Sunwear

Sunwear
Sunwear is an important, but frequently overlooked, part of an eye care program. Consider the following protective options:

Sunglasses
Sun Clip-Ons

Sunglasses
Wearing sunglasses is one of the easiest ways to protect and help preserve your eyesight. Just as sunscreen protects skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, sunglasses protect your eyes. The harmful effects of going unprotected include:

Irreversible damage to your eyes, since UV radiation can burn your eyes as it does your skin.
Certain eye diseases - UV radiation has been linked to diseases that may lead to blindness, such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

The earlier you start protecting your eyes, the better. If you've had LASIK or PRK laster vision correction, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses to protect you eyes.
Ask you vision care provider for prescription or non-prescription sunglasses that block at lease 99% of UV radiation.

Sun Clip-Ons
For quick and easy sun protection ask your provider about clip-ons that match the size shape of eyeglasses. Now in stylish designs each has rubber-covered prongs to keep them place without scratching lenses.
