It is important to start early in protecting the human eye from excessive sunlight. Therefore, parents should urge children, even young ones, to wear sunglasses. Remember, radiation effects are long term and accumulative. Start the protection early in life to help prevent cataracts and sun damage.

I think that parents understand the importance of 100% UVA&UVB protection, but they need to know that lenses must be polycarbonate, and not plastic.

I prescribe Eyes Cream Shades for all my younger patients because you're never to young for protection from the sun.

All kids need to be wearing polycarbonate lenses in their sunwear. We have carried the Eyes Cream Shades line virtually from when they began.

Ultraviolet radiation has been implicated in cataract formation and macular degeneration. It is estimated that 80% of a child’s lifetime sun exposure occurs before the age 18. Sunglasses are useless unless children wear them. Well fitting, good quality and comfortable children’s sunwear should be an absolute priority to reduce the ocular effects of ultraviolet radiation later in life.

All children must begin wearing sunglasses early and must wear polycarbonate lenses which are virtually shatterproof.

Kid tested... Mother approved! My kids love to wear Eyes Cream Shades and I love the fact that they are protecting their eyes!
