Your Eye Health and Sunglasses

10/27/2014

0 Comments

 
Many scientific studies indicate that spending long hours in the sun without eye protection can damage your eyes and contribute to cataracts, macular degeneration, and growths on the eye, like cancer. Based on these studies, ophthalmologists recommend that you wear 99% and above UV-absorbent sunglasses and a brimmed hat whenever you’re in the sun for long periods of time.

Always wear sunglasses... 
  • during the summer, when the level of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) is at least three times higher than during the winter;
  • when at the beach or in the water;
  • when participating in winter sports (snowboarding, Skiing, etc.),  especially at high altitudes;
  • when using medications that can cause photosentivity.


Come in today and check out our Selection of Ray Ban Sunglasses. Right now all Ray Bans are 25% off and if you order any other glasses and get a Ray Ban as your second pair get 40% off!
