Buenaus Opticians Inc.   The Quality Service You Expect – At Prices That Can't Be Beat

Sunglasses

Even though the sun is 93 million miles away, it's harmful rays can still damage your eyes. Ultraviolet radiation, a harmful type of invisible light, penetrates deep into the eye causing damage. Long term exposure to ultraviolet radation contributes to a variety of eye disorders including cataracts, skin cancer around the eye, cornea damage and, perhaps most importantly, age-related macular degeneration (AMD). While avoiding sun damage all together is nearly impossible, you can take preventative measures to protect your eyes, and the best way to do that is with a pair of polarized sunglasses.

It's important to understand that not all sunglasses are created equal, and price is no guarantee of quality. Polarized sunglasses offer 99 - 100% protection from UV-A and UV-B rays. Normally, the eye protects itself from bright light by constricting the pupil and closing the eyelids. However when sunglasses are worn, the pupil doesn’t constrict and, if the lenses are not UV protective, you can actually do more harm. Damage to the retina is not usually reversable.

Here at Buenau's Opticians, we offer a wide variety of sunglass options. We have designer brands including Maui Jim & Costa Del Mar. Maui Jim features the patented PolarizedPlus®Z lens technology for brilliant color, so every detail is crisper & clearer without the glare as well as 100% protection from UV rays. We also feature a wide variety of options to meet your specific perscription needs.
