What are the benefits of wearing prescription sunglasses?   

If you need eyeglasses for vision correction, you should have at least one pair of prescription sunglasses as well. Prescription sunglasses provide a number of benefits, including: 

Safety  

Sunglasses protect your eyes from high winds, dust, sand, and other airborne debris that can irritate your eyes and damage your cornea. Additionally, prescription sunglasses reduce glare and improve visual clarity for activities that require clear vision like driving and cycling.  

Protection from harmful UV rays 

Exposure to UV light increases your risk of developing eye diseases and other issues, including cataracts, photokeratitis, macular degeneration, melanoma, and pterygium. Quality prescription sunglasses protect your eyes from UV radiation, reducing your risk of developing sight-stealing eye diseases and other conditions.  

Reduced eye strain and fewer headaches   

While most people associate blue light with computers and digital screens, the sun is the leading source of blue light. Blue light exposure can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like eye strain and headaches. VisionArts Eyecare Center offers prescription sunglasses that block 100% of UV and solar blue light when outdoors.    

Versatility

Prescription sunglasses can be used for a range of outdoor activities, such as sports, driving, or relaxing at the beach, while still providing clear vision and eye protection.
