Utterly Useless!

I am now 39 years old and the only person in my entire family that doesn't wear glasses. In fact, at the latest, everyone in my family wore glasses by the age of 27. I am now 12 years past that age and my eyes are just as good now as they have ever been. I contribute a lot of this to the fact that I religiously started wearing high quality sunglasses at the age of 13. It was actually my family eye doctor who told me to do this when I asked him if I too was going to have to wear glasses some day as I recognized very early that everyone in my family wore them. He told me that it comes down to 2 things, genetics and how you treat your eyes. In other words, some people are just screwed and genetically have bad eyes and some people wind up getting bad eyesight because they simply didn't take good care of their eyes. He told me that there was a very good chance that I would have to wear glasses someday as bad eyesight obviously ran in our family. He told me the best thing I could do to put that day off as long as possible was to buy a pair of high quality sunglasses, one that protects against ALL UV radiation and wear them every time I went outside and that includes cloudy days. Most people dont think ahead health wise, at least not at that age. We think were infallible when were young, that nothing will happen to us, but for some reason I listened to what the eye doctor said that day and I wound up purchasing a pair of Revo's with my paper route money. That was 1985 and ironically it was the same year that Revo started making sunglasses. I still remember going into the sunglasses store and seeing this huge cardboard REVO advertisement that focused on UV radiation protection, exactly what my eye doctor had told me. So I wound up going with Revo and have been buying sunglasses from them ever since, over 25 years. It was a LOT of money for a 13 year old kid with nothing but a paper route but I purchased them anyways (Probably one of the reasons why I so vividly remember it, lol).Anyways, it kills me when I see cheap sunglasses like this being so popular as they do very little in regards to protecting your eyes from UV radiation. I have done a lot of research on this topic since I first purchased those Revo's and make no mistake about it, that eye doctor was spot on. UV radiation damage may be very slow, but it does happen each and every time you go outside without proper sunglasses on and again it doesn't even have to be sunny out. You add up that damage over 30, 40, 50 years and it quickly becomes significant. So do you and your eyes a favor and stick with quality sunglasses that block 100% of UV radiation. On top of UV radiation you also have high-energy visible (HEV) radiation. High energy visible radiation is actually in the visible spectrum and is located at the violet or blue band ranging from 380 to 530 nm. The best way to block HEV radiation is buying lenses with colors such as bronze, copper and reddish-brown as those colors significantly block blue light.If your one of the people that have purchased these sunglasses then dont fret, you only paid a couple bucks for em. Drop em on the ground and stomp on em. As for the people that think these sunglasses look cool.....well, trust me on this one, a quality pair of aviator glasses from companies like Ray Ban, Revo, etc. look a 1000 times cooler than these do. They may cost more money but ask yourself what value you put on your eyesight and you will quickly realize that such sunglasses are worth every last penny and then some.Again, do your eyes a favor and just say no to cheap sunglasses. Make no mistake about it, you will eventually pay the price for wearing cheap sunglasses.
