		<description><![CDATA[While many may look at sunglasses as simply a way to block the sun on a bright day or reduce glare for better visibility while driving or playing your favourite sport, the benefits go much farther. 1. Wearing “cheap” sunglasses is actually worse than going without. If sunglasses offer shade, but don’t offer UVA and UVB protection, they’ll cause your eyes to dilate (pupils get larger) which allows more of those harmful rays in.                                                                     2. Sunglasses are not just for bright sunny days.  Over time, the exposure of walking to and from the car, driving to work or just going for short walk can damage the eyes. To combat the harmful effects of the sun, we should wear a pair of quality polarized sunglasses because they block out harmful UV rays and eliminate glare. 3. Leaving eyes exposed can cause you to age more quickly. Potential damage from UV rays includes sunburns on the eye’s surface, cataracts, macular degeneration and even cancer of the eye and surrounding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the eye takes up less than two percent of the body’s surface area, it plays a vital role in allowing visible light into the body, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These vital organs are protected from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays in a variety of ways such as the brow bridge, eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as the pupils’ ability to naturally contract in bright sunlight. This contraction regulates the light intensity by minimising the penetration of the sun’s rays into the eye, preventing over-exposure and safeguarding the eyes from the sun. However, this process of self-protection is usually accompanied by the discomfort of squinting and watering eyes, resulting in eye fatigue and reduced vision. Whilst our eyes are able to manage the light intensity they are not fully equipped to completely combat the effects of harsh glare and harmful UV ray exposure.  “Naturally, we reach for our shades to ensure eye comfort. But, sunglasses that don’t provide full UV ray protection can cause more damage,” says Martine Larroque, Managing Director, Middle East and Africa of Maui Jim® Sunglasses. “When you put on a pair of sunglasses, you shade your eyes and your pupils [...]]]></description>
