So… summer’s coming.

And with it comes more outdoor activities, ranging from sports to picnics to reunions and vacations. All equate to increased exposure to the sun and its ultraviolet effects. Be sure you’re prepared to protect your eyes with lenses that shield them from UV rays. The alternative could lead to serious damage in the form of cataracts, macular degeneration, photokeratitis or worse. See your optician about getting a pair of glasses you can count on to keep you covered.

Another option to consider is photochromic lenses, which automatically darken when you enter sunlight, generally eliminating the need for separate glasses.

Polarized lenses are also popular among those who are frequently out in the sun. They reduce glare reflected off of other services, and can be combined with UV ray protection and special coatings to provide you with optimal vision while you’re out enjoying the warm weather ahead.
