Frubi Kids' Sunglasses - Purple << Prev page


If there were one thing I'd do for my children now if I had it to do all over again, it would be to provide sun protection for their eyes beginning when they were infants.

Learning that a child's lens allows 70% more UV rays in than an adult's does was sobering enough. Couple that with the fact that UV protection alone is not adequate because blue light and infrared rays are also destructive to the eyes, and you have a recipe for a number of eye diseases (cataracts and macular degeneration, to name two common ones) that begin not in adulthood, but in childhood. And while we commonly think of sunny summery days when we think ''sunglasses,'' the need for eye protection is not unique to warm weather. One of the most dangerous places to be with unprotected eyes is on a snow-covered mountain on a sunny day. Mountains have at least double the UV radiation found at sea level. In addition, white snow is just about the most reflective natural surface there is, so on top of the elevation exposure, there is 80% more UV exposure on snow than on grass! In total, being on a snow-covered mountain on a sunny day, your eyes will be exposed to four times the UV radiation.

While the windows of a car will block some of the UV rays, they will block virtually none of the blue light, which can damage the retina and is a strong suspect for the cause of macular degeneration. It is not an exaggeration to say that children should be wearing eye protection whenever they are outdoors. Period.

Designed and created by Gary Hall, M.D, an Ophthalmologist specializing in solar-related eye diseases, Frubishades® eyewear has a remarkable EPF of 99.5 out of 100.

(Eye Protection Factor is the rating of the TOTAL protection of sunglasses. It measures 4 important factors: Frame Coverage, the lens' ability to block harmful stray sun rays which go around the lens and frame; Ultraviolet, the lens' ability to block UVA and UVB; Blue Light, the lens' ability to block visible blue light; and Infrared, the lens' ability to block IR radiation.) Frubishades® are composed of extremely lightweight, soft, spongy molded material that is comfortable and snugly wraps around the child's head, unlike the hard plastic material of other sunglasses.

Since eye protection for children is so important now that we know what we know about sun exposure, Frubishades® make perfect sense because they work so well and kids barely know they're wearing them. I only wish they'd been around when I, and my own children, were young.

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon.

If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via UPS International Air courier only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (3-5 business days), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $50.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)
