Facts about Polarized Sunglasses and Exposure to UV Rays

Proper sun protection for your eyes:

• Not all sunglasses block 100 percent of UV rays. The lens material and coatings applied to the lens determine the amount of UV protection sunglasses provide, not the color and darkness of a sunglass tint. Polycarbonate plastic sunglass lenses absorb essentially all UV radiation, with the added advantage of extreme impact resistance.
• Different tints can help you see better in certain conditions and reduce glare and reflections by changing the quantity and quality of light entering the eye, but the color and darkness the tint of the sunglasses lens do not necessarily indicate the UV protection provided.
• Wear sunglasses even when you're in the shade. Your eyes will still be exposed to UV rays reflected from water, pavement, snow, sand, windshields and other surfaces.
• Wear sunglasses in winter. Snow reflects more UV rays than most other surfaces. Take care of your eyes when you ski, snowboard, snow-shoe, snowmobile, shovel or any other outdoor winter activity.
• UV light can go right through clouds even when it is overcast.
• The sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 2 pm so be sure to wear proper sunglasses especially during those hours.
• UV can reach the eyes from the sides and top of sunglasses, even with lenses that absorb all UV radiation. Polarized sunglasses with large, wrap-around style, sport wrap frames are good for peripheral protection.

Advantages of Polarized Sunglasses

Good quality, proper fitting, UV-protective sunglasses with polarized lenses in combination with other features can enhance your outdoor activities and sport experiences, whether you enjoy boating, fishing, in-line skating, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, kayaking, waterskiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, sailing, driving or just relaxing.

Too much unprotected exposure to UV radiation can cause “photokeratitis” – a sunburn of the eye. The symptoms are temporary eye redness,uncomfortableness, light sensitivity and tearfulness. Fortunately, these symptoms are usually short-lived, although long periods of UV radiation exposure can sometimes cause permanent eye damage. "Snow blindness" is the common term for severe photokeratitis, which causes temporary vision loss usually lasting 24-48 hours.

Randolph Eyewear has a number of lens options according to your exact needs.  Randolph Eyewear has a grey and tan polarized option, as well as flash mirror, polycarbonate lenses, and more.

Improve Visibility with Randolph Eyewear Ranger Collection - Yellow Lenses increase Contrast

www.randolpheyewear.com

My eyes often feel tired after staring at the computer all day. So I'm wondering if glasses designed for computer use actually help (for example, those yellow-tinted glasses I've seen on Randolph Eyewear. They seem pricey and I'm a little skeptical about all the claims, but I also want to protect my vision. 

Vision problems are unfortunately one of the hazards of too much screen time. In fact, theVision Council found that 70 percent of US adults in one survey reported having some kind of digital eye strain (strained, dry, or red eyes; blurred vision; headaches; back pain; neck pain; or general fatigue) as a result of using digital devices for hours at a time.P

We've previously noted several ways to prevent or reduce eyestrain, including using the 20-20-20 rule to regularly give your eyes a break and ergonomically optimizing your workstation. In addition to those essential tweaks, computer eyewear could also alleviate or prevent digital eyestrain, depending on your situation. I talked to several eye health experts to find out more about these special glasses, and also did a two-week trial comparing new specially-coated glasses with older ones. Here's what I learned.

P

Computer glasses are special-purpose eyeglasses meant to optimize your eyesight when you're looking at digital screens. They're designed to: reduce glare (a major cause of eyestrain), increase contrast, and maximize what you see through the lenses—making it easier to look at a screen for longer periods of time. P

Validating my experience, Dr. Jeffrey Anshel, an optometrist and computer vision consultant (who was also the technical adviser for Gunnar Optiks), points out that when it comes to coatings, you have two general choices: old and new. Older ones do peel and "craze," resulting in unsightly cracks, while newer ones wear very well and have a one-year warranty. So when you're at the eye doctor, you'll want to ask for the latest coating—and perhaps buy new glasses even if your prescription hasn't changed in the last few years, because coatings definitely have improved.PAnti-reflective (AR) coating: Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare bouncing off screens and from light sources. Specially-designed Randolph Ranger Sporting Eyewear offers these coatings and prescription glasses can get anti-reflective coatings as well. 

Color tints: Some computer glasses also have an unmistakable (usually yellow) tint designed to increase the contrast on the screen and filter out the uncomfortable/harsh light spectrums so your eye muscles relax. 

P

The Yellow lenses found on Randolph Eyewear are perfect for sitting in front of the computer for long amounts of time, and perfect for dusk-night driving.  These glasses increase contrast and make it safer for you to be on the road.  They are also perfect for sporting activities like hunting, hiking, fishing, biking, and anything else you might be doing ourdoors.  Randolph Eyewear makes is safer for your eyes all day and transitioning into the night.

"Rose" colored lenses - FACTS

www.randolpheyewear.com

Rose Lenses

• Rose lenses are quite different from red lenses. Though they appear to be light red or pink, rose lenses are designed to let more light in and are typically best for medium to low light conditions. These lenses are often used for skiing and snowboarding goggles and glasses because they increase contrast with the snow and provide better vision for overcast and stormy days. Unlike red lenses, rose -- sometimes called vermilion -- lenses are not suitable for bright, sunny weather where you'll be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, because they allow a higher VLT. According to the Vision Council, an eyewear industry association, some people like rose lenses best for comfortable, prolonged wear.

Yellow lenses are the choice of many athletes and professionals working outdoors. They absorb blue and ultraviolet (UV) light and offer depth and contrast in conditions that are otherwise stressful on your eyes.

Depth Perception

• Yellow lenses offer the greatest depth perception and contrast because they filter out blue light. This is important for sports such as hunting and skeet shooting because yellow lenses filter the blue light of the sky, allowing you to see the smallest movement.

Ultraviolet Light Absorption

• Amber or yellow lenses provide sharpness and contrast in hazy light conditions because they absorb UV and blue light making everything seem brighter. This makes them good for working around dawn or dusk and on overcast or foggy days.

Decrease Eye Fatigue

• If you do a lot of driving, yellow lenses helps decrease fatigue because they add contrast to your vision. Yellow lenses also decrease fatigue when driving in the evening because they increase visual clarity. This is why bikers and pilots often use yellow lenses.

In 2011, Bastian launched two new collaborations: with Randolph Eyewear under the name Michael Bastian for Randolph Engineering, and with Brazilian brand Havaianas. Bastian created a collection of 15 variations on current and vintage Randolph Eyewear models for the label. For Havaianas, Bastian created 4 limited edition styles under the name Havaianas + Michael Bastian.^[4]

In 2013, Bastian was again nominated for CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year, but the award eventually went to Thom Browne.
