May Is Healthy Vision Month — Here’s the Real Reason to Update Your Sunglasses

Posted by Stephanie Petchers on

We all know sunglasses protect our eyes from harmful UV rays—but what most people don’t realize is that even the best sunglasses don’t last forever.

Over time, the lenses get scratched. They wear down. And when that happens, those tiny imperfections can let UV rays sneak through—right to your eyes.

At Velvet Eyewear, we believe healthy vision doesn’t have to come with a designer price tag. In fact, it shouldn’t.

😎 Why Scratched Lenses Can Hurt Your Eyes

Scratches might seem like a minor issue, but they can affect how your lenses filter light.
Even slight abrasions can cause distortion, reduce clarity, and compromise the UV protection you think you're getting. That’s why your old sunglasses might be doing more harm than good.

And let’s face it—life happens.
They drop. They get tossed in bags. They live in cars. And eventually, they need to be replaced.

💸 Affordable Style, Real Protection

Instead of investing in one super-expensive pair of sunglasses and wearing them for years, Velvet makes it easy to buy multiple pairs at affordable prices—so you can:

  • Replace them more often (and protect your eyes better)

  • Match them to your outfit, mood, or vibe

  • Always have a backup in your bag, car, or beach tote

We believe in fashion with function—protection that looks good and feels effortless.

👯 More Style. More Safety. No Compromise.

UV protection is a daily essential. And so is personal style.
At Velvet, our sunglasses are curated for fit, comfort, and timeless style—so you can stay protected and polished all year long.

Think of it as eye health with a side of chic.
