Sunglasses

But the most important benefit of wearing sunglasses is protecting your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) light. Prolonged exposure to UV light can cause damage to the eyelid, cornea, lens, and retina. And it’s not just the sun that can cause damage to your eyes. Sunglasses also shield you from snow, sand, and wind. Snow reflects 80% of UV rays from the sun, sand can cause severe eye irritation, and wind can irritate and dry out your eyes.

Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to improve visual clarity by reducing glare off flat surfaces such as road and windshield reflections. They are most popular with boaters and fishermen, as they dramatically decrease water reflections, allowing a more comfortable and visible view of the fish beneath the surface. They also improve your vision when you’re outside, viewing the natural beauty that our planet offers. Stop by one of our two convenient locations in Springfield, Missouri, for an in-office demonstration, and let our friendly staff help you see the improvement in the quality of vision with polarized sun lenses!
