Every day – under sunny or cloudy skies and despite the season – all of us are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. And, we may not even realize it because, unlike visible sunlight, UV radiation is invisible to the eye. Yet few people realize that their eyes are just as vulnerable and need protection just as much – perhaps even more.
Research indicates that Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays may contribute to short-term vision impairment and potentially serious age-related conditions or diseases of the eye, including cataracts. These conditions and diseases can damage your eyes and lead to serious eye conditions such as macular degeneration (the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 years old.)
Whether you’re capturing life’s special moments or simply going about your daily routine, Essilor® Transitions® lenses help preserve and protect the health of your eyes so you can see better now – and years from now.
