DESCRIPTION
http://aviator-sunglasses.net/aviator - The danger to your eyes and skin from exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation should not be ignored. It is important to be aware of the UV Index for your area when you know you will be spending a lot of time outdoors so that you can make sure you are wearing the proper protection. Your eyes are your most important sensory asset, and protecting them should be a priority. The use of the proper sunglasses can insure adequate protection of your eyes; however, not all sunglasses are created equal. We highly recommend sunglasses that offer 98 to 100% ultraviolet protection with glass lenses in order to keep your eyes cool no matter what the conditions.TRANSCRIPT
UV Index Forecast
Forecast for the period:7-26 to 7-29-13
Sunglass protect your mostimportant sensory asset –your eyes!
Every day the National Weather Service calculates the predicted UV Index for the next day in each area of the U.S. This UV Index forecast is published in mid-afternoon (Eastern time zone) at the EPA website. The ozone layer shields the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
If the level of solar UV radiation is predicted to be unusually high, and consequently the risk of overexposure is greater than normal, the forecast includes UV Alerts.
Ozone depletion, as well as seasonal and weather variations, cause different amounts of UV radiation to reach the Earth at any given time. The UV Index, developed by the National Weather Service and EPA, indicates the strength of solar UV radiation on a scale from 1 (low) to 11+ (extremely high).
Health Effects of UV Radiation
Ozone layer depletion decreases our atmosphere’s natural protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Understanding these risks and taking sensible precautions will help you enjoy the sun while reducing your chances of sun-related health problems.
Eyes can be damaged by the sun and result in cataracts which, if left untreated, can lead to blindness. Other kinds of eye damage include pterygium, skin cancer aroundthe eyes and degeneration of the macula. All of these problems can belessened with proper eye protection.
