Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause a range of harmful effects on your eyes. Prolonged exposure increases the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis, which is equivalent to a sunburn on the cornea. These conditions can lead to significant vision impairment or even permanent vision loss over time. With the ozone layer thinning once again, UV protection has become more crucial than ever.
Even on cloudy days, UV rays can penetrate and reach your eyes, making it essential to have consistent protection. Effective UV protection helps in maintaining long-term eye health and preventing the exacerbation of any pre-existing conditions.
How Shamir Glacier Plus Redefines UV Protection
Shamir Glacier Plus™ sets a new standard in UV protection by incorporating advanced technology that blocks harmful rays from both direct and reflected light. Unlike basic anti-reflective coatings, Shamir Glacier Plus not only shields your eyes from incoming UV rays but also prevents UV rays reflected off the rear lens surfaces from entering your eyes. This dual-action protection is effective in high indexes of 1.53 and up.
This innovative AR coating ensures that users are safeguarded against the complete spectrum of harmful UV rays, thereby reducing the risk of UV-induced eye conditions. Whether you are indoors or outdoors, Shamir Glacier Plus provides an enhanced layer of protection.
