To paraphrase the American Optometric Association’s definition of Dry Eye Syndrome; Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when there is insufficient or poor quality of tears to nourish and moisten the eyes. The effects of this condition can cause symptoms such as redness, itching, burning or even blurred vision, to name a few.
The causes also noted by the American Optometric Association, can range from the taking of medications such as antihistamines or birth control pills to thyroid problems, or diabetes, or just the natural effects of aging. Other common current day eye strain, such staring at a computer screen for too long and failing to blink can cause dry eyes.
However, it is the environmental conditions where protection sunglasses may eliminate virtually all of the symptoms of Dry Eye. Those environmental conditions may be smoke, wind and airborne debris, or even a dry climate. That dry climate could also be an indoor one caused by excessive air conditioning.
Dry eye protection sunglasses have a removable facial cavity seal, which safely and comfortably encapsulates the eyes in their own environment by means of a lightweight, soft foam seal which blocks out a plethora of elements that irritate the eyes. This state of the art design not only blocks out wind, smoke, pollen, and other irritants, but has a patented top down ventilation system which keeps the eyes cool and moist, and the polycarbonate lenses free from fogging. Also, top light and side light, which often cause eye strain, is eliminated. The eyes have their own cocoon-like environment.
But the benefits do not end there. The state of the art lens technology of the polarized lens series adds over ninety nine percent of polarization, and one hundred percent of UV protection. This feature adds uncompromising clarity and acuity of vision. The lenses are also made of eight layers of dye cut polycarbonate material, which has maximum scratch resistance, and is durable and shatterproof.
And eye protection and safety doesn’t have to be bulky or ugly. Protective sunglasses come in a variety of styles, shapes and colors to fit all sizes and shapes of faces, for everyone who desires to protect and enhance their eyesight.
