With summer in full swing, it’s time to get serious about protecting your children’s eyes. “It’s a fact that eyes can get sunburned,” says Phoenix Ophthalmologist Dr. Gary Hall. “Sunshine has been linked to cataracts, macular degeneration and other serious eye diseases and can burn the cornea. The damage starts early and is cumulative.” Enter Frubi Shades, an award-winning wraparound pair of sunglasses for babies and toddlers created by Dr. Hall and business partner Renee Resler.
Frubis (FRame coverage, Ultra violet, Blue Light and Infrared) are rated with an eye protection factor (EPF) of 99.5 out of 100, the highest recorded in the sunglass industry. The glasses are made of spongy soft material and don’t contain small parts, hinges or hard surfaces to scrape or otherwise annoy your ‘tough-to-keep-sunglasses-on’ tot.
Look for fun styles like purple checks and turquoise with purple polka dots or opt for a solid color (pink, purple, turquoise, yellow or green). Buy Frubi Shades for $14.95 a piece or in a three-pack for $29.95.
