Eye Safety: UV Eye Protection

The sun is not always your friend - particularly when it comes to your precious vision. Just as we lather sunscreen on our skin for protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, similarly, our eyes too demand that safeguarding shield from us. At Total Vision Eye Health Associates in Port Orange, we are optometry professionals providing comprehensive eye care, including protection from UV light. If you need eye protection or prescription sunglasses, we can help!

Protecting Your Eyes from UV Light

Creating good habits and routines is the best way to protect your eyes from the sun. First, you should always wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection to safeguard your eyes from the harmful sun's rays. Second, regular routine visits to eye care professionals like the ones at Total Vision are also vital. We can provide personalized advice based on your individual eye care needs. We can also suggest other ways to help keep your eyes healthy.

How Do Prescription Sunglasses Work?

Prescription sunglasses are an ingenious blend of vision correction and UV protection. They function using special lenses tailored to your unique visual needs while also reducing the sun's glare and harmful UV rays. Prescription sunglasses have photochromic lenses that darken upon exposure to certain types of light, primarily UV radiation. When this light is no longer present (like when you go indoors), the lenses return to their transparent state. An eye doctor on our staff can help prescribe you a stylish and effective pair of sunglasses.
