Heavy on Fashion Style flash - Steven Alan & Women's Health Mag Limited-Edition Sunglasses



 Women’s Health magazine and fashion designer, Steven Alan have partnered to create a pair of exclusive, limited-edition sunglasses for charity.









By purchasing these sunglasses, consumers will be not only protecting themselves from the sun’s harmful rays, but also protecting others:  Steven Alan Optical will donate 100 percent of the net proceeds to Eye Care America, a public service program that provides eye care at no out-of-pocket cost to medically underserved seniors who qualify.

ABOUT The Agnes:
The Agnes in Aqua Stripe was specifically designed in collaboration with Women’s Health Magazine to promote eye care awareness. A large dramatic cat eye frame, the Women’s Health Agnes features 100% UVA/UVB olive gradient lenses designed to protect the entire eye from harmful sun rays. For each sale of the Women’s Health Agnes, Steven Alan Optical will donate 100 percent of net proceeds to EyeCare America.

By way of background from the article: Fewer than 10 percent of people realize it’s critical to safeguard their eyes. “That whole area is vulnerable to UV rays,” says Anne Sumers, M.D., of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). “We’re seeing more cases of eye sunburn, more people with damage to the whites of the eyes, and more cancers in and around the eye.”
