b'POLARISATIONEYE SAFETY INFORMATION PPE - EYE PROTECTIONPolarised LensesLight can bounce and reflect off a myriad of surfaces, such as water, snow and the road. Polarising technology removes the glare and the stress it causes to your eyes.The lenses block virtually 99.99% of UVA/ UVB rays, protection that goes well beyond government and commercial standards. Non Polarised PolarisedWAVELENGTHS & UV LIGHTWe receive wavelengths through two organs; we see light through our eyes and we capture sound through our ears. From radio waves to gamma rays, wavelengths gradually constrict, causing their frequency to increase and making them consume more and more energy. Hence, waves gradually increase in intensity and therefore are more dangerous for the eyes.The sun emits three types of light waves and without the correct eye protection each in its own way can seriously affect the eye.Ultraviolet Light Rays: 5% of the suns energy reaches the earth in380 NMthis form. UV rays (invisible tanning rays) can cause serious damage10to the unprotected eye including the development of cataracts andGammacorneal blistering. 380 NM10 X raysUV Infrared Light Rays: 50% of the suns energy reaches the earth asGammaheat or infrared.

The human eye can only see wavelengths within the visible spectrum (between 380 and 780 nanometres).10 -13 NMComplete Spe\x14rum Visible Spe\x14rumInvisible Spe\x14rum - U.V.
