June 27th 2017 – National Sunglasses Day.

Tomorrow is National Sunglasses Day, Tuesday, June 27th. Everyone needs to realize the importance of protecting your eyes from the harmful effect of Ultraviolet rays. The sun is beautiful and provides us with a great dose of much needed Vitamin D, but extended exposure without the proper eye protection can lead to long term health issues. First and foremost, make sure you are wearing good quality sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays. There is a great assortment of fashion sun-wear out there that looks great, but does not provide the proper protection. Come in to one of our optical shops and our opticians can help you choose something fashionable that will provide the much needed protection from the sun.

Sun lenses come in an array of different colors. Dark gray lenses are wonderful if you are light sensitive. Brown or green lenses are high contrast tints that give you better clarity in your vision (Great for golfers). If you are on the water boating or fishing, polarized lenses are a must. Stop by and have one of our opticians fit you with a pair of sunglasses that are perfect for your visual needs. Enjoy “National Sunglasses Day”!
