UV Awareness & Prescription Sunglasses

Prescription Sunglasses are without a doubt one of our most beloved summer accessories. There are numerous styles and colors to choose from, and we are pleased to provide our patients with a diverse assortment of sunglasses to meet their preferences. These include everything from classic styles to the most up-to-date current trends.

UV protection is essential:

Sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement. They are also the only means by which we can protect our eyes from the sun's harmful effects. Almost everyone is aware that the sun generates UV rays, burning our skin if we do not protect it. Our eyes experience the same impacts. Spending too much time in direct sunlight has been linked to developing a range of significant eye diseases, some of which can result in temporary or even permanent vision loss.

Some ocular disorders have been demonstrated to be more common in patients whose eyes have been exposed to UV light over extended periods, including:

• Cataracts are a condition in which the eye's natural lens becomes clouded, impairing the patient's eyesight.

• Macular degeneration occurs when the macula (the central region of the eye) begins to degrade over time. This usually develops as people get older, although it can start sooner in persons who have had a lot of UV exposure.

• Photokeratitis, often known as corneal sunburn, is a painful condition resulting in temporary vision loss.

• Pterygium is a growth in the white of the eye that can become large enough to block the patient's vision.

• The upper or lower eyelids may develop skin cancer.

Because UV light may penetrate cloud cover, you're at risk of developing eye problems even if the sun isn't shining brightly outdoors. Wearing sunglasses whenever you walk outside, especially on cloudy days, is the greatest method to avoid these situations. Choose a style that offers 100 percent UV protection - this should be stated on the label, or we can test your glasses to establish their level of UV protection.

Sunglasses with Prescription

You may be wondering what your alternatives are for safeguarding your eyes if you are currently dependent on prescription glasses. Fortunately, prescription sunglasses eliminate sacrificing vision quality to protect your eyes. Prescription sunglasses combine your regular prescription lens with a unique coating that blocks 100 percent of UV rays. This means that perfect vision is still possible. Prescription sunglasses are available in various frames, guaranteeing that there is a style to suit you.
