b>\u201d mark on them. This distinctive indicates that the glasses comply with a series of regulations and gives us peace of mind regarding their quality. In addition, you can find the marking on the lenses above the filter level in accordance with the EN172 standard (for example 5-1.7<\/i><\/b> clear filter, 5-2.5, 5-3.1<\/b> dark, etc.) that you should choose depending on the level of exposure to UV rays. You can click to watch the following video on how to choose the right sunscreen.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The activity, decisive for the choice of your sunglasses<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It often happens that we do not take into account that there are different protection needs in relation to the different activities <\/b> to be carried out. Our sunglasses must respond to these<\/b>, for example, from the filter level (since radiation levels can vary) to the frame design, also important if we need it to be more enveloping or that wears side protectors such as the BRAVE SOLAR and FEVER SOLAR<\/a> for greater closure and protection of the eyes and the delicate skin around it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Lack of knowledge about the types of sun lenses<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Knowing the different types of sun protection glasses will help you choose the model that best suits you and your needs. Did you know that not all sunglasses lenses are the same? They exist with polarized lenses (special to reduce the annoying reflections produced by the sun on surfaces such as the sea, road, etc.), photochromic (they self-lighten or darken in relation to the amount of sunlight they receive, ideal if we are on the move between light and dark areas), mirrored, with colored lenses.<\/p>\r\n

Sun protection for the little ones<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

We must bear in mind that children are more sensitive and that they also require attention, for this reason, in the care against solar radiation. It happens that the lens of a child lets a higher percentage of UV rays pass to the retina than in an adult. This is true from early childhood to even the age of 16. Therefore, it is an opportunity to start building healthy habits from a young age.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

When to wear sun protection glasses?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The answer is: there is no particular season, we must protect ourselves from the sun all year round. Radiation is permanent, what varies is its intensity and the time we spend outdoors exposed to it. After the summer months and intense sun, we must not lower our guard. To take into account in winter, if we practice snow sports or are in contact with it, we must be extremely careful since the sun’s rays are reflected on the snow and its strength intensifies.<\/p>\r\n

Vision is one of the most important senses, let’s take active action in the care and protection of our eyes<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
