PERFECT PROTECTION
ALSO FOR KIDS EYES
CHILDREN’S EYES HAVE LARGER PUPILS AND CLEARER LENSES. THAT’S WHY ABOUT 70 PERCENT MORE UV RADIATI-
ON HITS THE RETINA. HIGH-GRADE SUNGLASSES ARE THEREFORE A MUST PARTICULARLY FOR KIDS.
“Be sure to put on some lotion,” say parents when their kids are playing outside, doing sports and having fun. While the need to use sun protection
is undisputed, the need to protect more than just the skin is often ignored. Too many kids are still wearing no sunglasses at all or just cheap ones
without sufficient UV protection. Yet the exposure of a child’s retina to UV light is much heavier than that of adults. Acute, intense solar radiation
– such as in sand or water, on snow or asphalt – may provoke inflammatory reactions or even cause permanent eye damage. That’s why ALPINA’S
KIDS glasses are equipped with the same high-grade UV protection technologies as the models for adults. By the way: In some Australian schools,
wearing of sunglasses in schoolyards has been made mandatory.
