WEAR YOUR SUNGLASSES!
Your eye doctor has been telling you that sunglasses play an important role in protecting your eyes from the damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. Did you know that sunglasses can protect you from skin cancer too?
Sunglasses Protect your Eyes. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays increases your odds of getting cataracts, which cloud the lens of the eye and lead to diminished eyesight. UV rays have also been tied to macular degeneration, which causes damage to the retina. Fair-skinned people with light color eyes, blue, green, grey, should be especially diligent about sunglass wear.
Sunglasses Protect your Skin too! The skin around the eyes is very fragile, and needs to be protected from the damaging rays of the sun. Protection is needed from direct sunlight, as well as the sunlight that reflects off of water, sand & snow. Sunglasses shield the delicate skin around your eyes, so think BIG when choosing your frames.
The Opticians at Fairmont Optical can help you select the best sunglasses for your vision needs. We offer both regular & prescription sunglasses that can safely take you through every season of the year.
See well and be well with a great pair of sunglasses from Fairmont Optical!
