Sunglasses
Sunglasses and sunwear are must-haves for protecting your eyes from the harmful elements that they are exposed to. Outdoor recreation and fun in the sun are a way of life on Vancouver Island. We screen for dry eye at every exam, and for those that need more dry eye attention, we bring them back for a dry eye workup. For those who want to wear contact lenses, it is essential that they have a healthy tear film.
Benefits of Sunglasses
When choosing sunglasses, it’s essential to look for those that provide 100% UV protection. This ensures that the lenses block both UVA and UVB rays, offering comprehensive protection for the eyes. Additionally, sunglasses should be comfortable to wear, and, if needed, prescription sunglasses can be obtained for those who require vision correction.
- UV Protection: Prevent Eye Damage: UV protection shields the eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
- Prevention of Eye Fatigue: outdoor activities such as sports, hiking, or driving, sunglasses can contribute to reduced eye fatigue and improved concentration.
- Comfort and Reduced Eye Strain: Wearing sunglasses in bright conditions reduces the need to squint, which can contribute to less eye strain and fatigue.
- Prevention of Dry Eyes: shielding the eyes from wind and dry air, our eyewear can help prevent excessive evaporation of tear film, reducing the risk of dry eyes.
- Fashion and Style: They come in various shapes, colors, and styles, allowing individuals to express their personality.
