The danger of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in both the natural environment and artificial occupational settings has long been recognized by national and international standards committees and worker safety agencies. There is an increasing body of literature that suggests that protection from UV exposure is not enough. Unprotected exposure to the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum, termed the "blue light hazard", is gaining acceptance as a true risk to long-term visual health. Global standards and experts in the field are now warning that those individuals who spend considerable time outdoors should seek sun filter eyewear with high impact resistant lenses that provide 100% UV filtration, high levels of blue light filtration, and full visual field lens/frame coverage as provided by high wrap eyewear. The Skin Cancer Foundation has endorsed certain sunglasses as "product[s]...effective [as] UV filter[s] for the eyes and surrounding skin". However, such endorsement does not necessarily mean that the eyewear meets all the protective needs for outdoor use. There are several brands that offer products with such protective characteristics. Performance sun eyewear by Nike Vision, available in both corrective and plano (nonprescription) forms, is one such brand incorporating these protective features.
长期以来，国家和国际标准委员会以及工人安全机构一直认识到在自然环境和人工职业环境中暴露于紫外线（UV）辐射的危险性。越来越多的文献表明，仅防止紫外线暴露是不够的。未受保护地暴露于可见光谱的短波长（即所谓的“蓝光危害”）正逐渐被公认为对长期视觉健康的真正风险。该领域的全球标准和专家现在警告说，那些长时间在户外的人应寻求带有高抗冲击镜片的防晒眼镜，这种眼镜应能提供100%的紫外线过滤、高水平的蓝光过滤，以及像高包裹性眼镜那样的全视野镜片/镜框覆盖。皮肤癌基金会已认可某些太阳镜为“……对眼睛和周围皮肤有效的紫外线过滤器”。然而，这种认可并不一定意味着该眼镜满足户外使用的所有防护需求。有几个品牌提供具有此类防护特性的产品。耐克视力（Nike Vision）的功能性太阳眼镜有矫正型和平光（非处方）型两种，是包含这些防护功能的一个品牌。
