chrome hearts sunglasses are much more than an accessory

Do your kids wear sunglasses? I’ll admit, I have always thought of children’s sunglasses as a fun accessory. Sort of like hair bows for little girls, I would grab up a pair of cute shades in a heartbeat to give my boys that extra cute factor (like they needed it, ahem). But the fact is, the sun can damage the eyes just like it can damage the skin, which means chrome hearts sunglasses are much more than an accessory.
Last week I had the chance to chat with some folks from the Vision council and learned quite a bit about protecting my children’s eyes. The top three reasons for me were:
Children receive three times the annual sun exposure of adults and research shows that their young eyes are especially susceptible to UV-related harm.
Eye color – Some studies suggest that blue eyes are at more risk for UV damage than brown eyes. The protective pigment melanin may be the key reason since blue irises have less of it.
Geography – Location can have an effect on UV levels.
Of my two boys, one of them has crystal blue eyes and we live in Raleigh, NC which surprised me as being #17 on the list of cities with the most risk in terms of UV rays. Suffice it to say, I will be stepping up my game when it comes to sunglasses.
When purchasing sunglasses for you or your children, make sure they are comfortable and have both UVA/UVB protection. Or just choose from one of the awesome pairs I found for you.
