UV Rays and Eye Health 

Here in Florida, being out in the sun is a way of life. During the nice seasons of the year, you want to spend as much time outdoors as possible. This can be a fun and healthy part of your life, but it is important to remember you must protect yourself properly from the UV rays of the sun. This means more than just slathering sunscreen on your skin. It also means protecting your eyes.

The UV rays from the sun can take a toll on your eyes, your vision, and your eye health. Just like UV rays can damage your skin, these same rays can also damage your eyes. You can still enjoy your time outdoors, though, if you have the proper protection.

Overexposure to UV rays can result in blurry vision and, in some severe cases, permanent damage to your eyes.+
 

Our Optometrist Can Help 

The best way to protect yourself from the harmful UV rays of the sun is to have sunglasses with UV protection. You can get these special sunglasses from our eye doctor. If you have a vision correction prescription, you can also get prescription sunglasses with UV protection as well.
