I heard of a way to maybe allow me to test if all these UV PROTECTION claims you see on most sunglasses were true. This video shows that method. GOOD SUNGLASSES DO NOT HAVE TO COST A LOT OF MONEY. I just bought some great UV blocking sunglasses for $6.00 online and I like them. I made this video last week and I have been hesitant to post it because I am no eye doctor or expert... but I really liked learning about a way I myself can check the sunglasses I wear and it was so cool and such a good idea that I thought I should make a video showing it and share it... but... But, it is possible it is all shenanigans. I remade this video 4-5 times adding things and removing things in an effort for it to be the truth... and in the end I hope it is... I was almost going to remake it again to take out the FAIL part, but I facts be known, I re-checked those glasses and they do fail. Anyway... if this video helps just one person who might other wise be hurt by lack of knowledge then it made it worth my effort. Even if I hear or know about who it helped. I think there a bunch of other tests (besides the one shown in the video) which you can do on sunglasses, and I think there are many types of UV radiation... and not all glasses block all types. It is all kind of scary. There is UVA and UVB and UVC.... and there is something called UV400 on some sun glasses which supposedly blocks all the spectrum in the 400 range of something wavelength or other... things that are bad for your eyes. UV info copy/pasted from somehwere online- Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the sun. Whereas UVC rays (wavelengths of 100-280 nm) are absorbed by the atmospheric ozone, most radiation in the UVA range (315-400 nm) and about 10 % of the UVB rays (280-315 nm) reach the Earth's surface. There is so much information, people should read up on it. You should read up on it... at least you should know enough to own and use good UV blocking sunglasses. GOOD SUNGLASSES DO NOT HAVE TO COST A LOT OF MONEY I just bought some great UV blocking sunglasses for $6.00 online and I like them. So for a week I had decided I am not posting this video, I do not want to steer people wrong. THEN ... I saw something on TV about this... and it said most people know hardly anything about any of this... and they aid people should know more. They said people should learn more about UV rays and people should not just trust sunglasses companies and the sticker on their glasses. I took that as sign I should post the video, but with a disclaimer... sooooo.... I remade the video AGAIN and I added some warnings at the end about how YOU SHOULD GO OUT AND LEARN ABOUT UV RAYS, UV RADIATION. YOU should do this. Your eyes are important. You should protect them. You should know about this stuff to your level of comfortabilty (is that a word?) You should look into UV rays and glass company claims and understand what is going on. Do not rely only on one guys video posted online... watch more videos and learn more and do what you can to help make your eyes last you your whole life. Going blind would suck, especially if you could have avoided it. So I post the video with that intent. But just know that it is only one piece of what you should know. And allow me to add another thing. GLAUCOMA!! GO GET TESTED FOR IT!!! IT IS AN EYE DEFECT WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD BE TESTED FOR. I get tested for it all the time. I have had bad eyes my entire life, and I have had my eyes checked for glaucoma too many times.... Every eye check they test me for it... And I always wondered, what about people with perfect eyes? They never get checked for this. AND THEY SHOULD. YOU SHOULD. Have you ever heard of Kirby Puckett? Look him up and learn his story. Kirby was a MLB professional baseball player who lost his eye sight in the prime of his life. He lost his ability to see and his ability to play the game or do his job. He was never tested fro glaucoma and then he was diagnosed with glaucoma, and was placed on the disabled list for the first time in his professional career. Please don not let that happen to you. Look up Kirby... he lost his vision, his job and then he died too young. It is a sad story.. and maybe could have been avoided. Hall of Fame player (2001) played from 1984-1995 A PROVEN TEAM LEADER WITH AN EVER-PRESENT SMILE AND INFECTIOUS EXUBERANCE WHO LED THE TWINS TO WORLD SERIES TITLES IN 1987 AND 1991. OVER 12 SEASONS HIT FOR POWER AND AVERAGE, BATTING .318 WITH 414 DOUBLES AND 207 HOME RUNS. ALSO A PROLIFIC RUN PRODUCER, SCORED 1,071 RUNS AND DROVE IN 1,085 IN 1,783 GAMES. A SIX-TIME GOLD GLOVE WINNER WHO PATROLLED CENTER FIELD WITH ELEGANCE AND STYLE, ROUTINELY SCALING OUTFIELD WALLS TO TAKE AWAY HOME RUNS. THE 10-TIME ALL-STAR'S CAREER ENDED ABRUPTLY DUE TO IRREVERSIBLE RETINAL DAMAGE IN HIS RIGHT EYE.
