Today’s intense heat is harmful to the eyes. Prolonged exposure can affect the tear film that protects and lubricates the eye area leading to dryness. Symptoms of dry eyes include irritation, redness, and blurred vision.
Wearing the right pair of sunglasses is the simplest and safest way to protect your eyes from UV rays. Make sure to choose sunglasses that fit well and that block light from coming in around the lenses.
Wodd eyewear is made from bamboo, an eco-friendly material that is renewable and biodegradable and therefore produces minimal environmental impact. Bamboo groves are even known to help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, a viable tool for combating climate change.
Wodd PH is the country’s leading sustainable bamboo sunglasses. According to Wodd founder, and educator Dr. Stephene Roy Condino, also known as Doc Bigs, the eyewear is his company’s response to the global “no plastic” campaign. Apart from supporting the livelihood of bamboo farmers, it supports biodiversity because a tree is planted every time a Wodd eyewear is purchased.
The brand offers two types of eyewear the full bamboo sunglasses that float on water, and the hybrid model made of minimal plastic, for those who may be allergic to bamboo. The perfect accessory for beach lovers, especially for provinces that ban the use of plastic materials in the beach area, the eyewear also offers the perfect UV protection for city dwellers, driving or walking under the hot sun.
The bamboo used for the eyewear is sourced from Cebu while the Cat 3 polarized lenses are imported from Japan. Top designer brands also use the Cat 3 polarized lenses but are priced five times more. Wodd is available in major retail outlets with over 240 partner stores which include 5-star resorts and hotels, surf shops, and cafes, including Coastal Grounds Coffee in Siargao. It is also a proud partner of Haribon and Talarak nature conservation group.
The sustainable and stylish eyewear is set to launch in Singapore. Check their official Facebook page for more details.
