Dependable Sun Protection for Every Family Member
There’s a lot to love about the benefits of sunlight. Sunny days can support our overall wellness, from creating vitamin D to uplifting your mood. However, the sun’s UV rays also present many risks to our eyes and skin.
But there’s an easy, stylish way to protect your eyes outdoors: wearing sunglasses that provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
At Dr. David Oliphant Optometry, we carry a large selection of prescription and non-prescription sunglasses. Come by our showroom to see what effective, trendy sun protection looks like.
Shade Your Eyes from Direct UV Exposure
No matter the season, summer or winter, sunny days come with a side of ultraviolet (UV) exposure. UV damage is cumulative–meaning it adds up over time–and can increase your risk of:
- Cataracts
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Skin cancer on the eyelids
- Corneal sunburn
- Growths on the eye’s surface
Sunglasses are a simple and fun way to accessorize while keeping your eyes safe.
Keep Kids Eyes Safe with Sunglasses
Sunglasses are especially important for kids. Approximately 50% of lifetime exposure to UV radiation occurs before age 18. So, it’s essential to keep children under 6 months old out of direct sunlight, and kids of all ages should be properly protected from the sun.
