ZEISS
ZEISS UVProtect Technology
UV radiation is always present. All year round, all day, in winter and summer, in sunny and even overcast conditions. UV rays have some positive effects, for example it triggers vitamin D production. Unfortunately, prolonged UV exposure also poses some serious health risks.
Doesn’t such a sensitive part of your body deserve UV protection?
UV light is all around us, all of the time
Although invisible, UV light can cause serious damage:
The skin, eyes and area around the eyes are very sensitive to UV radiation. Most of us know that UV radiation harms the skin, causing photo-ageing, wrinkles, and in severe cases, skin cancer. But long-term UV exposure may also be associated with various eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration and accelerated ageing of the tissue surrounding the eyes.
To protect the skin, all day, every day, we can wear moisturisers with SPF protection included. Other than tinted sunglasses, we really don’t have a lot of options when it comes to protecting our eyes against harmful UV rays.
