Our fashion Sunglasses offer 100% UV Protection; they are armed with a filter that blocks out all wavelengths in the UV range (10 - 400 nm). What UV400 stands for is “this pair of sunglasses blocks any wavelength below 400 nm".

So what’s the difference between UV400 and 100% UV protection? None. One is the technical term (UV400) and the other is an easier-to-understand claim about that term.

Both will protect your eyes from UV light and allow you to go about your day without worrying about burnt corneas. But, as stated above, this has very little to do with the darkness of the shades. Just like sunscreen, almost transparent sunglasses can offer full UV protection since they’re blocking out wavelengths of light we can’t see.

UV rays are present year-round and wearing sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection (aka UV400) is the best way to reduce the risk of developing several serious eye disorders.
