Sunwear
UV Protection
Ultraviolet radiation reaches the eyes not only from the sky above but also by reflection from the ground, especially water, snow, sand and other bright surfaces. Protection from sunlight may be obtained by using both a brimmed hat or cap and UV absorbing eyewear.
Ultraviolet radiation may play a contributory role in the development of various ocular disorders including cataract, pterygium, ocular cancers, photokeratitis (flash burns) and corneal degenerative changes. It may contribute to age-related macular degeneration.
As your eye care professional we consider UV protected sunglasses to be an integral part of your eye care needs.
UV Protection — A Must for Children
The average child receives three times the annual UV exposure of an adult
7.5 times greater UVR transmission through the lens inside a child’s eye
75% transmission at age 10, 10% at age 30
Damage from UVR is cumulative
Lenses
Lenses Types
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are specialized eyewear lenses that are designed to reduce glare and improve visual clarity, especially in bright sunlight or reflective environments. These lenses contain a special filter that blocks intense reflected light, such as glare from water, snow, or shiny surfaces, while allowing vertical light rays to pass through.
The main benefits of polarized lenses include:
1. Glare reduction: Polarized lenses significantly reduce glare from surfaces like water, snow, and roads, making it easier to see clearly and reducing eye
strain.
2. Improved visual clarity: By reducing glare and enhancing contrast, polarized lenses can improve visual clarity and depth perception, especially in bright
outdoor conditions.
3. UV protection: Many polarized lenses also offer UV protection to shield the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Polarized lenses are commonly used in sunglasses for outdoor activities such as driving, fishing, boating, and skiing. They are a popular choice for individuals looking for enhanced comfort and visual performance in sunny conditions.
Transitions Lenses
Transitions lenses are a type of photochromic lenses that automatically adjust their tint level in response to changing light conditions. These lenses are clear indoors and at night, but they darken when exposed to UV light outdoors. The transition from clear to dark and vice versa is smooth and gradual, providing comfort and convenience to the wearer.
The key features of Transitions lenses include:
1. Light sensitivity: Transitions lenses darken in response to UV light, protecting the eyes from harmful UV rays and reducing glare in bright sunlight.
2. Versatility: Transitions lenses offer the convenience of having both prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses in one, eliminating the need to switch between different pairs of glasses.
3. Eye health: By blocking UV light, Transitions lenses help protect the eyes from potential damage caused by prolonged sun exposure, such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
Transitions lenses are available in different colors and tint levels to suit individual preferences and needs. They are a popular choice for individuals who want the benefits of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses in a single pair of glasses.
Contact lenses
Contact Lenses Are a Medical Device
Contact lenses are thin, curved lenses that are placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision or for cosmetic purposes. They are a popular alternative to eyeglasses for correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia.
There are several types of contact lenses available, including:
Soft contact lenses: Made of flexible, water-containing plastics, soft contact lenses are comfortable to wear and conform to the shape of the eye. They are available in various designs to correct different vision conditions.
Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses: These lenses are made of rigid, oxygen-permeable materials that allow oxygen to reach the cornea. RGP lenses provide crisp vision and are durable, but they may require an adaptation period.
Hybrid contact lenses: Hybrid lenses have a rigid gas permeable center surrounded by a soft outer ring, combining the benefits of both types of lenses for improved comfort and vision correction.
Specialty contact lenses: These include toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and scleral lenses for irregular corneas or certain eye conditions.
Contact lenses require proper care and maintenance to ensure eye health and comfort. It is important to follow the recommendations of an eye care professional regarding the type of contact lenses suitable for your eyes, proper insertion and removal techniques, cleaning and disinfection protocols, and wearing schedule. Regular eye exams are also essential to monitor the health of your eyes and ensure the optimal fit and prescription of your contact lenses.
Our optometrists are experienced in contact lens assessment. As part of our contact lens fitting we examine the lens on your eye, check for best corrected vision and ensure optimal comfort. Patients are to wear the lenses on a trial basis prior to ordering to ensure contact lens comfort and vision is maintained. Never worn contact lenses? no problem! Our doctors and staff will educate you on proper insertion and removal of lenses in addition to proper contact lens maintenance meaning proper care and handling or lenses to prevent possible infections.
