BENEFITS OF HIGH-QUALITY SUNGLASSESFOR CONTACT LENS WEARERS
Most people who wear glasses know the importance of high-quality sunglasses. However, many contact lens wearers don’t know the benefits of great sunglasses and might opt for cheap drugstore sunglasses that don’t offer the same level of eye protection or quality of visual experience. Discount sunglasses that don’t provide full-spectrum UV protection could be doing more harm than good. Our Visionworks team explains the importance of high-quality sunglasses and how contact lens wearers can benefit from them.
WHY HIGH-QUALITY SUNGLASSES ARE IMPORTANT
While we all love bright sunny days, rays from the sun can damage our skin and eyes. Just like sunscreen, sunglasses provide essential protection. However, not all sunglasses are created equal. Here are three reasons high-quality sunglasses are important for contact lens wearers.
TO BLOCK DAMAGING UV RAYS
High-quality sunglasses block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays, which can damage the eyes. Cheaper sunglasses may not provide adequate UV protection.
TO PREVENT EYE DISEASE
Sunglasses with 100% UV protection can prevent short-term eye conditions caused by too much UV exposure, like photokeratitis, commonly called eye sunburn. Over time, wearing high-quality sunglasses regularly reduces the risk of eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration.
TO REDUCE SIGNS OF AGING
While wearing sunscreen is great, you can’t apply it to the skin around the eyes, but that delicate skin still needs protection. High-quality sunglasses not only block harmful rays from entering the eye, but also shield the skin around the eyes to reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and crow’s feet.
SHOULD YOU GET HIGH-QUALITY SUNGLASSES IF YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Yes, those who wear contacts should protect their eyes with high-quality sunglasses. All Visionworks sunglasses are high-quality and available with non-corrective lenses and several personalization options, making them the perfect choice for contact lens wearers as well as people who don’t need vision correction.
