Why Prescription Sunglasses are a Must for Vision and Eye Health

If you have a prescription for eyeglasses, consider getting prescription sunglasses to go with them. There are multiple benefits of prescription sunglasses that the team at Champaign Eye Professionals wants you to know. Here are some of them.

Adding UV Protection

Even if you don’t feel uncomfortable in the sunlight, your eyes can be damaged by UV rays. Prescription sunglasses that you order from your Champaign eye doctor will protect your eyes. They also protect the skin around your eyes from damage due to UV ray protection.

Limiting Eye Strain

When you don’t wear sunglasses, your eyes may face strain from the sun and the glare it creates. You will find less eye strain when you add prescription sunglasses to your eyecare toolbox. You can spend the entire day out in the sun without getting a headache or pain in your eyes.

Lessening Risk of Eye Disease

Did you know your eyes can get sunburned? This condition, known as photokeratitis, is serious and can impact your eyesight for life, increasing the risk of other eye diseases. Sunglasses reduce that risk, and they can also lessen the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, or retinal deterioration.

Keeping Vision Clear

Prescription sunglasses keep your vision clear when you’re outdoors. You won’t be squinting, and you won’t have to take off your prescription glasses to wear regular sunglasses. You will have your prescription and your sun protection all in one place.
