Why Counterfeit Eyewear are dangerous
Eyewear, these days, not only cater to the needs such as eye protection and improving the vision problems, but they have also become a fashion statement. Now, people wear sunglasses, frames, and lenses depending on the occasion. Eyewear brands are continuously working on bringing new innovative designs, shapes, and sizes in the market.
Good quality sunglasses protect the eyes from UVA and UVB rays, whereas most of the counterfeit sunglasses don’t. In fact, wearing fake sunglasses may cause more damage to the eyes than not wearing any. When we go into the sun, we squint our eyes in order to control the amount of light entering the eyes. Counterfeit sunglasses, without the UVA/UVB protection, filter the visible sunlight, allowing our pupils to dilate and hence letting more or UVA/UVB rays entering the eys. These rays are very dangerous for the eyes and may cause medical conditions such as cataracts.
A lot of times fake sunglasses make things look bigger or smaller, making it difficult for the wearer to know precisely how far something is. This is very dangerous when the person is walking on the road or driving. Counterfeit contact lenses may be contaminated and may cause eye infections and other problems.
