Take the Extra Step with "Sun Glasses"

The sun's rays, though beautiful and warming, can also be harmful to your skin and your eyes. Not only can the rays lead to eye disease, but the sun's glare can also cause distractions while driving, working, and participating in sports. Along with sunscreen, sunglasses are the most vital element for shielding yourself from the sun.

Sunglasses block UV radiation and protect vital parts of the eye. By regularly wearing shades, you can reduce the UV rays that reach your cornea. Lucky for you, shopping for sunglasses online is easier than ever at FramesDirect.com. Sun shades are sold at most retail outlets, but for the best selection, you should shop online.

Also, if you are embarking on a sport like skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, crew rowing, boating or fishing, you'll need top-quality, impact-resistant, high-end sunglasses that your local drugstore just may not carry. The best eye protection for these activities are going to be designed by a reputable manufacturer like Oakley, Maui Jim, or Costa, not some throwaway brand you can pick up in the local drugstore. And remember, always look for the 100% UV protection label and impact-resistant lenses.
