The Importance of UV Protection for Your Eyes

You only have one set of eyes, and they deserve the best treatment and care!

At Punzal Vision we have a full selection of designer sunglasses and eyewear to keep your eyes protected and you looking stylish while out in the sun, at the beach, or watching your keiki at football practice!

We all know that spending prolonged periods of time in the direct sun can have consequences for the health of our skin and eyes!

The sun's powerful UV rays can be damaging to areas that are left exposed for extended periods of time. So, it's important to remember that small daily practices, like remembering to put on sunglasses when going outside, can prolong the health of your eyes and clarity of your vision.

UV protection is one of the best ways to keep your eyes protected. For optimal eye health it is recommended that the sunglasses you wear protect against 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays.

What’s the difference? UVA rays are longer waveforms that can penetrate deeper into the eye tissues and can cause significant damage. UVB rays are shorter waves that are more intense and can cause the effects of temporary blindness or whiteness in your vision when your eyes are over exposed.

Both UVA and UVB rays can contribute to more severe conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

The Importance of UV Protection for the Eyes

So it’s simple! Wear your favorite pair of UV protective sunglasses whenever going out in the sun, for an easy and stylish way to prolong and protect the health of one of your most important organs.

We use our eyes for everything, so making sure that they get the treatment that they deserve is a top priority!

Visit us at our Hokulei Village location in Lihue, HI and one of our friendly and professional staff will help you to pick out just the right size, shape, style, and brand of UV protective sunglasses for you!
