Not All Sunlight is Equal

Where does 'blue' light come from?
Blue light is the high energy light from the sun similar to UV light. This light is scattered the most from O2 and N2 particles in our atmosphere. It is therefore the most energetic and active light that reaches us. Resulting from blue light are veiling glare images and blurred glare images, seen on all golf settings.

Are Your Sunglasses Too Dark

Today's dark UV Sunglasses "dilate" the pupils, allowing more UV and UVB radiation into the Eye. Is this why Vision Loss is the #2 Health cost in the US(2012)? The dark UV film wears off quickly in low quality Sunglasses, whereas UVB Photochromics is a sandwiched procedure. Sun lenses that block UVA, UVB and UVC up to 75% provide a perfect equilibrium between good vision and maximum protection. Photochromic lenses are this perfect balance.
Boomers and seniors whose pupillary reaction times are slow-with-age, do very well with photochromic lenses.
