Sunglasses can serve many purposes, from fashion statement to vision protection and eye health. Who knew?
In an attempt to capitalize on the popularity and versatility of sunglasses, Sundog Eyewear recently introduced a Mela-Lens technology that involves infusing synthetic melanin into its eyewear to filter the sun’s dangerous blue light.
The company upped its scientific path this year with TrueBlue MOLP (Melanin plus Ocular Lens Pigment). The technology is being touted as the only combination of the two natural substances that protect the eye from invisible and visible light. Advantages, the company says, are protection from blue light and its long-term impact on vision health, reduced short-term eye fatigue by reducing veiled glare, enhanced clarity and no color distortion because blue light is filtered, not blocked.
LPGA Tour star Paula Creamer is perhaps the most visible face behind the Sundog brand, and she’s been involved in designing her own eyewear styles for years. Her new Fairwaymodel features the TrueBlue lens that’s a combination of fashion, funk and comfort, with muted or bright color explosions designed to suit a wearer’s moods.
There are more than a dozen models in Sundog’s TrueBlue Collection, including the new Laser that features suspended open bottom lenses on an open frame constructed of lightweight MaxFlex Rilsan. The model also has Megol nose pads and Megol co-injected temple tips for non-slip performance and comfort.
Other models, named to show TrueBlue’s focus on athleticism and flair, are Attack, Default, Dash, Bolt, Flight, Illusion, Mach, Pace, Prime, Uptown and Boss.
