Are Your Trendy Sunglasses Really Protecting Your Vision?

Although many of us wear trendy sunglasses because they look cool; it is also important to make sure they protect our eyes. We all love the abundance of sunny days we get living in California, but the glare from the sun and dangerous UV rays can wreak havoc on your eyes and can even threaten your vision. Our eye doctor in West Hollywood offers a wide range of sunglass options and designer frames in the latest styles, with proper UV protection.
 

What is UV and Why Do My Eyes Need Protection?

UV, meaning ultraviolet, is invisible to the eye, but this band of the spectrum contains UVA and UVB rays, which can both cause eye damage including cataracts, retinal damage, and even sunburn of the cornea. Proper eye care includes appropriate sunglasses that block these damaging rays.
 

What Type of Sunglasses Do I Need for Proper Eye Care?

Our optometrist in West Hollywood suggests sunglasses with the protection of "UV 400", which means the lenses will block UV rays as small as 400 nanometers, providing 100% eye care and protection.

Dr. Stybel, our experienced eye doctor, warns that you also need to protect your eyes from the glare caused by visible spectrum rays, which requires lenses that block 75 to 90% of visible light. Polarized lenses designed especially for this work best and are perfect for boating, golfing, jogging, and driving in California.
