With My First Shades we believe in early intervention as a way to guard against irreparable eye damage caused by harmful UV rays. We believe in helping to educate parents and guardians about the need for UV protection for our children and we believe in the need for our children to wear sun glasses with 100% UV protection when exposed to the sun - Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, infants and children under ten years of age are at an increased risk for retinal injury. Children 's eyes are not fully developed and susceptible to greater penetration of harmful UV rays. Exposure to UV rays can lead to eye disease such as macular degeneration which scientists now believe is a leading cause of blindness in older individuals.
In a recent survey, 82% of parents encourage their children to wear sunscreen. However, only a low 32% of parents encourage their children to wear sunglasses. Not surprisingly, fewer people understand the sun's harmful effects. Although the sun is our main source of Vitamin D, UV lights can cause "photokeratitis". Just like sunburn on skin, photokeratitis is sunburn of the eye. Extended exposure to the sun during childhood can lead to impaired vision, cataracts, and even blindness.
Active families spending a lot of time outdoors, would never go anywhere without adequate protection to keep their children's skin safe from the sun's harmful rays. A child's visual health is vulnerable without taking similar precautions.
My First Shades are a safe, stylish and fun way to protect your children's eyes, and encourage healthy eye protection habits for years to come! My First Shades brand of children's UV eye protection is uniquely designed with "Stay Put Power".
Even infants and toddlers should wear baby sunglasses. Larger lenses, well fitted close to the surface of the eye provide the best protection. The American Optometric Association further recommends polycarbonate construction for its shatterproof quality, and soft temples or bands for comfort and safety.
