At A B Vision Eyecare in Linstead and Kingston, we offer a large inventory of stylish sunglasses. Many people simply see sunglasses as a fashion statement. However, sunglasses can actually protect your eyes. Wearing sunglasses can even help you avoid diseases like cataracts and retinal disorders. Read on to learn more about the benefits of sunglasses.
Sunglasses are More Than a Fashion Statement
Jamaica is one of the sunniest places on Earth. While this sunny weather is a big part of what makes Jamaica so special, it can be dangerous for your eyes. This is because sunshine includes UV rays. UV rays (specifically UVA rays and UVB rays) can be harmful to your eyes if they're exposed for long enough. Thankfully, it's easy to protect your eyes from UV rays. All you have to do is wear a quality pair of sunglasses in the sunshine. This will help you avoid the serious eye problems that UV rays can cause, including cataracts and retinal damage.
When selecting a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes, it's important to consider the UV rating of the product. Many sunglasses claim to block 99% of UV rays. However, you should look for sunglasses that are marked "UV 400." These shades will block almost all UV rays.
A Huge Inventory of Stylish Sunglasses
We proudly carry a wide variety of sunglasses at our practice. We have both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses in stock. Our prescription sunglasses can provide the exact same level of vision correction as your prescription eyeglasses. At your eye exam, simply let Dr. Mattis know that you want both prescription eyeglasses (or contact lenses) and prescription sunglasses. Of course, if you want non-prescription sunglasses, all you have to do is select your favorite pair from our inventory.
