How Can Prescription Sunglasses Change Everything?

A large percentage of the population requires corrective lenses, and several within that demographic cannot utilize contacts or simply prefer not to. This makes it quite difficult to wear sunglasses; an integral apparel item serving the dual purpose of style and safety.

If you are a daily wearer of glasses, or your prescription requires you to only wear glasses, then prescription sunglasses is the way to go! Having to squint in the sun or experiencing a glare through your prescription eyeglasses may seem like just a nuisance; however, far more severe damage is done.

New U Vision believes everyone should have the ability to wear sunglasses during these summer months, as exposing your eyes to UV rays and blue light is equally as harmful as a sunburn. But how could that be so?

Sunglasses and Eye Health

The sun is a life-sustaining star that our very delicate existence relies on to survive. But beautiful daylight not only emits ultraviolet (UV) light, it actually contains the same blue light that we hear about on our computer and mobile device screens.

When blue light or UV light comes from the sun, these waves find their way into our eyesight by bouncing off the objects around us. Over exposure to either of these rays produced by the sun can cause macular degeneration, cataracts, and even cancer of the eyelids!

These are reasons enough to always wear sunglasses during sunny days, especially in the summer when the sun is at its most powerful. And to those who worry about having to put sunglasses over their daily eyewear: it is time to consider prescription sunglasses!

Benefits of Prescription Sunglasses

Prescription sunglasses are a worthy investment of your health, just as much as wearing sunblock, bundling up in the winter months, and buckling your seatbelt in the car. Aside from the aesthetic obviousness of improved style, there are so many crucial benefits to prescription sunglasses.

One of the most important pros is that they facilitate 100% UV and blue light eye protection without you having to sacrifice your ability to see clearly. Additional to that, your eyesight will in no way be obstructed by glare, as prescription sunglasses use polarized lenses to neutralize it.

Damaging UV and blue light rays are always around, as sure as the sun rises in the east every day. It is also a future fact that there will be days you may not want to wear contacts, so always having an option to protect your eyes during the daylight hours, no matter where you live, is key.
