Available in a variety of color options, Xperio UV polarized prescription sunglasses provide maximum UV protection, easy cleanability, and exceptional scratch resistance for the best vision under the sun.

Xperio UV™ polarized sun lenses provide sharp outdoor color perception all while protecting your eyes with a superior quality lens. A tough, scratch-resistant coating is applied to both sides of the lens, reducing damage to the surface of the lens.

Just because a pair of glasses is advertised as polarized doesn't mean they can block UV rays. Always prioritize sunglasses with UV-blocking properties. The ability to prevent glares is great, but the ability to prevent permanent damage to the eyes is even better.

They are two completely different things. While UV protection sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful sun rays, polarized lenses reduce the glare that causes you to squint in the sunlight.

While the goal of UV-blocking lenses is to protect your eyes, the point of polarized lenses is to remove glare so you can see more clearly and easily. These lenses are a favorite among water sports enthusiasts, video gamers, and anyone who dislikes day-to-day glare.

To help protect your skin from the sun, dermatologists recommend wearing the following items:

• Lightweight and long-sleeved shirts and pants. It's important to cover up as much of your skin as possible when spending time outdoors.
• Sunglasses with UV protection.
• A wide-brimmed hat.
• Shoes that cover your feet.

The answer lies within the numbered rating, and the highest UV protection rating offered is UV 400. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, you should choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and UV 400-protected sunglasses do this.

UV400 sunglasses feature lenses which are capable of filtering out between 99% and 100% of UVA/B rays. This means they are able to appropriately protect your eyes, blocking wavelengths up to 400 nanometres.

Just because a pair of glasses is advertised as polarized doesn't mean they can block UV rays. Always prioritize sunglasses with UV-blocking properties. The ability to prevent glares is great, but the ability to prevent permanent damage to the eyes is even better.

Polarization has nothing to do with UV light absorption, but many polarized lenses are now combined with a UV-blocking substance. Check the label to make sure the lenses provide maximum UV protection. The same goes for lens color and tint, lens darkness, and mirror coating.

The Cancer Council in Australia suggests that darker colors absorb UV rays, which helps block them from your skin. That's why dark blue, black, and dark red are the best colors for sun protection compared to white or pastel colors of the same fabric.

Do I need a sunscreen with my UPF clothes? Since UPF clothing protects from 98% of the sun's rays, there is no reason to put sunscreen underneath the UV clothing. If you prefer to apply sunscreen underneath, we recommend to apply it 15 minutes before you wear your UV protective clothing to prevent staining.
