| It is important to protect the eyes from the
sun’s harmful rays by wearing sunglasses.
Most of us know that ultraviolet rays cause sunburn, blistering
and potentially skin cancer, so we sensibly cover ourselves
with suntan lotion. But we are not always so careful about
protecting our eyes with the right kind of sunglasses. |
|
| Our eyes naturally give a small amount of
protection but exposure to bright sunlight can damage the
eye without adequate protection. That's where City Opticians
wide range of Designer Sunglasses come in. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
We carry a variety of leading brands of sunglasses that give
100% UV protection including Chanel, Gucci, Oakley, Maui Jim,
Dolce&Gabbana and Rayban.
You can be sure to find a pair for any pursuit, whether they
are for the beach, sports, driving or just as the latest accessory. |

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation consists of invisible
rays from the sun. The three bands of UV light are: - |
|
| |
 |
UVA rays are primarily absorbed within the
lens of the eye. |
|
|
UVB rays are the ones that burn the skin and can harm
the eyes. When combined with cold, wind and snow, UVB has
the potential to cause snow blindness, a temporary but
painful condition of the cornea of the eye. |
|
| |
Long term exposure to the sun’s invisible rays
can also accelerate ageing of the macula, the most sensitive
part of the retina on which light rays are focused. Over
a period of time, it may also cause cataracts, a gradual
clouding of the lens of the eye. The cells in your eyes,
unlike those in your skin, do not have the ability to regenerate.
Thus, when you expose your eyes to UV rays, you put yourself
at risk of painful diseases that may leave you partially
or completely blind in the future. |
|
|
UVC rays are normally absorbed in the atmosphere and
therefore unable to reach the earth’s surface. |

Polarised light is reflected from flat surfaces
such as roads or smooth water. Polarised sunglasses are
specially manufactured to substantially reduce this type
of light reaching the eye which results in a dramatic reduction
in Glare. Polarised sunglasses are particularly beneficial
for activities such as water sports,skiing,golfing and
cycling because of the elimination of glare giving a clearer
view. They are also recommended for driving during day
or night conditions to eliminate glare from sunlight and
vehicle headlamps. |
|
| |
We have a large selection of polarized sunglasses
from Oakley and Maui Jim. Both manufacturers have the polarization
technology to give you with the best solution to glare,
offering you exceptional clarity, visual comfort and contrast’. |
