Extreme
Tan and Smoothies Takes our Customer Protection Seriously
Indoor Tanning Eye Protection
 |
| |
We Carry Peepers, Sun Globes,
Sunsets and Wink-Ease (Disposable Eye Protection).
Peepers are the most commonly used and
most generic form of Eye Protection used in Indoor
Tanning Today, a few reasons people move away
from peepers would be due to the fact that they
come with a string which could leave Tan Lines
on the sides of your face, the eye coverage area
is also much larger than needed, and there is
a piece of plastic that covers a small area on
the nose, which could lead to a Tan Line directly
on the bridge of your nose.
Sunsets come in various colors, and provide
the same protection as Peepers, however Sunsets
do not have any strings, nor is there a piece
that goes over the nose which means no tan lines
from this form of Eye protection. One downfall
to Sunsets is that they are still a bit large
on the eye coverage area and they are not recommended
for use in stand ups because there is nothing
securing them to your face.
Sun Globes also come in numerous colors
and just like Sunsets there are no strings which
means No Tan lines from using this form of Eye
Protection, one HUGE advantage to using these
over any other form of Eye Protection is that
these are very small in nature and only cover
the portion of your eye that needs to be protected,
you wont have to worry about having any Tan lines
or Raccoon eyes with these.
Wink Ease are an excellent form of Disposable
eye protection, we carry them for anyone looking
for a one time use eye protection, the biggest
draw backs to win ease is that with Lotion on
your hands it can be tough getting these to stay
on your eye's, in addition over a long period
of time you save money by going with a permanent
for of eye protection. |

Eyelids
block less than 25% of harmful UV
rays, so closing your eyes is not protecting you
from the UVA and UVB rays from a tanning bed.
Red, itchy or watery eyes may be an indication
of short-term damage - your eyes have been sunburned!
Repeated exposure will reduce night vision, diminish
color perception, and increase your probability
of brunescent cataracts. Surgery is the only cure
for cataracts. |

Seeing
The Light:
Using
Eyewear During Tanning Is Essential
by
Judie Bizzozero |
| As
a responsible tanner--both indoors and outdoors--you
must remember to take care of your eyes.
While many people view eyewear as a means
to make a fashion statement, the simple
truth is eyewear originally was developed
to protect eyes from the potentially damaging
rays of the sun and flying debris.
However,
because eyewear has become a staple of the
fashion world, many forget that potential
damage from excessive ultraviolet light
exposure to the eyes can result in serious
injury and permanent damage.
Let's
face the facts--eye damage is cumulative.
Do you recall when our grammar school teachers
extolled the dangers of looking directly
into a solar eclipse? Well, believe it or
not, they knew what they were talking about.
Not only can direct sunlight cause harm,
but did you know that reflective ultraviolet
rays from sand and snow also can damage
your eyes?
Your
tanning salon professional reminds you to
wear protective goggles, such as Super Sunnies
or disposable eyewear for a reason. And
although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
requires you to wear them while you are
in a tanning bed, your common sense should
be screaming that message loud and clear.
Eyewear
is readily available at your tanning salon
for an affordable price. For example, Lucas
Products offers a complete selection of
stylish, plastic goggles in a number of
colors. Additionally, disposable eyewear
is another option for protecting your delicate
eyes.
Whether
you are wearing sunglasses outdoors or protective
goggles for indoor tanning, you must keep
them clean. There is nothing more unappealing
than putting on eyewear that is smudged
with mascara, dirt and/or debris. Of even
greater concern is the invisible threat
of contracting a virus from someone who
has worn the eyewear previously--even if
you own the eyewear.
The
most commonly transmitted eye disease is
pinkeye, which is a highly infectious disease
characterized by itching, redness, swelling
and increased secretion. Impetigo, viral
or bacterial infections, cold sores and
various other sores also are on the transferable
disease list.
If
you think these diseases only happen in
salons, think again. How many times do you
take your sunglasses on and off, lying them
on restaurant tables and putting them in
your mouth? Now do you get the picture?
Try cleaning them with a disinfectant on
a regular basis. If you tan in a salon,
make sure the goggles are cleaned and disinfected
by the salon after each use--even if you
own your own eyewear.
Whether
you are skiing down the slopes of Telluride,
lounging on the beach in St. Thomas or catching
15 minutes of tanning at a tanning salon,
you must protect your eyes--they are the
only ones you have.
The
following information should help you understand
the facts about tanning and your eyes:
- Eyewear
protects your eyes from potentially
harmful ultraviolet light.
- Eyelids
will not tan, they will burn.
- Ultraviolet
damage is cumulative.
- Closing
your eyes does not protect them from
potential ultraviolet damage.
- The
short-term health risk is a corneal
burn, which is a sunburn on the surface
of the eye. These burns show up within
a few hours of overexposure and are
characterized by increased sensitivity,
a burning sensation and excessive tearing.
The effects apparently are temporary
and usually disappear within a day or
so.
- The
long-term health risk includes brunescent
cataracts, which is a clouding or a
pigmentation of the lens within the
eye. They are slow to develop, usually
occurring over a matter of years, but
they are permanent. The clouding affects
night vision and also can alter perception
of color. Unfortunately, cataract surgery
is the only known cure
