Summer is here and now is the time to protect the only set of eyes you have from the sun’s harmful rays. Most people are aware of the dangerous effects ultraviolet (UV) rays have on their skin, but many people don’t realize the damaging effects these UV rays have on their eyes. UV radiation, whether from natural sunlight or artificial UV rays, can damage the eye’s surface tissues as well as the cornea and lens. UV radiation can burn the front surface of the eye, similar to sunburn on the skin. Extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays has been linked to eye damage, including cataracts, macular degeneration, pingueculae, pterygia and photokeratitis (snow blindness) that can cause temporary vision loss. Short of becoming nocturnal, the best way to protect your eyes is to wear sunglasses that block 100% of UV Rays. All of the sunglasses we carry block 100% of harmful UV Rays and right now we want to celebrate lifelong vision health by offering 20% off all sunglasses! Simply enter the coupon code “Ultraviolet” at the checkout and you will receive 20% off the shades of your choice. Be smart, you only get one set of eyes!

Spy Sunglasses – History

We are the ultimate free-spirited company, mixing assorted eclectic organic and technological elements of design with action sports and pop culture.

Today, this wayfaring, is kept alive by Hawaiians who still believe the sun can guide them in their journeys. At Maui Jim Sunglasses, we also take our cues from the sun. We’re experts in finding ways to reveal all the colors of a sun-centered lifestyle, while protecting you from the effects of harsh glare.

Although the face shape is essential you do not want to overlook the shape of the nose. Large Nose-Large oversized frames are best suited to help balance out the face. A smaller frame will emphasize the nose. Long Nose-Frames with higher arms will draw attention toward the temples and away from the nose. Adding a double bridge will also help a nose appear shorter. Small Nose-A higher bridge in addition to a lighter color frame will appear to lengthen a shorter nose.
