UV Protection for Children

Children need protection from UV rays, even more than adults do.

Up until age 14, your child's eyes are three times more vulnerable to UV damage than an adult's. Extra protection is essential in the form of 100% UV blocking sunglasses from Maycock Eyecare.

Important Medical Facts About Kids and the Sun

• Damage to the eye is cumulative, increasing from year to year. So, the earlier children start protecting their eyes, the better.
• Today's children will be exposed to more cumulative UV radiation in their lifetime than any previous generation. Approximately 50% of a person's total lifetime UV radiation exposure occurs before age 18.
• Exposure to sunlight at an early age appears to be the critical factor in the development of eye cancer. This risk is much more serious when there have been a few episodes of acute sunburn.

The three basic steps that all of us can take to negate the long-term hazards of UV radiation are to wear sunglasses, hats, and skin protection.

At last, kids have their own line of sunglasses as Ray-Ban announces the birth of Ray-Ban Junior, the first children’s sunglasses collection with the world-renowned Ray-Ban dependability, genuineness and individuality. Child-size versions of the most popular Ray-Ban styles were created with kid-friendly features and colours.

The lenses in Ray-Ban Junior are all made in polycarbonate, an advanced material chosen for its extremely hard-wearing characteristics, ideal for standing up to the wear-and-tear by young sunglass wearers. After conducting studies and tests on younger face shapes, Ray-Ban designed sporty, wrap designs, with carefully crafted nose-pads to ensure maximum comfort.
