NOW THAT warm weather has
finally and truly hit the Lower
Mainland, sunglasses in all shapes
and descriptions are appearing.

A versatile fashion accessory,
sunglasses can add a touch of style
and elegance to summer dressing.

But, in the desire for fashionable
sunglasses, buyers may be harming

their eyes with substandard pro-'

ducts.

Here are some tips from the
B.C. Association of Optometrists
to help get the best sunglasses.

If you spend a lot of time out-
doors because of your job or just
having fun in the sun, without
sunglasses, or even wearing poor
ones, you may suffer eyestrain,
headaches, fatigue, nausea and
even reduced night vision.

Over-exposure can cause damage
to the retina, the area at the back
of the eye that allows us to see.
Optometrists now believe that over
a lifetime the effects of ultraviolet
light on the eye’s lens leads to cat-
aracts in some cases.

Whether or not you wear
prescription lenses, it is wise to
have a thorough eye examination
before investing in sunglasses.

If your vision is not up to par,
plain sunglasses, or those with an
outdated prescription, will not
meet your needs.

In choosing your own
sunglasses, be sure to look for a
label describing the lenses’ ultravi-
olet and infrared protection.

Sunglasses should screen out 75
to 90 per cent of available sunlight
and be made of quality impact-
resistant glass or plastic.

Tinted lenses that only block 35
per cent or less are fashion tints
and not recommended for use as
sunglasses.

It is important to have proper
lenses. Otherwise you may actually
allow more harmful radiation into
the eye by tricking the pupil to
open behind the shaded lens while
letting in UV.

There are three types of sun
lenses available: tinted,
photochromic and polarizing. Sev-
eral different coatings can be add-
ed.

After more than 35 years of world

travelling, I've learned what ad-

to be up to the task. Back in the

1950's when I was leading safa-

ris and Selling safari supplies in

Kenya, we always insisted on gar-

ments of uncompromising quali-

ty and made from 100% cotton

fabric for comfort in any climate. To-

day is no different, Our Open Coun-

try Adventure Clothing is carefully

, designed and manufactured following

Ps these criteria. Every product from our

J“ authentic Safarl Bush Shirt pictured ($56) to

to our Classic Bush Vest ($59) has been torture

tested the world over and with their sharp styling they can handie
camp or conference with equal aplomb. ~—Joe Bate
