6招選對太陽眼鏡 不合適的太陽眼鏡,讓你的眼睛更容易暴露在紫外線傷害中。 如何辨識劣質太陽眼鏡 太陽眼鏡可以擋掉強光及紫外線干擾,避免眼睛的老化及病變。 然而劣質的太陽 眼鏡,卻可能讓眼睛暴露在更多紫外線傷害中。 首先,沒有抗紫外線功能的深色鏡片,如同剝掉眼睛保護層, 讓紫外線長驅直入,穿透角膜造成傷害。 選錯太陽眼鏡,傷害更大 其次,「太陽眼鏡不是顏色愈深愈好!」專家提出警告, 顏色只能讓光線減弱,但不能阻擋隔絕紫外線。 而且深色鏡片會讓視線變暗,眼睛瞳孔放大, 反而吸收更多紫外線灼傷眼睛,國泰醫院眼科醫生林思源說, 這類情形相當常見。 鏡片顏色不佳,甚至可能造成車禍意外。 2001年香港消費者委員會檢驗市售太陽眼鏡發現, 劣質太陽眼鏡會讓駕駛員出現色差,把紅燈看成綠燈, 增加交通意外危險。 鏡框鏡片變形扭曲引起視覺問題,也不容小覷。 鏡片表面凹凸不平、弧度不均勻、結構不穩定等, 都會影響解析度和視覺效果。 可憐的眼睛被迫調節這些外在視覺的不平衡, 長期下來不但容易疲累,也會出現 頭痛 ,甚至散光等情形, 嚴重影響視力健康。 尤其高中以下學童眼睛尚在調整發育階段,不良鏡片影響更大。 對於各類眼鏡相當有研究, 中華民國眼鏡發展協會常務理事陳豐祥指出。 歐美國家對於太陽眼鏡都有嚴格品質把關,民眾可以安心選擇。 但國內沒有相關檢驗單位, 良莠不齊的太陽眼鏡種類從百元到數千元,消費者該如何選擇? 太陽眼鏡並非愈貴愈好。無論是眼鏡專家或醫師都表示, 太陽眼鏡能達到保護效果最重要,有時候價格貴在框架設計或品牌。 想要選到安全又價格合理的太陽眼鏡,消費者應該考慮以下幾點: 1.一定要有抗UV功能 太陽眼鏡不是顏色愈深愈好,是否有抗紫外線功能才是重點。 一般透明鏡片也可以做到抗UV效果, 譬如樹脂鏡片可以阻擋多數的UVB(約92%)。 但太陽眼鏡最好還是選擇紫外線過濾率達99~100%。 可以看看鏡片上是否有UV400的小標籤, 這表示鏡片可以過濾掉400mm以下的紫外線光, 陽明醫院眼科醫師王孟祺說。 目前太陽眼鏡最普遍的做法是, 將鏡片浸泡在抗紫外線的化學溶液中,使鏡片產生抗紫外線功能, 因此幾乎所有的眼鏡(多層膜除外), 都可以請店家幫你做抗...
