UV Safety Month


Sunglasses help protect your eyes by filtering light and blocking out the sun's UV rays. Not just any glasses will do the trick so you need to look for sunglasses that protect you from 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. Also look for sunglasses that have polarized lenses, this will help reduce the glare from the sun.
