Michelle Obama is not only our First Lady, but she is also a trend setter. Her love of polka dots has not only dazzled and inspired designers like Jason Wu, but she has most recently inspired the trend setters over at Eyes Cream Shades. Providing quality sunwear for those ages six months and above, the Eyes Cream Shades brand has been seen in major motion pictures, on prime time television shows, and is a favorite among many celebrity moms and dads who sport their little ones in their shades.

Already receiving rave reviews, and just released last week, their new vanilla chip sunglasses, from their OTT (over the top) collection, is specially crafted in a luscious shiny white frame with trendy black polka dots.

It is imperative that parents understand that sunglasses are not “toys” or novelty items, but serve a function infinitely more important, protecting our eyes from permanent ocular disorders. Proper sunwear not only limits damaging UV rays to the eyes that can contribute to the development of cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal problems and growths on the eye, but also protects the delicate surrounding skin that can develop into skin cancers later in life.

Importantly, harmful UV rays easily penetrate clouds, so children must practice healthy sun safety habits not only on sunny summer days, but also on cloudy fall and winter days as well. Children must wear polycarbonate lenses that block at least 99% UVA, UVB, & UVC. Be wary of sunglasses that say “block UV” or “provides UV protection” without specifying exactly what percentage of UV rays the product blocks. Many substandard sunglasses for kids don’t provide protection against UVA type of sun rays, and this can harm their eyes. Check the frames also, as many, particularly the inexpensive/novelty types, can be a breakage and injury hazard.

All Eyes Cream Shades products are fashion forward, comfortable, as well as durable; and all lenses are polycarbonate and provide 100% UVA & UVB protection.
