Von Zipper Lenses Replacement: Keep Your Glasses Looking Like New
Contents
Buying new sunglasses is a great pleasure but also a necessity. Your eyes are fragile, no matter if you think that you can endure the harsh sun rays during the summer when you’re at the beach, or in winter when skiing. If your choice is a pair of quality sunglasses like Von Zipper, you probably think that you made a lifetime investment. And you’re right. However, after a while, the lenses can get damaged. And even if they seem fine, the UV filter might be weakened, so you will have to change your Von Zipper sunglass lenses for them to protect your eyes optimally.
Do You Need to Replace Your Lenses?
You can have the most expensive and best-looking sunglasses, but after a while, their lenses will have to be replaced. Why is this necessary if your glasses aren’t scratched, broken or damaged? No matter how good care you take of your glasses, after a couple of years, the UV radiation will slowly weaken the filter, which will decrease the level of protection they provide.
You might not be able to see the tiny scratches and you might think that your glasses are good as new. However, the small and almost invisible scratches are like a web that are destroying the dye and pigment that can’t absorb the radiation. Even frequent wearing of your sunnies will lead to reduced eye protection.
How Often Should You Replace Them?
When it comes to replacing Von Zipper lenses, you will have to do this process every 2 years. If you wear your sunglasses often, the UVA and UVB filter will become less effective and can damage your eyes making you more exposed to eye cancer, cataracts, pterygia, etc.
Eye damages don’t necessarily happen during summer only, they can occur during winter as well when the snow reflects the sunlight. The same happens when you’re near water since water reflects sun rays. The more water or snow there is around you and less ground (to absorb the sunlight), the more radiation will reflect towards your eyes and face.
What to Do If You Need Lenses Replacement?
Your Von Zipper lenses will need to be replaced once you notice they are damaged. Be sure to check the qualifiers of the lenses (their size). Check the Von Zipper website and see if they offer lens replacement for your exact model. Then, check the identity number of the frame to know what exactly you need. Some frames have several sizes.
