July is UV Safety Month and the perfect time to ensure that your sunglasses will protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.  Sunglasses are more than a fashion statement and can help prevent photokeratitis or the development of cataracts and macular degeneration. 

Not all sunglasses can guard your eyes from harmful UV rays, make sure your lenses are rated with a UV400 rating or higher.  The UV400 rating means that the lenses will block 99% or more of the light ray wavelengths up to 400nm.

While blocking out the blue light most sunglasses also block out the other light spectrum colors affecting the way you see your surroundings and reducing contrast.  The ImproVision PROSHIELD comfort filters are designed to selectively block out harmful UVA/UVB rays while maintaining all spectral colors and enabling excellent color and contrast vision.  

This summer make protecting your eyes a priority while you are enjoying your favorite outdoor activities!  Whether you are enjoying time on the beach or a leisurely hike through the hills the ImproVision PROSHIELD glasses are the perfect solution for safeguarding your vision.
