Without protection, your eyes can be permanently damaged by ultraviolet rays. UVA and UVB rays contribute to vision loss over time. Specifically, they cause the development of cataracts (vision clouding) and macular degeneration (loss of central vision). UV rays are especially harmful to people taking certain medications, such as sulfa drugs, diuretics, tranquilizers, and birth control pills.
To protect your vision now and in the future, invest in a pair of quality sunglasses from a Calgary eye care provider.
CHOOSE WELL-MADE SUNGLASSES
If you choose a pair of sunglasses at the drugstore, they might protect you from bright light, but they might do little to filter out harmful UV rays. Also, poorly made glasses often contain flaws or distortions, which can make your eyes work harder to focus and result in headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
