Prescription sunglasses are not a seasonal item to be used only in summer. With the arrival of spring and good weather, simple daily activities such as going out for a drink on a terrace or walking outdoors also require eye protection against UV rays.
Here are several reasons to wear prescription sunglasses:
- They protect our eyes from UV radiation:
Continued exposure to sunlight without protection can cause damage to our eyes, promoting the appearance of long-term diseases, such as macular degeneration or the appearance of cataracts. Let's not forget that they also act as a protective barrier for the skin, preventing our eyelids from becoming irritated.
- They allow us to see clearly all day long:
Sunglasses can be prescribed with the correction we need, both with progressive lenses (to see far and near with the same glasses) and with monofocal lenses (to see at a single distance, far or near). This allows us to carry out our daily activities safely and confidently (reading, walking, or driving).
What else you should know about prescription sunglasses:
Damage to our vision cannot be seen immediately. That's why it's very important to wear your prescription sunglasses all year round and not just during the summer.
In addition to the frame adapting to your face and your daily activities, there are other important points to consider when choosing sun lenses:
Not all sunglass frames are suitable for all prescriptions. The curvature, size, or material is very important for optimal vision and comfort; always trust the advice and experience of your optometrist.
Make sure you purchase your prescription sunglasses at your trusted optician, LUPER, as this will ensure that your lenses have the approved 100% UV filter.
Darker lenses do not necessarily offer more protection. The darkness of the lens only reduces the amount of light that reaches the eye; what is important is that they have the corresponding UV filter.
Although any lens color can be chosen, there are colors that, depending on our ametropia, can provide clearer and sharper vision: brown is recommended for people with myopia, and green lenses for people with hyperopia.
The vision quality of prescription sun lenses is the same as that of the clear lenses we usually wear. The tinting allows us to avoid glare and maintain a clear view of the outside.
If you practice activities where there is a lot of glare, such as driving, you can use sunglasses with a polarized filter that eliminates those annoying reflections and glares.
