Eyeglass World
NORCROSS, GA, January 15, 2013
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Although most people are generally aware of how Ultraviolet (UV) rays can be damaging to the skin,
designer eyewear retailer Eyeglass World reminds us that it is equally important to understand the dangers UV rays present to the eyes. UV radiation is a year round issue, and wearing sunglasses is essential to protecting your vision.
UV rays can inflict a variety of vision problems, including cataracts (a clouding of the eye's natural lens), macular degeneration (a degeneration of a part of the retina), pingueculae and pterygia (growths on the eyes), and photokeratitis (a "sunburn" of the cornea), which can lead to temporary loss of vision.
The best way to protect your vision from UV rays is to wear
sunglasses whenever you are outdoors in the sun, even if you are in your car. Although many people assume that this is only necessary in the summer, the truth is that it is important year round. The same goes for children as well. Much of a person's exposure to sun starts in childhood, so it is essential to get an early start on proper protection.
"There is a lot of awareness out there about the harmful effects of UV rays on the skin," explains Des Taylor, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Eyeglass World. "We want to make sure that people also understand the damage these rays can cause to the eyes and how to protect their vision with the right
eyewear."
At Eyeglass World, you can find a wide selection of
prescription sunglasses with lenses specially developed to block UV rays. Furthermore, with a variety of designer frames available, you will not have to sacrifice fashion in order to protect your vision. In fact, many of the designer prescription sunglasses at Eyeglass World are some of the highest quality protection you can get.
