UV protection and your eyes: why Otis sunglasses are the best choice
In our everyday lives, we spend countless hours under the sun. Whether we’re heading to the beach, driving, playing sports, commuting to work, or simply enjoying the outdoors, sunlight is a constant companion. We all know how important sunscreen is for our skin, but we often forget that our eyes also suffer from the effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage your vision over time, affecting everything from the cornea to the retina. That’s why choosing a good pair of sunglasses isn’t just about style, it’s an investment in your eye health. So, why do we say OTIS sunglasses are the best choice for you? Let’s take a look.
Why UV protection is so important
UV rays are mainly divided into UVA and UVB, both harmful to your eyes. Continuous exposure can lead to problems like photokeratitis, premature cataracts, or general eye aging.
Even on cloudy days or during winter, UV rays are still present, reflecting off water, sand, or snow. That means your eyes are always at risk, even when it doesn’t seem like it.
It’s essential to make sure your sunglasses provide full UV protection, some cheaper models only darken your vision without truly blocking harmful radiation.
Sunglasses with 100% UV protection, like OTIS, act as an invisible shield, filtering out damaging rays and reducing eye strain.
OTIS lenses: Clarity and protection in every look
OTIS mineral glass lenses not only deliver exceptional optical clarity, but also provide complete UV protection, blocking 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. Unlike plastic lenses, mineral glass retains its purity over time, it doesn’t warp, yellow, or lose efficiency with sun exposure.
Plus, OTIS lenses are 12 times more scratch-resistant than regular plastic ones, meaning your vision stays sharp and protected even after years of use.
It’s the perfect balance of optical technology, durability, and sustainability. Our lenses are designed not only to look good but to perform brilliantly during your daily routines and outdoor adventures.
Beyond the sun: A more sustainable vision
Caring for your eyes can also mean caring for the planet. OTIS crafts all its lenses from natural materials like silica and soda ash, completely recyclable and non-toxic. Our frames are made from Eco-Acetate, a biodegradable material that maintains the premium look and feel of high-quality eyewear.
Every pair of OTIS sunglasses represents a conscious choice: better vision, lower environmental impact, and years of clarity that last.
How to recognize true UV protection
When buying sunglasses, make sure the product clearly states its UV protection level. Look for labels such as “100% UV Protection” or “UV400” and be wary of imitations or fashion lenses that only darken your view without filtering harmful light.
All OTIS sunglasses meet international UV protection standards and undergo rigorous quality checks. Because for us, eye health isn’t a detail, it’s a priority.
Protecting your eyes shouldn’t mean giving up on style. With OTIS, you can enjoy clear vision, total protection, and timeless design. Whether you’re in the mountains, at sea, or in the city, our sunglasses are built to accompany you everywhere, offering clarity, durability, and confidence in every look.
