As a member of The Vision Council, NSL Analytical Services is proud to support National Sunglasses Day on Sunday, June 27.  This initiative promotes the importance of wearing ultraviolet (UV)-protective eyewear.  The annual celebration reminds everyone that wearing sunglasses is not only fashionable, but it is also a health necessity.

As a provider of ophthalmic testing services, we're happy to share that after years of work, The Vision Council has successfully won a Proposition 65 Safe Use Determination (SUD) from the State of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) for exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) from polycarbonate prescription glasses, non-prescription sunglasses, over-the-counter reading glasses, and safety glasses manufactured, distributed, or sold by members of The Vision Council. Essentially, this SUD issuance from the OEHHA concludes that a Proposition 65 warning is not required in these optical products because the amount of BPA is so small that it does not create a health risk.
