Why UVA + UVB Protection Matters in Performance Sunglasses

Why UVA + UVB Protection Matters in Performance Sunglasses

When you're pushing limits outdoors—running, cycling, or just chasing sun your eyes take a hit. That’s where UVA and UVB protection comes in. At Stryde, every pair of sunglasses offers 100% UV400 protection, built to shield your vision while you perform. 


So, What Are UVA and UVB Rays?

  • UVA rays go deep, damaging the retina and speeding up aging.

  • UVB rays burn the cornea and raise your risk of cataracts.

Without proper protection? You’re exposing your eyes to long-term harm—think blurry vision, eye fatigue, even sunburned eyeballs (yep, that’s real).


What Is UV400 Protection?

UV400 means your lenses block 100% of all harmful rays both UVA + UVB up to 400 nanometers.
Many sunglasses look protective because they’re tinted, but without UV400, they’re doing nothing for your eyes.
