There's nothing quite like finding the most amazing pair of sunglasses. For some, the process is pretty simple. All they need to do is visit a preferred carrier of eyewear and pick out a pair. For others, the process is a bit more complicated. If you are an eyeglass wearer, our staff at Advanced Family Eye Care PC feels your pain.
Prescription Sunglasses
Something to note, whether you need prescription lenses or not, is that UV protection lessens over time. It's recommended that you replace either the pair of sunglasses or the lenses every two years. Never fear, there are plenty of styles available to keep you looking as stylish as you want to look every time you refresh a pair.
There are two major options when it comes to eyeglass wearers. For one, if you'd prefer not to get a whole pair of sunglasses, you can opt for a clip-on set. Basically, these lenses snap over the glasses you're already using, and they don't require a prescription. No need to exchange frames or run the risk of setting anything down in the wrong spot. Our most popular choice is just switching out glasses for sunglasses. This option offers a change of look and the need to carry a case around for a quick exchange.
Do I really need sunglasses?
Yes, that goes for everyone, whether they wear corrective lenses or not. Many may not be aware, but your eyes can get sun damage just like your skin does. UV rays can even impact you when the sun isn't directly out. Walking out into a sea of snow can cause snowblindness.
Too much UV exposure can cause your eyes to age faster, which can cause you to need reading glasses earlier or even worsen your vision. UV rays also help perpetuate cataracts, the type of thing that can only be surgically removed. That's not the complete list, but it's definitely enough food for thought. If you have questions, feel free to consult your Stevensville optometrist next time you're in for an appointment.
