Celebrate National Sunglasses Day and Protect Your Eyes from UV

National Sunglasses Day is June 27th!

We invite you to post a picture of yourself, in your favorite sunglasses, on our Facebook page to celebrate the day #NationalSunglassesDay

Protect your Eyes from Damaging UV Rays

Consider these facts:

Over 41% of adults have experienced symptoms of prolonged UV exposure including eye irritation, trouble seeing, and red or swollen eyes
Most people take UV seriously when they think about skin cancer, but they don’t often register the danger to their vision
The value of sunscreen/hats is far better understood and practiced compared to UV eye protection
When asked about the dangers of UV, people are much more likely to be aware it causes skin cancer and sunburn, but far fewer Americans grasp the potential impacts on their vision, such as :
- Cataracts
- Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
- Photokeratitis (eye sunburn)
- Bloodshot eyes
- Swollen eyes
- Hypersensitivity to light

Whether time spent outdoors is brief or spans a longer time, we recommend UV-protective sunglasses to all of our patients. It is vital for eye health.

With our Optical Shop June Special Offer on sunglasses, we make it easy to get into stylish, designer sunglasses that protect your eyes. Check it out.
