Sunglasses
The sunlight is responsible for our visual perception but in parallel it contains ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is absorbed from the front surfaces of the eye (i.e the cornea and crystalline lens) and is possible to cause pathological conditions such as photokeratitis, pterygium and cataract.
Research has shown that UV radiation forms on of the main reasons for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) which is the main cause of blindness in the Western world! Optical House practises at Heraklion and Rhodes have a wide range of sunglasses from the best collections of well known internationally companies eg DITA eyewear, Thierry Lasry, ic!berlin, Lindberg, Maui Jim, Vuarnet etc ... with lenses that have certificates from the European Community (CE).
