UV Rays: What You Can’t See Can Hurt You

Ultraviolet (UV) light doesn’t just age your skin—it can silently damage your eyes.
Exposing your eyes to UV rays over time can lead to:

  • Cataracts (clouding of the eye’s natural lens)

  • Pterygium (a tissue growth on the white of the eye)

  • Photokeratitis (a painful corneal sunburn)

  • Macular degeneration (vision loss)

  • Skin cancer on or around the eyelids

And if you wear contact lenses, your risk increases without proper UV protection. Sun, wind, particles, and light can worsen dryness and irritation—especially for those with sensitive eyes or dry eye disease.


🛡️ Protect Your Vision—And Your Vibe

👁️ Real UV Defense for Real Eyes:

  • Wear sunglasses that block 100% UVA & UVB rays

  • Choose wraparound styles to shield from wind, dust, and peripheral light

  • Avoid fake or cheap shades: dark lenses without certified UV protection can increase damage by dilating your pupils

  • Only buy from trusted optical retailers

  • Look for the CE mark or UV protection rating on the label

  • Use Category 3 or 4 lenses in high-glare environments (beaches, snow, mountains)


When you lift those shades to reveal your stunning summer look, let your eyes take center stage with makeup that’s as safe as it is chic.
