Are your glasses really UV protected? UV light can be really dangerous for the eyes. According to multiple studies, UV rays were linked to eye damage, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, pingueculae, pterygia, and photokeratitis, that can eventually lead to a temporary loss of vision. UV light can be broken into three wavelength ranges: UVA 315–400 nm UVB 280–315 nm UVC 100–280 nm Extreme UV 10 – 120 nm Most of the sunglasses claim to have UV 400, in other words, 100% protection against UV light.
