Okay, so what exactly is this whole UV protection thing? Well there are three kinds of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, but its UV-A and UV-B that are of concern:

UV-A can damage the retina –the part of the eye that picks up images and transmits them to the brain. Needless to say, its a pretty good idea to block UV-A Radiation; and with Slick Eyewear, youll protect your eye from 100% of this particular harmful effect of the sun.

UV-B is associated with the development of cataracts. We dont want cataracts, nor do we want you to have them. Consequently, Slick Eyewear blocks 100% of this nasty little solar by-product as well.

UV—C is effectively filtered by the earths ozone layer. However, thanks to all of the chlorofluorocarbons that were used during that "Big Hair" craze in the mid to late 80s, our ozone layer is depleting. Consequently, we cant rely on it to protect us from these rays. You can, however, rely on Slick Eyewear to do 100% of this dirty work.

UV radiation has a cumulative effect-the longer you are exposed to this UV light and the glare associated with it, the more likely you are to suffer from the discomfort of watery eyes, headaches, nausea, and even temporary blindness. In fact, vision problems associated with night driving are often caused by the lingering effects of overexposure to the sun and its harmful properties during the day. Because the damage from UV light accumulates over time, it is especially important to make sure that your eyes are properly protected each and every time you encounter sunlight directly. (For the record, sunlight is at its most damaging levels between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The risk becomes greater if you are swimming, boating, or sitting at the beach because UV radiation is reflected off the water and sand.)

Please understand the following: Slick Eyewear protects you from 100% of UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiation. Dont be fooled by some other brand of sunglasses that states their lenses "meet 100% of the UV-A and UV-B requirements". There is a big difference.

Simply stated, Slick Eyewear provides you with the maximum eye protection offered in the sunglasses industry. Slick Eyewear – complete eye and image protection.
