UV, the culprit of inducing eye diseasesIn recent years, studies have shown that the number of cases of eye diseases caused by ultraviolet rays has increased year by year and tends to be younger.
If overexposure to ultraviolet rays, it is easy to induce a variety of eye diseases such as palpebral fissures, cataracts, macular degeneration, acute keratitis, and pterygium; Secondly, ultraviolet rays are more harmful to children's eyes than adults through layers of penetration directly to the fundus, causing irreversible damage. Another data shows that 90% of skin cancers occur above the neck in the presence of intense UV rays, and up to 10% of them are caused by the eyelid area.

Resist UV rays and stop "eye age" this summer: Bright Spot professional optometrist interviews skin with age, eyes with age. Do you notice that your eyes are being exposed to the sun without protection and are experiencing irreversible damage? How much do you know about sun protection for your eyes? Are the sunglasses you are wearing right now really qualified? Aili You, Senior Optometrist of LensCraftersMay 16, 2016 LensCrafters invited industry professionals to gather in the store to experience the "520 Professional Optometry" service and have in-depth exchanges with professional optometrists.
LensCrafters Bright Visioners Shanghai IFC Store Optometrist Supervisor You Aili answered our most frequently asked questions about eye sun protection: Question 1: How harmful are UV rays to the eyes? Alie You: UV-A is the culprit of cataracts, and UV-B can cause eye cancers and corneal lesions. Long-term intense ultraviolet radiation will cause excessive oxygen radicals and derivatives to be produced in the eye, making the lens cloudy and opaque, thereby inducing irreversible damage such as cataracts.
Q2: How to choose the right sunglasses for me? Aly: There are three common misconceptions when buying sunglasses, and these are all things that I often encounter in my work. First, many customers mistakenly believe that dark sunglasses are more protective of their eyes. In fact, the darker the sunglasses, the more visible light is blocked, but the visible light and ultraviolet rays are not in the same range at all, on the contrary, dark sunglasses can cause the pupils to dilate, if at this time, the lenses do not have the ability to resist ultraviolet rays, then your eyes will absorb more ultraviolet rays and cause more damage.
Like sunscreen, sunglasses have a concept of UV value, which means that the lens can filter out ultraviolet rays. The best standard for sunglasses to protect against UV rays is UV400, which means that they can block all UV rays up to 400 nanometers, and when they reach this value, they can almost 100% protect against UV rays.
As a global high-end eyewear retail chain, LensCrafters has strict standards for all sunglasses to ensure that the UV protection index cares for every pair of eyes. Second, many customers who come to the LensSight store to try on sunglasses will say, "I want this color, this looks good."
But in fact, different lens colors will have different effects on light transmittance and other functions, and you must choose different colors according to your actual needs. Common brown lenses can effectively enhance color contrast; Green lenses block most of the blue light, ensuring better visual clarity and significant color contrast for a more "natural vision"; Grey lenses are suitable for motorists and are highly true to true colours.
The special polarized lens is more effective than ordinary tinted lenses in blocking the scattered light from the road surface, allowing the driver to see clearly, improving emergency response and making driving safer. The polarizer can also effectively filter out the reflection and glare on the water surface at the seaside, making the light softer and the scenery clearer. Third, you must pay attention to wearing comfort.
If you feel that you will experience headaches and noticeable indentations on the sides of your temples after wearing your sunglasses for a long time, it is because your sunglasses have not been professionally adjusted for comfort. It is recommended to come to Lenscrafts to buy sunglasses, and the professional staff will help you carefully adjust every detail according to your usage habits, face shape, wearing occasions, etc.
Q3: Why should I have regular eye health check-ups? Aly You: Actually, there are "invisible killers" lurking in our lives that will affect your eye health, and you may have certain health risks in your eyes before you realize it. For example, after wearing contact lenses for a long time, you always feel dry eyes? Unconsciously noticed a little more red blood on your eyes? These phenomena are all "signals" from the cornea.
At the bright spot, professional optometrists will conduct detailed consultations, ocular surface examinations, diopter examinations, etc., and are also equipped with many advanced professional instruments in the field of optometry.
At the same time, the optometrist will advise each customer on the right choice of glasses according to their own eye condition, and advise them to adjust their eye habits in time.
