Increasing the Popularity Of Sunglasses By Customizing It For Weddings

by Lisa Livingston Sr. Art & Print Director

Sunglasses are necessary to protect your eyes from the damaging effects of sunrays.  Sometimes they double up as reading glasses when the lenses have power and are colored or polarized.  It has been recommended by the American Optometric Association that our eyes be protected from the UV rays of the sun when outside.  Using sunglasses is mandatory if you have undergone eye procedures such as LASIK.  The use of sunglasses became popular when celebrities started using them to mask their identity from the public.  Anything associated with celebrities is popular and so the public also wanted to wear sunglasses to look as cool and as glamorous as their adored idols.  Manufacturers of sunglasses started popularizing their use by customizing them for use at events such as weddings.

 

Sunglasses as Popular Wedding Souvenirs

 

Sunglasses that were customized for weddings were made in the theme colors of the wedding with the names of the groom and bride printed on the frames.  They are popular as wedding souvenirs as they can be reused multiple times.  Sunglasses are especially popular at summer weddings that are held outdoors.  Protection from the UV rays of the sun is important so that your vision remains intact as you grow older.  Prolonged exposure to the UV rays of the sun could make you susceptible to diseases such as macular degeneration, pterygium, and cataracts.  Macular degeneration could even lead to eventual blindness.  The only type of sunglasses that you should buy are those that offer UV protection.  There is usually a little label on the sunglasses that tell you how much of protection it offers.  UV400 protection sunglasses usually block harmful rays of different wavelengths. 

 

Ozone Layer Depletion Making Sunglasses Essential

 

The use of sunglasses is especially important these days as ozone layer depletion has led to greater amounts of UV radiation reaching us.  This depletion of the protective ozone layer has also led to greater incidents of skin cancer and thus the need for protection of our skin, the sensitive skin around our eyes, and our eyes itself.  Sunglasses have to be carefully bought because plain dark glasses which do not offer UV protection can actually make our eyes more susceptible to damage from sunrays.  In fact, it has been recommended that the practice of wearing sunglasses be inculcated from an early age just like we train our youngsters to use sunscreen when out in the sun.  This is also why customized sunglasses for weddings are popular as mementos as people will keep them and use them without throwing them away as they would if they were given some useless pretty trinkets.

 

Sunglasses for All Outdoorsmen

 

Sunglasses are not only needed on sunny days but also on cloudy days because the UV rays are just as damaging even if the sun is not shining brightly.  Sunglasses are recommended for anyone who works outdoors, even for those who work on water or on snow slopes.  This is because the UV rays from reflected sunlight such as the reflection of light from water, snow, and sand are just as dangerous.  It is not necessary to buy branded and expensive sunglasses to ensure you have protection.  There are now numerous online sites that can provide you with good quality sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection.  It is also possible to order customized sunglasses for weddings from these sites to be given away as mementos to the guests.
