Why lens darkness does not mean UV protection

26 Jun 2026

A common misconception: darker sunglasses mean better eye protection. In reality, a dark lens with no UV coating can be worse than no sunglasses at all. Here is why — the darkness causes your pupil to open wider, letting in more UV light if the lens does not block it.

Always look for 100% UV400 protection, not just dark tints. Every pair of sunglasses at Vision Rabbit is UV400 certified.
