3. A pioneering brand in sun protection for children's eyes, Julbo's
commitment to opticians, health professionals and consumers is greater
than ever as it continues to raise awareness and offer the most
appropriate protection solution for children's eyes.

4. 2. THE DANGERS OF SOLAR RADIATION FOR CHILDREN'S EYES
Children spend a lot of time outside playing or practising sports and are
therefore naturally exposed to the sun's rays.

5. THE CRYSTALLINE LENS IN CHILDREN'S EYES IS PERMEABLE TO UVA RAYS.
IT ONLY BECOMES IMPERMEABLE TO UVA RAYS IN ADULTHOOD.

8. TRUE or FALSE
UV rays are more intense
in the mountains
The visor of a hat
provides adequate sun
protection for children's
eyes
In the mountains or at the
seaside, if the sky is
overcast, there's no need
to wear sunglasses.

9. UV RAYS ARE MORE INTENSE IN THE MOUNTAINS
TRUE
In the mountains, the intensity of UV rays increases by 10% for every 1000 metres
of altitude.
Therefore it's not just the brightness and glare from snow that we need protection
against.

10. THE VISOR OF A HAT PROVIDES ADEQUATE SUN PROTECTION
FOR CHILDREN'S EYES
FALSE
This is because a significant proportion of radiation comes from glare:
- on snow: up to 90% of glare
- on water: up to 30% of glare
- on sand: up to 28% of glare

11. IN THE MOUNTAINS OR AT THE SEASIDE, IF THE SKY IS
OVERCAST, THERE'S NO NEED TO WEAR SUNGLASSES.
FALSE
Clouds filter out no more than 10% of UV rays. Also, people often get sunburnt
in these conditions because it's not necessarily hot and they don't take
precautions to protect themselves. The same thing goes for their eyes.

12. 3. ADVICE ON CHOOSING THE CORRECT LENS

13. SUN PROTECTION INDEX:
Sunlight filters must comply with European standard EN1836, and more
specifically:
• block 100% of UV radiation
• prevent glare from visible light,
• have sufficient mechanical resistance (impact test),
• be of sufficient optical quality (optical class 1 or 2). 3 or 4

14. JULBO JUNIOR LENSES
All Julbo sunglasses models are fitted with
our Spectron 3 or 4 and Spectron 4 Baby
lenses.
In order to meet safety and comfort
requirements, these lenses are made from
polycarbonate (mineral lenses are dangerous
if broken).
They are available in index 3 for multi-
purpose protection and in index 4 for
optimum protection in highly exposed
environments and for babies and toddlers.
The Polar Junior is a polarized
lens specially adapted for
children's eyewear. It's lighter
and has a polarizing filter to
cut out glare (e.g.: on the
surface of water) and therefore
allows better reading of terrain
and improves contrast.
The Zebra lens is a photochromic
lens available on some sports
models. The level of protection
changes to suit the conditions.
It varies between protection 2
and 4 and allows children to
wear sunglasses all day long,
even when the weather changes.

15. 4. ADVICE ON CHOOSING THE CORRECT FRAME

16. FRAMES FOR KIDS
Sunglasses can only protect children if they wear them!
As well as this obvious fact, the needs and morphology of children must be
taken into account: more movement, more impact and specific facial shapes
(flatter noses in babies and toddlers, etc.)
And these needs change as they get older.
So it's important to choose suitable frames.

17. JULBO EXPERTISE
• Eye protection:
- frames must provide sufficient coverage to block
light coming in from different sides.
- the size of the frame must be suitable for the face.
• The shape of the frame must take account of the
specific features of children's faces:
- flat face
- low nose bridge
