SELECTING SUNGLASSES

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory, they are also protective equipment designed to shield the eyes from UV rays, avoid discomfort from bright light and help prevent problems caused by sun exposure, such as retinal damage, cataracts and photokeratitis.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PAIR OF SUNGLASSES

IKYUM® SUN CLARITY

The standard features of IKYUM include ultra thin High Index lenses specially selected by our opticians depending of your prescription

When buying sunglasses, you should always pay attention to the so-called filter categories, which indicate the intensity of the color. The color of the lenses does not necessarily correspond to their protective properties. Darker colors increase pupil dilation, which causes harmful UV rays to penetrate the eyes more than without glasses.

Therefore, IKYUM® sun clarity comes with UV400 label and Category 3 maximum level of darkness for a daily usage.

The BLACK

The Green reduces light intensity while preserving color perception. It is indicated for all corrections.

HIGH CONTRAST

POLARIZED FILTER

Light waves move in all directions, when they are reflected on a flat surface (water, car windshield, snow, etc.), their axis of vibration is changed. The so-called "polarized" light is the one that vibrates only on a horizontal axis. This is what causes glare.

Polarizing lenses block the polarized light and only let through the light carrying information. Thus, they improve visual acuity by filtering all reflections due to reflective surfaces.

Whether you are driving, practicing a water sport or mountain hiking, polarizing glass is a solution for you.  For your information, LCD screens usually also contain a polarizing filter to see more clearly. Depending on the axis of polarization of the screen, it happens that it remains black when wearing your polarized glasses.
