Why Sunglasses Are Important
Many people think of sunglasses as an accessory, but they are actually an important part of maintaining healthy eyes. Just as sunscreen helps protect your skin, quality sunglasses help protect your eyes from harmful UV exposure.
Protecting your eyes from UV rays is important year-round, not just during the summer months.
Long-term exposure to ultraviolet light has been associated with increased risk of:
Cataracts
Macular degeneration
Eye irritation
Photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye)
Long-term vision changes
Damage to surrounding eye tissues
Colorado's Sun Creates Unique Eye Protection Needs
Living in Colorado means enjoying plenty of sunshine throughout the year. While that's great for outdoor activities, it also means your eyes may experience increased UV exposure compared to many other parts of the country.
Wearing quality sunglasses regularly can help reduce unnecessary strain and improve visual comfort in bright conditions.
Factors that can increase exposure include:
High altitude
Sunny weather
Snow reflection
Water reflection
Outdoor recreation
Extended driving
Prescription Sunglasses Available
If you wear prescription glasses, you don't have to sacrifice clear vision while spending time outdoors.
Prescription sunglasses are a popular option for patients who spend significant time driving, exercising outdoors, participating in recreational activities, or simply enjoying Colorado's outdoor lifestyle.
Our team can help determine which options best fit your prescription and daily needs.
Many modern sunglasses can be customized with prescription lenses, allowing you to enjoy:
Clear distance vision
UV protection
Reduced glare
Improved outdoor comfort
Greater convenience
