Eye Protection, Whatever the Weather
Sunscreen protects your skin, but your eyes need protection from the sun as well. Ultraviolet lights can cause damage to your sight and increase your susceptibility to eye conditions like cataracts.
Whether you are looking for prescription or nonprescription sunglasses, we offer many choices. We carry sunglasses for the whole family, from seniors to children and everyone in between.
All-Season Sun Protection
On a beach or ski vacation, sun protection is essential. Bright, sunny days and glare from the ocean or lake and reflections off the snow or pavement can damage your eyes.
UV light exposure increases your risk of age-related macular degeneration, eyelid skin cancer, corneal sunburns, and growths on and around the eyes.
Cloud cover does not protect your eyes from the sun either: UV rays can penetrate clouds. Please consider wearing sunglasses year-round to shield your eyes from the sun.
Not All Sunglasses Are the Same
When shopping for sunglasses, pick a pair that filters both UVA and UVB rays. Your style can also influence your protection. For example, we often recommend wraparound style frames to protect your eyes from all angles.
Those who drive a lot or spend a lot of time outdoors may also benefit from polarized lenses. These lenses help reduce glare from reflected light and provide clearer vision.
It is important to note that lens darkness does not necessarily determine the amount of UV protection in your sunglasses. All of our sunglasses are designed to provide the most protection possible.
Children Need Sunglasses Too
More than half of lifetime UV exposure occurs before the age of 18. Kids spend more time outdoors in the sun than adults and should wear sunglasses year-round to protect their developing eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.
Infants should always be kept out of direct sunlight. If young children are outside, extra sun shields, like an umbrella or wide-brimmed sun hat, can add an additional layer of protection for little ones.
Set them up for good vision for life by selecting a pair of good-quality, UV-blocking sunglasses. Visit us today to find the perfect pair for your child—and yourself.
