Let’s be shady

Today is international sunglasses day! Though it is unknown how it all started, we here at Children’s Own approve this the shadiest day, but for your eyes.

Summer is in full swing. The sun is high in the sky. It’s blindingly bright. A pair of UV protection sunglasses is definitely in order.

Why do people wear sunglasses?

There’s lots of reasons, including:

• You want to be a movie star and they all wear sunglasses.

• You’re looking to hide behind a big, dark pair of sunglasses and travel unseen through the streets.

• You are a spy! A little espionage, eh?

• You want to make a fashion statement.

• And, Oh yes ... . A few of us wear sunglasses to protect our eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

Your optician will tell you that sunglasses with UV protection will help to avoid cataracts.

Enjoy Sunglasses Day with a shady, mysterious and fashionable pair of shades.
