Sun-Kissed Vision: Explore Premium Sunglasses for Delmar, NY & Beyond

Prescription & Non-Prescription Sunglasses

Even though the sun is 93 million miles away, deep in outer space, its harmful rays can cause damage your eyes. Without proper protection, ultraviolet radiation, a dangerous type of invisible light produced by the sun, can penetrate the eye, causing damage.

This happens every day, and many people don’t realize that long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation contributes to various eye disorders, including cataracts, skin cancer around the eye, cornea damage, and, perhaps most importantly, age-related macular degeneration (AMD). While avoiding sun damage altogether 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. Damage to the retina is typically irreversible. Usually, 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 do more harm to your eyes.
