SUN FACTS: What makes Coolibar sunglasses different? They are polarized AND UV400, and each one does a different job. Polarized lenses cut glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, sand, and pavement, so you see more clearly and squint less. UV400 lenses block UVA and UVB rays, which is the real eye protection. The American Academy of Ophthalmology notes that polarization alone does not block UV, so having both in one pair is what makes the difference. Why it matters: UV exposure is linked to cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis (a sunburn on the surface of the eye). The Skin Cancer Foundation also notes that 5 to 10 percent of skin cancers occur on the eyelids. The solution: wear polarized, UV400 sunglasses every time you head outside, even on cloudy days. Pair them with a wide-brim hat and UPF 50+ clothing for sun protection you wear from head to toe. #SunFacts #SunAwareness #EyeProtection #UVProtection #PolarizedSunglasses
